Checkpoint Recon is a classroom level, Rules of Engagement (ROE) familiarization training game.  The game features a fictitious city that allows the player to roam freely in an Apache helicopter.  There are scripted vignettes of activity scattered throughout the city that draw the player’s attention.  These scenarios are created to represent the spectrum of encounters that an Apache crew might have to make.  Some characters behavior is obviously hostile while other times the behavior, location and objects possessed by a non-player character (NPC) require the player to exercise “tactical patience” and mark their observations.  When the player determines a hostile action or hostile intent being represented by an NPC he must follow representative ROE guidelines to register his decision to shoot or not shoot.
