Comments

The campaign consists of mostly standard type missions. Not bad, but not really good either. At times the abundant typos and ambiguous wordings make the de/briefings and messages simply impossible to understand. The missions are fairly well balanced all around, though.
The download is not VP packed, only zipped, which means you will have to copy the contents to the appropriate folder.
