[url=http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2012/09/29/focus-groups-said-overstrikes-style-was-something-for-their-little-brother/]Here's an article on why.[/url] You do seem a bit late to this, but I think the main reason was because they wanted to play it safe, and try to make a game that appeal to the masses. They will get most CoD junkies and other generic military gamers to buy their product, just because it looks like what they have played. I probably found out about Overstrike and its change to Fuse around 3 months back (I think). Overstrike looked amazing, but Fuse looks dull and boring.
