                    | 6 | * the campaign is not what the average porcnab expects. [spoiler]Despite evolving comms being a "major" feature loved by noobs, the campaign boi has no proper progression (in the sense that you get a set of modules which is fairly random, not monotonically more powerful over time, and not customizable). No unit progression either, it keeps at low-mid density. You never get to make a Bertha or any strider, and you always have just 1 or 2 facs unlocked. The journals effectively don't exist due to hard access. It only offers a handful of text lines about each of new units introduced in each mission. It's fairly difficult to find the actual campaign UI instead of individual missions. Individual missions are mostly random unmanaged crap.[/spoiler] | 6 | * the campaign is not what the average porcnab expects.
