Its only a game!
No it is as the developers said, it's a re-creation Simulator

To me, It looks like Red Orchestra/Rising storm only set in the American Civil War.
Nope. Nothing like reenacting in my opinion. In reenacting you try recreate battles completely. War of Rights will be competitive, and there will be objectives, and there will most certainly be lots of people not following orders and just ramboing across the map. Its just a video game set in the Civil War. Calling it "electronic reenacting" would be like calling Napoleonic Wars reenacting, Red Orchestra 2 reenacting, and Verdun reenacting.

Objectives which are the same ones the soldiers had 150 years ago. I doubt we'll see a whole lot of people ramboing. It's simply not a viable strategy. Morale boosts of following orders, an unforgiving stamina system, no nametags in the distance and the fact that you've only got one shot will make sure of that I feel. You can't compare us to either RO2, Verdun or even ARMA due to the differences in the firing speeds. No matter how super awesome you are to aim and to hide in bushes near an enemy spawn point for instance. You will not be getting more than one shot off before the rest of the enemies will spot you (due to sound and smoke). In short, there won't be any easy kills or at the very most, only one for a lone wolf.

Oh and the spawn system! I forgot about that. You running off getting yourself killed quickly while ramboing means you get to wait a great deal of time before being able to respawn - more on that next week.

I wasn't trying to compare gameplay to Red Orchestra or Verdun, but the "essence" of the game. Taking a historical war and putting it in a video game. In that sense, Red Orchestra, Verdun, and War of Rights are very similar in the "hardcore" style and the strive to make the game match history as much as possible. I still would not call War of Rights a "reenacting" game. I'm not sure a video game can even fall into the category of reenacting...

So... one hand resting your head and another in the mouse waiting for someone to give a order to "click".
Nonethelss, I knew this game was different and I like the mechanics but now I wonder how long a match will take since the pace seem to be very, very slow. Can we expect 60+ minutes games?

I expect matches, unorganized free-play ones, to take about as long as a North and South "Battle" game mode, perhaps longer on larger maps. I'm sure there will be timer functions as well to keep the match from getting too long.

well if this poll is anything to go by the community seems to almost be split 50/50 on this. I'd personally rather have it be more of a hardcore/realistic game and not a true to life simulation.
