This article touches on many key points, including collision detection, control point logistics and more. However, this article is not simply another praise-fest. On the subject of what Mythic got right or wrong in RvR: "Right: always ensuring you've got something fast, satisfying and combat-centric to achieve, with none of the waiting around and grinding of... well, I won't bring up That Other Game here. Wrong: guarding capture points for a set number of seconds, or running a flag to specific spots to score points is so inescapably gamey, so artificial."

they fault the GAME for being a game?
i think WAR should be more like the real thing if your 3 feet high goblin gets attacked by a lion i think there should be an peripheral you attack to your genitalia to make it feel like a lion is gnawing of your junk please eurogamer make such a device and try it our remember lions would tear it right off so make it realistic.

Maybe it's "gamey" because it's a "game"?
The goons at eurogamer really can't find something intelligent to say on this game...

"Players have nonetheless complained that there's some imbalance, with some forming unspoken gentlemen's agreements that anyone higher than the Scenario's recommended doesn't step into it,"
Where do they come up with this stuff? I've never heard this before.

You've already got Dwarves wandering around Ulthuan in helicopter backpacks, I think any sense of realism was checked at the login screen.
