Genre: Shooter
Publisher: Codemasters
Developer: Blue Omega
Release Date: Q4 2008

Once Halo hit, the idea of a regenerating health bar instead of the Doom-style medpaks took over, and Gears of War popularized cover movement and squad tactics that had normally been the dominion of super-realistic titles like Rainbow Six. Damnation is pretty clearly a post-Gears of War
