IDK if Hitech and his crew could really compete in the FPS category. Would their first attempt be better than other's first attempts? Well duh, they actually have some idea of what they're doing.
But I'm not sure if their first attempt would be the equal of some of the best FPS shooters. I mean Red Orchestra is simply amazing for that type of game.
For those of you that have played it, you'll know what I'm talking about when I say it a lot like a ground-war version of Aces High.
For another matter, the instant they add the Mp-44, its going to be THE weapon of choice. The only thing that could even kind of compete would be the BAR, the Bren, and maybe the Japanese type 99 and Russiand DP.
