Review Battlefield

For what its worth, i think it might be nice to be able to have a look at the final disposition of forces and flags held in online games before the objectives completed sign freezes your view and dumps you to the casualties screen. No chance to admire your triumph or wallow in defeat currently.

Another feature from Steel panthers that made for some interesting games were objective flags which generated victory points for the side who held them each turn. I know points are not tallied in Battlefield Academy but having a different kind of battle where the victor is decided by who holds the flags for longest rather than at the final turn might be cool. I know its not really historical and may not be everyones cup of tea, but it can force the pace in online games and pressure players to mount offensives earlier rather than at the end.

I like the points idea - it's something that could easily be scripted in. You could even get given reinforcements as you accumulate points - making it even more imperative for the opponent to get in there and take the VPs away from you!

Cheers
