This is the official full release game from the popular UT2003/4 mod by the same name. It won Epic's "Make Something Unreal" mod tournament that netted them a full game license and a big ol' wad of cash.

Its an ultra-realism WWII FPS game focused on infranty and tank combat between the Russians and Germans. There are no crosshairs (you have to bring your ironsights up to aim). There is bullet drop, sway, blur and concussion, realistic damage/death (one hit to the torso or head and you are dead), no radar, no ammo count, etc. Most people find it hard when they first start because you can't just run around full tilt and spray the enemy. Usually only a handful of SMG's per side and everyone else with bolt-action rifles. When driving tanks and other vehicles all you see is the inside of the vehicle and whats visible through the small hatch so you really do need a tank commander popping his head out and such.

Its a great change of pace from typical FPS games.

Used to play this mod back when it was just for UT2003. Pretty fun but it is so slow paced. Most people just camp and snipe. Might be interesting now that UT2004 added support for vehicles.
