FC2 is the best FPS I ever played, and it's so underrated.

Fav quotes from the Jackal tapes in FC2:

"You can't break a man the way you break a dog or a horse. The harder you beat a man the taller he stands. To break a mans will, to break his spirit, you have to break his mind. Men have this idea that we can fight with dignity, that there is a proper way to kill someone. It's absurd. It's anesthetic; we needed to endure the bloody horror of murder. You must destroy that idea. Show them what a messy, terrible thing it is to kill a man, and then show them that you relish in it. Shoot to wound, then execute the wounded. Burn them. Take them in close combat. Destroy their preconceptions of what a man is and you become their personal monster. When they fear you, you become stronger; you become better. But let's never forget: it's a display, it's a posture, like a lions roar or a gorilla thumping at his chest. If you lose yourself in the display, if you succumb to the horror, then you become the monster. You become reduced; not more than a man, but less. And it can be fatal."

"I'll tell you what's sick! People in the UK, in the US, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Canada, Sweden - they pay their taxes and some remote-piloted drone fires a missile into a public market to hit some warlord. Yeah, so maybe war doesn't happen for another six months, and the price of that gluten-free sorghum bread stays low. It's not sick to arm people, it's sick to bump off their crooks and dictators in protection of our interests and then call it international justice. These people don't have remote-piloted drones guarding their interests ten-thousand miles away. They don't have a war machine paid for with taxes. Where I am, they usually don't even have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ government. The drone is the oppressor. The gluten-free sorghum bread is the oppressor. The AK-47 is the great equalizer. I empower these people."

"What do you think you're going to achieve with this interview? You think somebody in the Pentagon is going to read it and come after me? ♥♥♥♥ no! I'm a necessary evil. They want me here. They're glad I'm here. Because if I wasn't, they might have to come try to stem the tide. It would be thankless and worthless, and once the bodies start coming home in bags, they're screwed. A dead 23-year-old from Iowa gets more airtime than the deaths of fifty-thousand people he gave his life to protect. So even if they did give a ♥♥♥♥, their own media prevents them from taking action."

"War is my home."

I love the Jackal specifically for his powerful messages. He speaks the truth - horrible, bloody, truth. He shows that when it comes down to it, we're no better than the animals. Animals kill to survive and nothing more, but men kill for a multitude of reasons. We hunt for sport, we murder to insight fear and impose our will. We twist and delude religion to give our fellow man a just cause to wage war. We aren't as bad as animals, we're worse.
