I've really been enjoying the increased frequency of the reviews on the site recently, please keep it up! I know written reviews are a bit antiquated at this point but I think ultimately they still have a very legitimate place in the larger conversation surrounding a game.
While it may be kind of a nitpick there are some pretty blatantly inaccurate things going on in the first 2 minutes of the intro. The members of the strike team going after the gas are supposed to be Marine Raiders, yet all of their ranks are completely inconsistent with that. To qualify for the Raiders you have to be a Cpl at minimum, and after the extensive training is completed you will almost certainly be a Sgt. The idea that a Pvt would be in the Raiders is laughable, you really don't see that rank outside of bootcamp and your very first MOS school in the Marines. Maybe he got NJP'd and busted down in rank but he wouldnt be on a mission like that if he was. They also have a SPC on the team which is an Army rank and completely inaccurate. It would take maybe five minutes of research to figure this out and really makes me question who was in charge of making sure things were accurate and consistent in the story. This just reads as incredibly lazy. Basically they should all be Sgts and above being lead by a Capt.
