"Direct Fire Control – Not only can the player's tactical and strategic decisions influence the battle, but players also directly control units on the battlefield. Players will aim, fire, and maneuver in real-time to capitalize on the changing battle conditions"

Is it just me, or does that not sound like its moving more toward "hop in the tank or run around the battlefield like your playing a WW2 mod of Crysis"? That really sounds overly ambitious as few games to date have done overarching rts with first person play all that well. Plus I just would hate to see CoH turned into MoH or any other FPS.

TBH, that sounds pretty bad.:hmm:

I think they mean fire control like in Faces of war or Soldiers: heroes of WW 2

Never played either one of those - mind enlightening me to how that works? Its really worded with the "aim, fire and manuever" part that makes me think your somehow "inhabiting" the tank/soldier - making it into a fps. I would love to be wrong - CoH is one of my favorite games.

well in faces of war you would hold in a button (Ctrl i belive) and then you moved the mouse around to aim
