The closest I have experienced is seeing the arcing patterns of tracer fire shooting up at the sky from 10 or 12,000 feet.

It is a video game and therefore not real. I think the actual experience of combat is probably very horrifying to be in. It takes great courage when the guns and bullets are real.

I enjoy playing the video games also though.

The scene that is from the view of a WSO (weapon's systems Officer) aboard the AC-130 directing fire to the ground is very realistic. The programmers of the game did a fantastic job. The noises and sights are very close to reality.
As I said, they did do a good job with the game. But it is far from real. Now shock and awe and bog were as close as you are going to get.

The ending really ticked me off. I must have played it fifty times trying to figure out how to get it done without everyone dieing.
