                    How are grit and realism (or iron sights, for that matter) related to the core gameplay? And what do you mean by "strategic?" BC2 strategic, where "strategy" is enabled via slow player movement, dumbed-down shooting, and amorphous map design? If so, thank god some shooters are still being made that aren't "strategic."
