1 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? 1 @Orfelius, I didn't mean to imply that ZK is not distinguishable.

3 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!!". 3 Also regarding wanting to play an RTS...well I'll play whatever as long as it's engaging and fun.

5 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... 5 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.
