Ya I remember on one mission in Rogue spear doing a perfect run first time through because my plan played out perfectly
. Was very satisfying, most times took me 20-30 tries to get it right .Possible new tactical shooter project

There is no arguing with you so I'm not going to try.
You won't get the difference anyway, and even if you did you obviously don't care enough to be bothered and I'm wasting my time.
But yeah, light tactical shooter would be the right description. A light tactical shooter as a follow-up to a hardcore tactical shooter, but somehow that's fine by you.
I don't really care at all about what you think or say because pretty much every thing you say I find completely unagreeable, and has been that way for years.

Actually you hit the nail on the head. I do not care as much because afterall they are still games and while I certainly have been on the hardcore side in my gaming life, I'd never go as far as you appearantly did and take game changes as a personal insult.
And it's that kind of attitude that has allowed things to slip as they have.
You know that saying "all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"? Still applies.

I don't know about eating them, but depriving them of hardcore gaming goodness and lulling them with watered down "cinematic" experiences, well...
But come on, SiC. The guy didn't set out to make a hardcore tactical shooter and somehow ended up with GRAW due to sheer incompetence, and that seems to be what you're implying.
Man's gotta eat, and making hardcore tactical shooters isn't all he does and wants to do. The guy is a game designer and as a game GRAW wasn't half-bad. Halo: Reach ranks among my favorite fps games.
He says he's aware that GRAW strayed from the series roots and he says he's tired of this (now!) and wants to work on something hardcore again.
I don't know why you're so hung up on him working on GRAW, as if that somehow proved his inability to make something hardcore.
It just seems like really needless (and baseless) hostility towards something you should want to be enthusiastic about.

Oh, I'm not hostile towards the project. I would love nothing more than for him to make a real tactical shooter in the style of Rogue Spear.
I'm just skeptical for the reasons stated above.

alongside a realistic game set in vietnam (which we are probably getting), a new, authentic R6/swat4 experience is pretty much as vital to the genre as you can get, IMO.
so good.
so good.
Will it even get finished? Will it be like RO2 (not realistic, not fun)? Will there even be anyone left playing RO2 when it is done?
I am doubtful for all three. Considering how small the player base is for RO2 as it is now I do not have much hope for any mods.
I'm afraid you might be right. What motivation is there to put your blood in sweat into making something that few if any will play?
We have experience of having a complete project behind us in Mare Nostrum. Most mod teams don't normally make it to release. Also the majority of us are older guys and we have a lot of commitment to see the project through to the end.
Hopefully there will be players around to play it when we release, I raised this issue in a new year dev blog http://www.popsmokegames.com/content/new-year-and-new-challenges
So if you are still interested in In Country Vietnam we are still working hard at it and if you wish to see things done differently to RO2 drop some messgaes in our suggestion forum http://forum.incountrymod.com/viewforum.php?f=3
I just want to say I bought RO2 at release but don't play it because I simply don't enjoy it (might be time to check it out again though...), but I have high hopes for In Country and when the time comes I'm pretty sure I'll be playing it and finally be glad I bought RO2.
I can't be alone in this, so I hope the dwindling player numbers in RO2, while they are something to worry about, won't necessarily translate to In Country.
A lot of people bought RO2 and I hope that's the player base you can draw from - not just the ones that are still actively playing RO2 (provided you'll do great at marketing the mod)!
I imagine quite a few might even buy RO2 just to play a realistic Vietnam game. I know many people bought a source engine game just to play RnL, and that's ww2, normandy. It's not like there are many other choices when it comes to a realistic Vietnam game anyway.

Don't misunderstand me, if you release a mod I will play it, and I really hope you do. But as you've said, most mods don't make it to release. When you release something I'll download it.
