This from IGN http://pc.ign.com/articles/445/445865p1.html as another preview of what looks really interesting.

Looks like BattleField:1942 with a little bit better graphics...

(Snipers will be further limited in power by the fact that the game will not allow one-shot kills. A minimum of two shots will be required to take out an enemy soldier.)

This isn't right... I sure hope they change this before the game is released. A small arms headshot or any sort of heavier munitions should kill someone with one shot.

The Commander position should add an element that TacticalGamer will thoroughly enjoy!

Whoever wrote that preview was a dummy, though... Lots of errors and exaggerations...

The screenshots look pretty good but I'd like to see some higher resolution images. 800x600 sure looks good at 1280x1024...

I had originally thought this was going to be GR with mannable vehicles. That would really rock. They should include a realism setting so sniper shots are mostly one hit.

And the post says, "IGN doesn't know what they're talking about."

That will satisfy me. Bring on Soldner!

I was excited about this before, but it's looking more like just a big war. I prefer the more Spec Ops feel I thought it was going to have. I'll wait to see the response after it comes out now.

Wow, that looks awesome. The whole sniper thing sorta stinks, but with the commander and whatnot it looks like NS .. lol
I hope it doesn't require a monster to play it. Anyone know the required specs?
