Yes, I hate to bring up Earthseige, but one of the really cool thing
that ES did was falling down. It was quite I site to shoot the leg of
an enemy and see it trip and fall flat on it face, bits and pieces
flying everwhere on impact. Of course in that game once you fell down
you didn't get back up agian.

ES also had a good "smoking damage" effect.

Now there is no doubt that MW2 is one of the best games I've ever
played but there are improvments that could be bad and lessons that
could be learned from past programs like ES.
