If you want to play a game that makes you forget all about counter strike, click my signature link. New World Order is a graphically stunning game, that was plagued with too many bugs on original release and hefty system requirements at the time of release (no longer any problem now), which is why the press broke it.
The game is now one and a half years old, it is still graphically one of the best games around (which is a feat in itself), based on the DVA engine, it is very limited in interactivity (no opening or closing doors to mention something) but has particle physics for all kinds of effects (ammo, sparks (when bullets hit metal surfaces), fabulous rain effect in a particular map). Latest patch was released yesterday. The player community is very small. Disadvantage of that is: not always a populated server around, advantage: virtually no cheating and many players know each other (yes, it's that small). The demo is fully functional but is limited in the amount of maps that you can play. Another disadvantage is no mapping tool support.
If you want to buy a copy, it is going to be tough to find it, but if you're serious, let me know and I'm sure I can point you to somewhere to get it.
