I really need to pick up RT.  Wish the demo would come out already. 

But that is not why I am here.   ;D  Enjoy!

Nice. Are they still doing a Shock Force reboot?

Nice video but I didn't notice any peaks in it.  ;)

I wonder if the Black Sea setting is going to make for a better balanced game.  With Shock Force, the consensus was that the US/NATO equipment too heavily outclassed the Syrian/Russia gear for evenly matched games.

I found shock force to be extremely challenging. In order for me to succeed with acceptable casualties, I had to move across the map with extreme caution.

Agree.  I only won one campaign (Stock). I tried Marines, Canadians and I lost so much people I cannot finish the campaign.

Interesting.  I never played SF that much but I recall people on the forums always saying that the only strategy for the Syrians/Russians when going against NATO was to fight a withdrawing action. 

I do hope SF gets the 3.0 refit with QBs at some point.  I would like to revisit it again.

Indeed, this is akin to manna from heaven. I have been eagerly waiting for Battlefront to return to the modern era. It's a game I'd eagerly throw inappropriate and premature funds at.

One would think they would have found some way to include helicopters by now, modern warfare without helicopters is like WWII warfare without tanks!:o

There are helicopters = air support.
No air transport.  The map is so small to make it worth while.

The demo will only confirm why you need the full game. So, save yourself the time and buy RT RIGHT NOW!

Maps have gotten larger sense the days of Shock Force.
