Thanks a bunch. Looks good from PC perspective!

How different are the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game? They share the basic story framework but with the PC version we tried to make it a lot more tactical, it's a lot more detailed in how you command your troops and how you command your support forces. Also in terms of the first-person view, it's obviously a lot more user-friendly for a PC player. Basically you've got what's called body awareness, so if you're in a cover position behind a wall you can actually see your feet, because in a real military situation if you put your foot out from behind a cover position a sniper will shoot your foot. So the idea is with body awareness when you're sliding you can actually see it even when you're playing in a first-person view.

Have you used different development teams for each version? It's a completely different team working on the PC version, there is some linkage in terms of story, content, models - we always exchange information. Basically they're a PC game for PC players, they're not just making a port by any means, and that's the same with the Xbox 360; the Xbox 360 version is specific to maximising the power of the Xbox 360. We decided to make this decision because we wanted to give each platform it's own personal flavour and maximise it's potential on each platform and give each player something different.
