Orfelius,
I
didn't
mean
to
imply
that
ZK
is
not
distinguishable.
All
I
was
saying
is
that
an
FPS
mode
is
some
crazy
awesomesauce
that
nobody
else
has
got.
Seriously
I
can't
name
a
single
other
RTS
with
that
feature.
You're
right
that
if
I
"prefer"
FPS
mode
that
I'm
not
looking
to
play
an
RTS,
but
it's
not
like
I
want
to
play
a
whole
match
through
the
viewfinder
of
a
single
unit
or
something.
I
just
feel
it
makes
a
good,
unique
addition
to
the
full
scope
of
control
and
choices
available
in
the
game
(
top-level
planning
<----->
micromanagement)
.
If
someone
finds
it
fun
or
useful
I
fail
to
see
how
it
negatively
impacts
someone
who
doesn't,
so
why
talk
as
if
it's
something
that
needs
to
be
hidden
away
or
removed
like
unwanted
body
hair?

Also regarding wanting to play an RTS...well I'll play whatever as long as it's engaging and fun. I'm not too concerned whether it is Certified by the International Committee on Stringent Genre Definitions™. In fact removing features just to comply with a definition might result in missing out on something new and great while becoming a clone of everything else *ahem* evoRTS. Imagine Sam Raimi had said "This funny business needs to be removed from Army of Darkness! This isn't a comedy, we're trying to produce a serious horror B-movie here!!".

Anyways, I'm no fan of FPS games, in fact I had to Google this Urban Strike thing you mentioned but the way that comment was phrased has given me insight into why the FPS features might be getting bashed so harshly: people are afraid that if it's kept and/or expanded then by 2024 when ZK V6.8.8.12 is released it'll be 100% FPS, like Command & Conquer: Renegade or something. Ha ha ha - no need to worry. The only way to have that happen would be to hand it over to EA then whatever the worst possible fate for the game is would be inevitable! Like that horrendous Wing Commander movie which no amount of alcohol has been able to purge from my memories...
