Gears Of War ALSO uses 3rd/1st person flick in game.

Must be the requirement now that 1st person shooters now employ 'switching' between 3rd person view and 1st person, or a bastardised version of 1st person.

I watched the 'Hide And Kill' movie from Gears Of War and immediately was reminded of Ghost Recon : Advanced Warfighter (Single Player) and the new in game footage for Rainbow Six : Vegas (Single Player).

I'm all for innovation in games, but Ubisoft ruined Rainbow 6 : Lockdown with changes in game play, and it didn't work. Many of my LiVE friends bought Lockdown on the back of Rainbow 6 : Black Arrow and were extremely disappointed! I hope this new 'run for cover, shoot from behind cover' gameplay model being used in current releases doesn't deter from the actual game itself.

Either way, both titles look impressive, but you would expect so.

Interesting gameplay changes are being thrust upon us, let's hope they don't turn every new release into an amalgamation of "Splinter Cell" , "Rainbow Six : Black Arrow" and "Ghost Recon : Advanced Warfighter" as this would be a mistake in my opinion.

And DON'T force 3rd person on us gamers, please!
