I agree with both of you guys...i can also see many games (and yes, in for ex. COD its best seen...) that are turning into mass fun and are melting together, forgetting what is typical for each of them... (and when i mentioned COD, i mean that 1st title was sooo good and its story was like a drop in war sea and now it goes into hollywood armageddon story when again and again save world and kill 2x more enemies that in the last game...i still like it, but if it goes this way...) and same it could be here...But dont forget, that AS was only a "datadisc" focused on multiplayer and wanted to draw bigger attention...which happend i think... And yes, i also dont want to see it going into COH...but on the other side, such nice a hard-to-make game is worth a bit more money then it gets...imagine most AAA titles being simple like hell with tones of scripted scenes and they earn milions - in comparison with this precessive game its not fair...so a bit more advertisement could help i think. And yes, i would be pleased not to see this game changed for newbies, but it can be simple : Just make the game its fans love and make more advertisement - and if newbies buy it and want some radical changes, just ignore them and listen the majority of its core fans...and in case of multiplayer, there should be better stats for players and there you can see whom to let play your game and whom to kick if you are looking for good players and a challenge (as me). But yes, if are guys in 1C happy with what they got, its no problem
But as a fan i would liiiiiike to see some smaaal demo...
