Believe it or not Clancy is still consulted on games with his name on it. He Oked the story line for SC and such. As far as RvS goes, it is still based on a book named R6 and the characters haven't really changed from RS to RvS. What did change is now there are slo-mo death animation (it's nothing but a blur as you are playing,) "ragdoll" phsyics with dead bent over backwards with their head between their feet and the crotch pointing skyward (not realistic if ya ask me,) the bobbing up and down as you walk (makes me nauseous) and worst of all a first person weapons view. Some people like the FPWV, but that is one of the things I liked about the R6/RS series. It was not there. Yes, I know it is an option that can be turned off and on, but having it makes it just like all other UT/CS/HL clones. If you play MP and cannot host for some reason you will be forced to see it by others as most servers have force WV enabled. I am not the only old school R6/RS player who feels like this. I don't think Clancy had much to do with that part of RvS. That was all Ubi IMO.
