Talk:Cover system

Really?
Does this REALLY warrant an article? It's not even industry standard, and most of it is written as if someone outside the industry were examining it and came up with an uneducated conclusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.4.28 (talk) 05:02, 20 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Like to also add that the article is heavily bulked up by irrelevant references to assorted game titles, to the detriment of the article's quality 115.70.109.186 (talk) 14:03, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

This article seems pretty good to me, aside from any lack of criticism in the Reception area. I see no problems with it otherwise. 72.192.119.52 (talk) 18:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

De-emphasizes combat
I don't think the author knows what direct confrontation means since whether one unit attacks another from front or flank the two units are in direct confrontation.

I am acquainted with many cover using games and apart from a few dedicated sneak and stealth games, which use cover very differently to most games, none of them de-emphasise combat, the cover only exists to reduce damage or heal. The section is unsubstantiated and the only reference in it is about two sentences long one of which says "so there's [sic] a lot of point rewards for getting out and getting in the faces of your enemy" which is the opposite of de-emphasizing combat.
