Yeah. Swat 2 was like Ja2-lite. Ja2 has the same squad tactics with a godlike vantage point, but has so much more. Where you only have the tactical gameplay in swat, you also have a strategic map going on where you are constantly managing incoming funds vs. expenses and training, healing, repairing, ect. Also a Huge variety of weaponry at your disposal as opposed to several very similar options for outfitting your squad. Finally it actually has personality - all the mercs behave very differently (and sometimes very hilariously) depending on factors like morale, who they are working with, ect ect.
All in all, one of the classics. In terms of squad-based tactics - an essential.

Uggggg,They made this "Plan and Go"
Why do these modern day idiot developers have issues with turn based?Thats part of what made JA and the XCom series great.Same kind of play mechanics as Brigade E5 and 7.62.

Movement points and action points are too tough to manage for todays crowd, ugh makes head hurty.. But they kept "some small details" like mercs personality..and who likes asnd dislikes to work with who...LIKES?? LIKES?? Dammit i remember having some arab merc and some european that didnt gey along, always tossing lines against eachother.. and i kept thinking, meh.. Then one night one of the mercs dissapeared from the camp..and leaved all the gear..and the arab goes..I told you i woul kill him someday.. 
Small details..yeah yeah.. Another day, another franchise destroyd by plain incompetents.

let's see it first, shall we
the xcom game is an abomination, this is more a lateral shift
different, not the same game, but not necessarily much worse for it

Yes, but dont call it JA then FFS.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

Turn-based is outdated technology don't you know??? They couldn't do real-time games back in the 90's, that's why games were turn-based. Now that we have awesome computers we can run everything with groundbreaking real-time technology and everything will be awesome.

| Quote: | | The Plan & Go system could be described as an extended “real time with pauses” system. Back in Action essentially runs in real time, but the game can be paused at any time. |
 they want to make it sound like something "smart" when it's just a normal pause button |

Release date for this steaming pile of shit is Feb. 9th in Europe through steam, not sure about the states tho (think it's the 14th there).
For anyone interested they've cut out a HUGE amount of JA2 content for reasons unknown.

Dammit, JA2 stuff made the game worth playing, especially the merc personalities and their comments. I hope they left THAT in.

Man, after looking at the video it could be MUCH worse. I don't know the old series personally, so i think it looks kinda intriguing.
