I don't believe in rewarding poor programming. Or is it criminal programming?
I don't think BF is malicious in their intent, and really was striving to innovate. But the resources they have are limited and they bit off more than they could chew. They were looking for realism, and in that effort they made it unplayable.
Outside of the non-cerebral fanboy elements, and the people symbiotically tied to BF through playtesting etc, this game has gone over like a lead balloon. It leads me to suspect that one of the only real attributes of the game is that you can use current military equipment, and thus has an allure to those who are involved or attached to it in some way.
Posting this on the battlefront forums would evoke a surge of "destroy the unpatriotic" attacks based on the almost as senseless rhetoric of a certain government that exists in North America, not to name any names.
It is unfortunate that BF has been reduced, as the CM games were truly marvelous breakthoughs.
Cheers!
