[[do not see the point of having RPG elements in a FPS or tac sim]]

Kurtz, have you ever been on a tour of duty in a combat zone? Or is your sense of realism derived through CNN, and what you hear sitting behind your puter?

You want a Tactical Simulation There giving it to you. A major part of war isn't all gung ho grab your buddy and kick there "butts". Its intel gathering, indigionas forces training. etc.

What BIS is doing is a great idea there taking it up a notch to the point where Tac Sim gamers appetites will be satisfied with out making you sit on your "butt" all day training Natives. There simply supplying that extra bit of immersion into the game, by giving you creative opportunities to gather intel, on base locations, troop movments. Thats why you can talk to civi's and interrogate opposing forces.

Its not quest related at all. Dude BIS new "game" is looking to be a fantastic game if they keep it one the road its on. The last thing Tac Sim gamers want is them steering to a more Counter Strike FPS approach that GR2 did for console.

Regards,

J

P.S. Sorry to all for surfaceing an old post, this just ticked me off.

[Military use only?]

Ok,

I'm new to this forum so please bare with me. I've know of VBS1 for a long time now, but I thought it was for Military use only? YOu fellas sound like your jsut gaming it up, you've made your own custom mods and what not? Is this correct? Can VBS1 be purchased personaly, and played with buddys? What sort of system does it need?

Thanks.
