@@Toastoffire100 Still it's a very interesting perspective to hear the actual vision behind the scenes, though I'd welcome more info on the development of the game from his perspective.

This is so interesting. I remember my dad buying this game for us when it was advertised on the back of a PC Gamer magazine. Due to the development, I now know why it had such a lack of polish and reuse of areas. Still, this type of storyline and mechanics have serious potential. Good on Aaron for trying to make his vision happen. Well done, man!

I played this game a few years back. Even though it was an older game the fact of how many moving objects (enemies/allies) on a very big map, held up to modern games and surpase them even with the AI being able to do something othen than to stay in cover. Yes there were some balancing issues however I did not feel like it. I did notice some irregularities in the story and it did feel very rushed. I'm glad you shared this video about it. Even tho it was a glorified tech demo prequel it still was enjoyable to play, offered variety, maps didn't feel copy-pasted and the story was interesting, as you said, time travel has not been utilized enough. I do wish to see this series re-booted properly. It just flows with untapped potential and unique and entertaining gameplay.

Came here from the other video on this game. Mostly because.. I wanted to know what the heck the blue glowing guys are?? [ETA this video talks about it at about 9:40, thank GAWD] I’m only about half way through this one but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t mentioned in the other. My guess is those are people who need to survive for history? Like your video!
@Toastoffire100

Yeah, the idea behind the mechanic is that not everyone that went to war died. If you kill a normal guy, it's fine because they would've died anyway without your intervention. But if you kill a blue guy, they wouldn't have died without your intervention, and their death will change the cours of history somewhat. To prevent the butterfly effect or whatever, your agency now has to send in other time travellers to save THOSE guys. IMO it's a neat way to account for how disruptive it would be to kill people while time travelling.
