I was playing around just now with STUNT ISLAND  -- a very 
*under*rated package, but this is not the group for that discussion --
when I suddenly started dreaming about a game I'd like to see.

STUNT ISLAND features a fully-realized 3-D island loaded with 
interesting geological and architectural features to be used for stunt
flying (and the filming of same).  I was flying a little Curtiss 
JuneBug low and slow around this craggy cliff topped with a castle 
when an image from "Where Eagles Dare" popped into my head.  Then I 
began thinking:  wouldn't it be cool if I could use these locations to
set up and carry out commando raids?  Small teams of 4-8 commandos, 
each with a "first-person" POV you could toggle, doing missions in 
urban, jungle, marine environments....  Entebbe-like raids on 
airfields, taking out terrorists in a crowded football stadium, 
rescuing prisoners from an inaccessible Nazi-held castle....

Whew...
