[QUOTE]Watched a buddy play it a solid week when it was new. But the game needed work like all games seem to need work, and he wandered off back to EQ (kinda hard to stay away from a game where you have several 65th level characters I guess).

Ya me to, first month I played it solid and then it was just old. It doesnt really offer a whole depth of things to do. It is a pure FPS battle simuolator. I cant blame him for picking the RPG EQ over that.
Yes the Vietnam should be good. I just hope they strive for accuracy, if they dont and just go for general FPS playability I will not buy that game. I am puting Massive Assault on my Christmas list, i've heard way to many good things about that game to pass it up!
[QUOTE]Perhaps there just wasn't much "modern" stuff out there for Matrix to pick up ? WW2 has always been the big seller anyway, which explains the bias in that direction. I'd like more modern stuff too though, particularly something with real "construction kit" potential.

I dont know, considering board games, PC games, literature, films, et al... when the WWII generation dies off in the next decade or so I think there will be a sudden explosion of popular demands for all of the modes I listed above and then like a supernova it will crumbel into dust. I definatley think were already seeing some malaise of interest for that generation. I know the Band of Brothers and Greatest Generation phenomonan will keep gamers and the general public interrested its all gonna start to fade away until they all dissappear, then the big bang then gone again.
Also, I think if Matrix published a game about the Crusades in Medieval Europe i'd buy that.
