ORIGINAL: mudrock remarkably the classic seems to run smoother with fewer anomalies, like armor being able to follow a simple road / path (for the life of me I don't understand this problem, I never had a PFC not be able to follow a road). armor pointing and shooting in the same direction, armor shooting on command, armor hull forward / gun forward when defending or ambushing in the same direction, soldiers moving or running smoothly (current version is very stop action). Where is the throw grenades command? wasn’t there a throw grenade command? Rookie / veteran switch is missed as the AI is still not much of a great challenge to basic "fire and move" unless turned all the way up. Also I liked the "follow orders" switch, which allowed me to establish the degree of obedience the soldiers had. I personally think your AI algorithm is way off. Marines do what they are told while on patrol, unless under the most withering direct fire, and even then you have someone who will get up and move if you scream at them. I am amazed there are no operations or campaigns in single player mode, why not? Iraq war, Afgan operations, Iran? Lots of interesting scenarios to choose from. (I guess i could be social and get my tail waxed on line by some kid with too much time on his hands). Also, why not identify my victory locations? Reality is, unless you’re on the defensive, military leadership always tells you the objective - rarely is it to kill /destroy everything in sight (unless your on defense). The armor is way too thin-skinned by the way - on both sides of the ball. RPGs / LAW's don't take out most modern day armor. Blow a track, blind a gunner or driver or disable a motor - but not taking it out. The Stryker is way too fragile in the game play. I'm glad i read this...thanks! I was willing to look beyond the GC issue and figured i'd enjoy some good 'ol CC. No GC. no German Armor...ok...no experience/orders input on top of the AI issues just killed it for me . That and the fact that this era/theater will only have a couple tanks unlike WW2...i have removed it once again from my cart.
