Default My criticism about this game

I like this game, but only as a fan
If someone have no experience of this series, going to buy this game, I will not recommend that
this game can have much more potential than this

here is serveral flaws of this game - trivial to critical

Sniper rifle have pinpoint accuracy when fully aimed, they can put a bullet in 1nm square, you can eleminate whole squad in trench with single sniper,

just like old FOW did

Nasty HMG puts this game total despair
this thing should't be exist except special encounter like river boat event
but now there HMG everyehere. If you can access to HMG, games over, all you need is 2 crew of HMG
I think even delta force can't stand with it.
and how HMG gunner can hear gunsound before bullet arrives?
is rifle bullet slower than 340m/s?

Re-skinned WW2 weaponary
why there is no any remote control bombs?
or it's techincal problem? impossible make it with GEM engine?
yeah, remote bomb appear in Ho Chi Minh route mission but only work when in 23mm inventory
and I have complain with claymore too
as all knows, claymore is directional and have demonic killing power
but in this game, it's like re-skinned WW2 AP mines, nothing diffrent
only decent 1968 weapon is M79 and general assult rifles

Failed to utilize Vietnam stuff
helicopters appear this game, but player can't do much with it.
heli in this game is nothing diffrent from Mustang air support, except it can hovering in air
and moving motion is poor too.
why there is no mission having controlable heli within?
2 altitude cotrol key and directional control with left and right moving front and backward, It's like hovering tank
or more easier way, just put radio operator like AS style will be work
current air support uses common point, sometimes I confuse I am playing 1944 germany campaign because it's really hard to call air support

booby trap is just triggered instant dead zone, have no variety and annoying, current booby traps only function is restrict player's movement
there is lot more fun stuff than instant dead zone
tripwire, rigged gun, booby-trapped weapon stash etc
and adding pointman have mine detector or bino or just having special field of view and detected traps can disabled with any soldiers
I think this is what called COOP

and traditional worse voice acting
games having first impression, voice acting is huge part of that

It can be a great game, but i feel disappointment at this time
jungle maps and small group campaign like SHOWW are nice. but failed at system and gameplay.


ah one more thing, special edition multiplayer mode is terrible.
I stunned because I saw group of infantry are boarding APC
1 man open door, get inside, close door - 1 man open door, get inside, close door - 1 man open door, get inside, close door..forever

and if projectile have any penetrate power, hit tanks main gun at any direction, it will wreck main gun
typical problem old engine have
