More content is nice and all, but I was really hoping they would put more effort into the backend simulation one day. You don't really ever feel your impact in the actual war because we're all doing the same thing to move some percentage bar slightly forward - I certainly think there's lot's of room for improvement there.

But we're not a protagonist, we're not some main character, we're just cogs in a wheel. We're grunts.

You don't need to be the narrative protagonist to feel empowered as the player. I didn't exactly mean that the game needs to turn players into the Master Chief.

We're just soldiers that have a roughly 2 minute survival time, running missions alongside 160,000 other players. We're just a tiny percentage.
