Like I said before, I don't really pay attention to the text; just the levels, number of participants, and time remaining to join. I'm sure most long term players do the same.

If the game was more involved to the point where your mission objective gave a result other than win or loose or if there was an alternative to the vs. mission structure then there would be more variety in the mission briefs but there isn't so there's not. Whataya gonna do?
Thats right, its WHO'S in the mission thats more important eh Sub?Subsonika wrote:TBH I never ever read the text unless its a tourny

That's the thing- it's a war. There's HUNDREDS of scnearios you can make up that don't require further programing, just a way with words.

Tammuz wrote:one option to remedy that would be to have the names in the missions appear randomly from the bots/teams of that missions levels, rather like the motto thing.
