They are big boys and girls and I for one would like to see detailed and reasonable answers to why certain decisions were made in the development of the game. Constructive critisism can only help to make this game better. Now, As I said, lets not attack them just because they are the more presentable face of a vast and godless corporation but lets also not pretend they were making the worlds greatest and most hardcore world war two simulator before the evil suits dropped in to say 'Hey, this isnt what the kids want! where's the phat lewt at?'

Completely agree.

I've got a bad feeling about this, to quote Harrison Ford

So, still no preview copy Neal? I'm a firm believer of the old adage "Actions speak louder than words"...
