The control can be inverted in the options, takes about 5 seconds to do.

Can be toggled on or off at your own preference in the options, again, takes about 5 seconds. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Good to know that they are options and not always like that.

Well, the previous console games worked the same way and they were still a success on console. While its not what a PC fan expects and wants, it obviously worked for the console. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That is something I am unfamiliar with and as you noted, we PC fans do want more than just point and click. Don't get me wrong, it would be a great addition to compliment the running of the mission once it has actually started should things change afterwards. Still, for the PC it should not replace the mission planning stage.

Hopefully Yves Guillemot has a good sense of humor as invariably, it was his dime that I was in Germany on. I guess, most of Ubi has an idea of who I am by now. I guess that comes with the territory of being outspoken. The collective groan (or was it a sigh, hard to say) from everyone said a lot. Everyone there understood where I was coming from and why my opinions are what they are. I don't think any of them blamed me for my observations and all seemed genuinely relieved that I wasn't as big of an **** that some make me out to be.

Not my place to promise, but I dont see why. I can always try to arrange it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I'll see about getting some questions around and getting approval then.
