In this thread: a good amount of people discovered that this is a realistic tactical shoter/sim, and not for them.

no visuals when you are getting shot?
no fast healing?
a machine gun killing infantry?
it's not obvious where you can get weapons and ammo?
complex order system?
it's hard to see the enemy?

Well, doh, of course.

  The only thing I don't like about the game is the controls/menu system. It takes moving my mousewheel thru Changing Seats, Turning off the Engine, just to get out of the Humvee. It would have been better with a hub selection system, similar to what a lot of games are using for the automated voice messages... I think BF2 had a similar system with the most commonly used selection in the middle and various others on the outer ring.
