If my memory serves me correctly, I think that I played Battlefield Vietnam ๐ป๐ณ 7 years ago and it's actually a very good first person shooting video game.
Wow, that's a long stretch but the most important thing is that you are able to speak and write it now, and I believe it makes everything easy for you.
