I just dont think the MoW engine works for modern combat, solely due to the ranges at which engagements can take place. It was already silly at times with MoW, but now we've got modern MBT's engaging each other at 100 meters?

Its not a slight against the devs and the effort put into it, but it just seems fundamentally impossible. Infantry and stuff, sure. But tanks and ATGM's? Not going to work.

The demo/gameplay vids I've seen had tanks etc limited by normal LoS stuff, ala MoW and engaging at super close ranges. If they can indeed make it so you can see without having the game refuse to let you because its past your gun's "max range", that'd be cool. If thats the case, and the scenarios were just limited by stuff to force close-quarters fighting then I take back what I said, possibly.

This engine would be cool for a SWAT-esque game really. Wonder if any mods have explored that concept.

Watched a friend stream some gameplay today, and it honestly looks better than I gave it credit for. They oddly dont have tanks in yet, which sucks, but the rest of it seems decent.

Also, campaign only available in the Deluxe Edition is pretty retarded. Its beta access to the Campaign I suppose, since its going to be included with the actual game but yeah.
