For those not familiar with AA:Operations, it is a free (as in beer) first person shooter developed under the watchful eye of the US Army. It received mounds of praise at this year's E3 and was released to Windows users July 4th." Well, it says Linux server port, anyhow.

The port appears to already be fully playable as there is a status report here which includes some early screenshots. (And their website doesn't require IE. :)"
