Video description: Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows "Swoff" (Jake Gyllenhaal), a third-generation enlistee, from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, sporting a sniper's rifle and a hundred-pound ruck on his back through Middle East deserts with no cover from intolerable heat or from Iraqi soldiers, always potentially just over the next horizon. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully fathom. Jamie Foxx portrays Sergeant Sykes, a Marine lifer who heads up Swofford's scout/sniper platoon, while Peter Sarsgaard is Swoff's friend and mentor, Troy, a die-hard member of STA-their elite Marine Unit. Chris Cooper also stars. An irreverent and true account of a war that was antiseptically packaged a decade ago, "Jarhead" is laced with dark wit, honest inquisition and episodes that are at once surreal and poignant, tragic and absurd. Directed by Sam Mendes.

Doom 3 Coop Mod Last Man Standing Coop 2.0 gameplay video

The goal of the Doom 3 Coop Mod Last Man Standing Coop is to utilize the most intriguing elements of the Classic Dooms, the Doom 3 single-player campaign, and ROE and incorporate them into a simple, fresh, and fun coop multiplayer experience. However, if multiplayer isn't your thing, our levels are fully playable single player. We have several different map types that we employ in our gametype "LMS Mod". The basic goal in KF (Killfest) maps is to kill as many monsters as you can, and remain the last marine standing at the end of a match. In Prog (Progression) players progress through the levels much like in Doom 3 single player levels. However, we have tried to add our personal touches to the maps to bring back the excitement and feel of the classic dooms. In Def (Defense) maps marines are forced to hold off a certain area, protect a VIP, and/or progress backwards, etc. With the addition of Coop to our mod, marines can partner up to increase their chances of survival. In addition to all of these features, our maps include heavy metal soundtracks to get your adrenaline levels pumping to their max! (Note the music can be turned off via the menu) The monsters keep coming, and the bullets keep flying. Let the terror begin... As a note our mod now fully supports cooperative play in the Single Player maps! The gametype is referred to as "SP Coop". Also it supports Coop for the Doom 3 expansion pack (ROE) though ROE Coop. In addition, it is multiplatform, featuring Windows, Linux, and Mac support. Music Used - Name/Artist Corruptor - Skaven Track1 - Opaque
