it's mind boggling that it was so well received. 8s and 9s flying for the most forgettable hodgepodge.
it's ok if you don't like the planning but that was what made R6 what it was. you could just go in guns blazing and try to improvise but that wasn't what the game was about. meticulously planning an infiltration, executing it in real time, communicating and coordinating with bots, and seeing all of it work out at the end was a uniquely satisfying experience that no other game provided, and made you feel like a tactical genius.
the tactical depth of Vegas was boiled down entirely to "go here" commands. tactical shooter gameplay was better implemented by games like mass effect 1 which wasn't even primarily a shooter, let alone a tactical shooter.
