* AdvertisedExtra: The Legion system. When the initial trailers for the game were revealed, the Legion system was presented as ''the'' main selling point of the game, boasting that it would allow players to battle up to 10.000 enemies at once in absolutely massive arenas. However, putting this claim into practice proved to be both impractical from a gameplay perspective and infeasible with what the Serious Engine 4 is capable of. While the Legion system is still present in the final game, it is relegated to the brief Tunguska Offensive sequence in the prologue and in the final level, with most of the enemies and allies present being just an illusion for the spectacle.[[note]]To elaborate, most of the enemies and allied soldiers that are visible to the player are merely sprites moving on a preset path. There's no actual AI attached to them, since such a ludicrous amount of characters being active at once would melt any computer. Only those in a close radius around the player have proper models and AI loaded in, meaning the player actually fights at most 100 enemies simultaneously.[[/note]]
