Looks very interesting, but no one is making any fuss about it except the makers themselves. They say it will be the first game of the new genre which combines rts and fps, which in itself feels like a false statement. Still the game looks interesting. Any thoughts? http://www.gamespot.com/video/928209/6166881/field-ops-official-trailer-2

And while I'm on it, does anyone remember what other games used this blend? I know there was some Egyptian RTS that allowed you to take control of heroes in 3rd person mode, but I'm sure there's more.

It might be the first single-player FPS/RTS hybrid (I can't think of any others at least), but the Natural Selection multiplayer mod for Half-Life has been around for almost 5 years now. It takes a much more traditional RTS approach incorporating resource gathering and base building, with the FPS element. There's also Savage. Again, its another multiplayer-only game, and there are some instances where you play from a third-person perspective, but a lot of your time can be spent in first-person. And again, it has base building and resource gathering.
