Heck I liked SF too.......but I am a bit confussed that this US vs Russian or whatever deal. IF it where cold war I would be all over that, but hmmmm near future war thing has me going what!? Should just end 34 minutes after the fisrt shot with glowing marshmellows or something. ANd ya.....I will more than likly pick it up damnit. But Ill be grumbling..

I imagine it will be based on known military hardware. Also just as likely for a Nuke War in the near future with this conflict as during the Cold War. Infact NATO during the Cold War really relied on Tac Nukes. The Russians on conventional overwhelming firepower before anyone can react.
Remember Shock Force was near future aswell when released. hey still only used known hardware or hardware that is due out. Thats their policy. So they will go the same path. I do know they are against using weapons that haven't been made yet. As Is aid they did the same with Shock Force.
