I resent the citation because the combat systems in tactical RPGs work so well due to how the game is structured, I.E missions.
Only Silent Storm is mission-based. Not that it matters because it's still RPG and deserves citation when the subject of best combat system is at hand.
Jagged Alliance 2 has open-world exploration, contiguous world, dungeon crawls, lots of quest-based structure, reactive dialogue, companion-based reactivity, lore, the lot.
Just because it's tactical turn-based combat is unequaled, you seem to think it's an unfair citation, and therefore resent it.
But it's a towering monolith of a game in general. It hurts you and others because everything's in its shadow.
Collective 'Dex rates JA2 in its top 100 or whatever it is, and I rate it numero uno on my blog. If there is an elite RPG in this genre we talk about, JA2 is it.
