    What if the game is selling like hotcakes though?

    -dale

    That's just it, dalem. The fanbase has been shifted from guys like us, to kids like "Angryson" (see his responses in the Uncanny Valley thread, then look at his profile). Like Steve, there's no reason to have anger, just sudden realization that the business model has changed, and so has the design philosophy.

    You asked why there are no more "grog" discussions on the forum. They're not the target anymore. The solo players who don't expect much from the AI and don't interact with others are the target. </font>

    I love the level of realism.

    Like a squad partly-milling about in the street when they should be stacked at a corner?

    Like a MG firing at the grid corner of a house instead of walking fire across the face?

    Like shooting through walls?

    Like a clump of T-72's just sitting around waiting to be plinked by M1's?

    Read MD's original post - it is so well constructed one could call it erudite. </font>

    Strykers...and Why I thank god I am not Stryker Infantry

    I know the basis of the American Forces is the Stryker, but I have put together a list of units, and vehicles for another release that I hope are included.

    The up armored Humvee, with a 50. Cal and 49mm Mk. 19

    Bradley Fighting Vehicle, added to all Mech US Army units

    Regular Infantry units, with either a mix of M4s to M16s.

    National Guard units, with M-60 support, and or 240G.

    Airborne units (Ar Assault)

    and If the engine can support it, other Helicopters, such as Blackhawks, Chinooks, and the Kiowa (actaully showing if you zoom out).

    I don't like Strykers... heh

    What do you guys think about those units?

    Do you even own this game?

    Almost all the stuff you asked for is already in-game.

    If you want lightfighters just delete the Strykers from the MTOE in the editor.

    The OMG how cool is that thread

    The first time I used the M2, I still really get a kick out of watching a SQD dismount and assault a building.

    -I really said wow when I noticed the TOW tubes were empty after a launch.

    -The feed try cover on the M240B is lifted while reloading.

    There are way more great things that I could list, but I'm short on time. I love this game AS IS, and I know BFC will only improve upon what they have done so far.
