Good thing we have THE SLOWEST CAR IN THE FUCKING GALAXY to move around. If only the game wouldn't randomly cancel my orders it would actually be somewhat playable. But no. Whether it's a grenade or a simple "get in the car and fucking move", you don't give orders in this game, they're more like polite suggestions that your units may or may not follow. Fucking Starcraft has way better combat than this, and we're comparing a wannabe nu-Xcom-but-in-real-time-with-pause to a real strategy game. And whenever you open your actions menu you can no longer see status and ammo. WHO THE FUCK DESIGNED THIS CRAP? Holy shit, action bars have been around for decades in games like this and yet the galaxy brain devs of this game managed to fuck things up. Reloading is also a chore, one missclick and the entire squad reloads, instead of just the one guy who is low. Tactical options are both very limited and very wonky. Their effectiveness is directly tied to how fast the game decides to obey your commands this time.
Starcraft released in 1998, maybe the devs should've checked that one out.
