I can only hope that they improve the graphics without going fruity and non-functional, and that they do not carry over all the combat options from Fallout Tactics, as most were not really all that interesting. Although I did like the multilevel stuff, and the ducking. I forget what the ones I didn't like where, but I remember the battles being unecessarily complex.


Tactics added the sentry options and the stance changes (including going prone), which doesn't seem like option overload to me. Keeping the option to switch to real time or god forbid force you to remain in it would be pointless, as it would be infinitely boring with one character. But they do need to keep Tactic's large array of support weapons and the slimmed down appearace of the fusion/laser guns.

Most of all, these squad level tactical games that use the 3/4 perspective need some sort of motherfucking LOS indictactor. Just a line that's drawn from your character to your target so if your shot is obstructed, you can FUCKING TELL WHAT'S OBSTRUCTING IT and maneuver accordingly. I've been sick of that shit since X-com.

Also, if only to infuriate Barbie, plz add NUKULAR BAZOOKA.
