Throw out the rules of engagement, this is

Battlefield: Bad Company
Built from the ground-up for next-generation consoles using Digital
Illusions' bleeding-edge Frostbite game engine, Battlefield: Bad
Company drops gamers behind enemy lines with a squad of renegade
soldiers who risk it all on a personal quest for gold and revenge.
Featuring a deep, cinematic single-player experience loaded with
adventure and dark humor, the game delivers the series' trademark
sandbox gameplay in a universe where nearly everything is destructible.
"The heart of DICE's multiplayer games is the frenetic,
unpredictable nature of the sandbox experience, where anything could
happen at any moment, and that's what we're bringing to the core of
Battlefield: Bad Company's single-player campaign, said Karl Magnus
Troedsson, senior producer at DICE. "In a world that's 90 percent
destructible, the gameplay possibilities are infinite “ the battlefield
is always changing, forcing players, teammates, and enemies to react
accordingly. Gamers will have total freedom to adapt to and tackle
challenges in creative Battlefield-style ways."
Battlefield: Bad Company also will feature a full suite of the
franchise's trademark multiplayer options with deep gameplay modes
designed to take full advantage of the game's massively destructible
environments.
Developed by Sweden-based developer Digital Illusions, Battlefield:
Bad Company is slated to ship for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in
2007. For more information about the Battlefield franchise, please
