Combat simulator? What kind of combat simulator?

 

Since the only combat simulator I've really played is America's Army, I'll say you should give that a try.

Eh? What lock on? Like a flight simulator? Red Baron owns.

Battlefield 1942 maybe?

Combat flight sim......IL-2 Sturmovik if you like WWII styled ones.

For modern, I have only played a couple and Lock On - Modern Air Combat is one of them, and I didn't like it. The controls are terrible (And I'm using a flight stick), the gameplay is too linear and it's overall just not that great of a game, far from the insane hype it was getting till it was released.

yea i was talking more of like modern air plane simulation like lock on..

 

hm.. any more games>>?.. thanks for the replies..!

I can tell you that the worst flight simulator I have ever played is Jane's Israeli Air Force. God that game was boring!

 

But IL-2 Sturmovik is my favorite flight combat simulator.

There aren't many recent modern flight combat simulators. Most of them are WWII oriented. But my favorite recent modern flight combat sim is F-22 Lightning 3. It's a few years old but I really enjoyed it, it had great nuke explosions.

 

But some really fun modern flight sims are old school like A-10 Cuba! and Jet Fighter II.

 

You can get the demo for Jet Fighter V at Gamespot. It's gotten pretty crappy user reviews but its worth a shot.

Combat simulators - Since you didn't really define anything. Rainbow Six and America's Army.

 

Call of Duty just because it uses Iron Sight.

Most Jane's games are subpar. I agree with the Sturmovik.
