I'm another 'surprised when logging in on Monday morning' guy. So many posts in so short a time! The near-future setting is certainly a bit of a shock, too! The screenshots look great, and it will almost certainly sell well if it brings the series up to date, regardless of setting, but, alas, it is not for me. I can't muster up any enthusiasm for the subject matter, and I know virtually nothing about, and have very little interest in, modern arms, armour or warfare - let alone a fictional 'near-future' conflict.
I'm obviously in a different camp to many of you who play games for the tactical and strategic challenges, regardless of setting. Personally, I have passed on many games that are apparently excellent, because the setting doesn't appeal. But if they are Napoleonic or WWII, I'll probably give them a shot.
Actually, not having another brilliant game from BFC for a time will probably be a good thing, as the others have kept me glued to my PC for far too many late nights / early mornings already! Anyway, I hope the game does well (and I believe it will) and have just one question.... when can we expect to see the WWII game?
