Trying to identify a Japanese arcade FPS from around 2012 with a built-in camera that took your photo and displayed it on the HUD

I’m trying to identify this game for personal reasons — I played it a lot with a close friend who has since passed away, and I’d really like to know the name to remember those good times together.

I played this around 2012 at an arcade in Mexico (the machine was clearly imported from Japan). Here’s everything I remember:

I played this around 2012 at an arcade in Mexico (the machine was clearly imported from Japan). Here’s everything I remember:

The cabinet:

•	Two large linked cabinets side by side, one per player

•	Had a mounted futuristic gun/weapon controller

•	Had a built-in camera that photographed your face before the match started

•	Big screen

The gameplay:

•	First-person shooter with free movement (not on rails)

•	Futuristic military setting, urban environment

•	Your character wore sci-fi armor resembling Halo spartans — helmet and everything

•	You started each match with an animation of entering/suiting up into the armor

•	You had AI companions fighting alongside you against AI enemies

•	Grenade mechanic included

The HUD/UI:

•	Your real photo from the camera was displayed on the HUD during the match

•	Other players’ photos and names were visible above their characters

•	Had a ranking system — when on default/attract mode it showed photos and names of what appeared to be Asian men (possibly the developers as placeholder profiles)

Other details:

•	Definitely Japanese developer/publisher

•	Text in the game appeared to be Japanese

•	The intro animation showed your photo being integrated into the suit/armor before dropping into battle from some kind of platform or pod

Any help is appreciated. This means a lot to me.
