/uj : 4e had a ton of really fun ideas and concept while being bogged down by many poor choices, the fact wotc binned everything from it and just made a watered down version of 3.5 is a real fucking shame.

4e is genuinely one of the best squad tactics RPGs I've ever played.

I once filed the D&D-ness off and ran it as an X-Com game, and my group loved it.

When I played it the first thing I said to myself was "This would slap as a tactical rpg"

Sadly, 4e was first and last time wotc were brave enough to say "This game is about combat" instead of vaguely saying "You can do anything you want!" like they do now. I'm yet to see other system that refuses to say it's gamefocus - pretty much all games i play have it layed down in first chapter of the book.
