Oh well. I'm still very glad they made the change.

I also hope they ignore the very vocal minority and keep it the way it is. There's nothing wrong with the new system except some of the old PS1 vets won't get their fix of nostalgia.

Blizzard had more respect for the Starcraft 1 vets, and I'm not sure PS2 will make better than SC2 in terms of success.

I'll be more specific, and then it's your turn ok ?

A majority of the SC2's elite were the majority of the SC1's elite. I don't think it's going to be the case for PS2. At all !

Completely agree, and I played PS1 for many years. I HATED the MBT system.

It's just a handful of hypothetical theorists who can't see the forest for the trees.

There aint gonna be a MBT if the driver can gun, it will just be a glorified Lightening.

Heh, at least not while having to drive and gun they can't

Honestly, develop your spatial awareness instead of demanding game system changes.

Bullshit. There are pages and pages of reasons why this isn't the case. YOU just refuse to realize it.

Changes like this are just straight up more fun
This only confirms that the driver will control the main cannon, it says nothing about having an optional cert to change that.

A moving tank wont be firing behind them anyway. A good tank driver will be firing in the direction he is moving. Let the secondary gunner handle the other directions.

Only time a main gun should be pointed away form the nose of the tank is when he's stopped somewhere to shell enemy fortifications or other target, away from the enemy line.

Why do you think this is the case? No ability is being taken away from you as a driver. How can something that's fun + a gun be less fun than before? Are you saying you're unwilling to learn to drive and gun at the same time? It's not that hard.

Son *puts hand on shoulder* once you've been around long enough you notice how things get balanced in games.

Considering the fact that PS1 was unique, if PS2 lose all the good points that had PS1 only to become a random FPS with big vehicles/guns/graphics, it's like restarting from zero.

This tank feature from PS1 was actually one of those which made me play it. I dunno what type of vehicles you were driving, but maybe you should make your way on another one and stop rejecting what made games better.
