Not sure!

Also, we are going to try upping the text size in the articles, we've had a few complaints about it being a little small.

to come back on the main character challenge, I personaly believe (=IMO ) that the combination of the past experiences we, as players, already had with our squadmates in both previous titles, will/should be determining keyfactors (eh???? )

To make it a little easier;

The right use of the bro-mo's (eg. the one where the trooper gets hit and he gets picked up, with the dramatic voice and the slow motion effect is absolutely brilliant. The player can feel that his squadmates are important to him and that he want's to get them through the mission alive somehow.

Then, with the historical settings already 'defined', I also believe that the experience, the so-called veterancy, that our guys have now since the Normandy operations, should also be reflected throughout some of their actions and speeches.

I hope my thread makes some sence, the more I read it over the less clear it gets ;(
