Hi Richard, So true. As it happens Lone Wolf doesn't even fully use 3d as much as it could because enemy submarines are on the surface along with destroyers, aircraft carriers, tankers, and other surface ships.
If Lone Wolf was a true 3d World War II submarine simulation those enemy subs would be able to attack from above, from below, ahead, behind, left, right, etc. You wouldn't be able to just dive to 100 feet and escape because they could follow you down and stick a torpedo up your tail if you didn't kill him first. Although, if memory serves me World War II subs only had a maximum attack depth of 80 feet. Still, the principle applies that if it were 3d those enemy subs wouldn't be floating on the surface like fish in a barrel. They'd have free reign to hunt you at any depth and hit you from any angle they chose. Getting back to 3d FPS though again no accessible game comes remotely close to mainstream games. Not even simple things like in Jedi Night being able to jump up to a secret area above the room and finding a few extra med kits to boost your health, or throwing your light saber up into the air to chop the sniper on a catwalk in half. These were pretty common features for FPS games in the 90's and no accessible game developer has created an FPS game that comes close to the full 3d FPS experience.
