This is the first game that actually wants you to die in order to give you a bonus. This is because the only way to collect all 5 landing bonuses of a level is to jump from the plane 5 times. And to jump 5 times means, that you have to day at least 4 times during a level (this is if you ALREADY know where exactly the landing bonus zones are located). Another option would be to hold a grenade during your initial jump and blow yourself to 5 pieces in the air, hoping that you will have at least one extremity in each of the bonus landing points. The most bizarre part is that there is a medal for not dying in a mission. So there is no way for you to take the landing bonuses of the level AND the medal.
Anyway - nice game with nice graphics and game play. Very realistic. More than CoD4, I must say. Especially fights; bad guys actually try to hide and plan some tactics, rather then jumping right onto your gun, cursing in Arabic. They also do not tend to die if a bullet scratches their leg or arm.
