If it has the same "play area" #%&*$# as the last one (and RO2) where it kills you when the objective changes locations then it can go **** itself. They ruined a good series by making it too quake like. For what? they didnt have increased sales over RO1 and their player retention dropped even faster. There are more people playing RO1 than RO2.

I'll keep an eye on it. Some of the battles in RO2 where among the best fun I've ever had in a MP shooter.

RO2 was better than RO1 but it lost some of the features that made the original enjoyable. Both were good but not amazing IMO (had fun playing both plenty). Hopefully with some minor improvements this one will be a winner, the last time I got to talk like Forrest Gump saying "Char-lay!" and "I got shot in the but-tocks" was when that Bad Company 2 expansion was popular.

For me, RO2's big miss was the screwing around with the tank combat. I really liked it in RO1, but I don't like big MP matches on public servers, I preferred coop with a couple of people vs AI and RO2 dropped the ball.

Oh, and there was the "bot running with MG in one hand and pointing at the ground, but firing at you and hitting you" crap.

RO2 was definitely one of my top 5 regretted game purchases.

You haven't bought enough games yet then, RO2 has some flaws but it wasn't ET for the Atari biggrin

RO2 was a huge mistake purchase for me too (preordered it based on RO1) and then I got conned into buying Rising Storm but it turns out it has the same issues as RO2 did. No way I am going to buy RS2 Vietnam unless thing have changed (which I doubt).

No joke--I spent a lot more hours playing ET on my 2600 30 years ago than I did RO2. By at least a factor of 2.

The stats bonuses were so incremental as to be pointless. Not too worried myself. More interested in them opening up the maps and slowing down the gameplay to more realistic speeds.

This and that new Ghost Recon game (and new Arma3 island) sort of got me thinking, what I'd really, really like is a remake of SEAL Team (or spiritual successor or whatever) following exactly the same structure and much of the same gameplay (although I'd like it to be an FPS and to aim and fire my weapon myself). The Far Cry engine would be good for this.
