i can actually get why it didn't do so well for the competition. squirrely interface, really lousy weapon mechanics, and the collision detection is way off.
suggestions: weapon info on mission prep screen. it'd be nice to be able to tailor such things as ammo, damage, etc, and pick what you think would be great for the job before you start.
