I hate it when people don't look at the bigger picture. The wing commander fanboy certainly didn't. If he likes the character you play as to have a personality. He certainly didn't realize that the player you play as is your personality, you you you you, you get to have you're own opinions on the gtva and the whole war. There's plenty of times i ***** about my wing men dying while i play the game, and of course instead of having an fs2 character voicing his *****iness, it's me in place of that. In fs2 you're just a fighter pilot in the gtva. The way you play and progress in the game gets you more medals and ranks...of course. And the way you play directly affects the outcome of the missions. Not some stupid oh right about now the pilot you play as needs to say some cheesy thing to his other pilots about how you're all going to make it home in one piece. Hell no, you mostly likely don't care about you're other pilots, or you rescue them, or you let them be self sufficient. I mean if a pilot you command says were going to make it home, i bet in your mind you're like nooooOOOOOOO. It's sort of like gordon freeman, in the game they sort of script him as a silent guy in number 2 which i wish they didn't. It's just one way of you interacting in the game better by not putting words in your mouth as you play, you get to say whatever you want and play how you want. And you're own opinion and personality really does affect the outcome of your pilots. It's about how well you cover them and what orders you give to them that communicates you into the game, like if you're a sloppy handler or a tight ass about commanding your fighters.
