I am more than willing to to be patience and wait to see where this goes. In that this is Hi Tech's game and livelyhood it is in his best interest to try and present us with a product that will keep us happy and from time to time changes and updates are necessary,I get it. I can recall this same out cry over the years when new changes were tried and implemented. The sky is falling, the game is going to hell, I'll quit forever...etc etc. Give the man time to do his work.
On a personal note I do not like the current concept, it reeks of Aladdins Castle, not all of us are "Looking for the fight". Not all of us are interested in a perpetual furball. If this game were no more than a fighter furball I would have been gone years ago. Also if I have no squaddies on I am often the Lone Wolf, some times due to time constraints or because what ever is going on on the map at that time does not appeal to me I will invent my own mission. My point here is simply this. Trying to force me to play your fighter game will cause me in the short term to log and in the long term to just lose interest and leave. This full map radar impedes mission planning, NOE raids and the element of surprise IMO, particularly for small squads. Coordinating with other squads for numbers is akin to herding cats and is more trouble than it is worth.
As I said I am willing to be patient with this test but I do hope that this is not our new direction
My 2 cents worth.
