An indiscreet question ...

Yeah, I've noticed all the negative comments concerning time frame, hypothetical war, poor graphics and sound myself. Especially telling is how much more predominate those comments are than those that support the game play, asymmetric command cycle, range of equipment and the scenario base.

It's all very telling.

Good Hunting.

Well the most important thing is that the core game is standing on solid ground. A simple depiction of modern combat.

Furthermore, I would say that the true Achilles heel of the game is the lack of immersion. Frankly, it is not a very pretty game. There aren't much to the graphics, and the sounds are barely functioning.

I totally disagree here. I think the game has great immersion and I also think it is pretty enough for what it is simulating. For me it is like a watching a movie that I created by issuing orders to my forces. I really feel like a brigade/battalion commander and almost pray for my orders to work out as expected - of course they rarely do.

I spend a lot of time at the beginning of a scenario studying the map, which I think is perfectly functional. Then I come up with a plan and deploy my units accordingly. During the actual game the number of interactions is limited, I just watch the scenario unfold and I am totally down there with my virtual combat units.

Bingo.

I yell at my guys. I cheer when they make great kills. I cuss when they don't. I admire the platoon that takes out two companies of T-80s, stopping the onslaught, before the numbers finally wipe them out.

I personally really like the maps and the total immersion feeling I have while playing.
I literally feel like I'm on the battlefield.

Will wear a helmet, just in case. [:'(]

BTW, I agree that Arab-Israeli Wars (1956-1973) would be an awesome expansion for this game.

I love WWII, but it's been beatin' to death in PC war games..... [&:]
