DIY Unit Design

Why has no one tried to recapture the magic of Metal Fatigue? Yes, I know there are other games where you can partially design your own units (Warzone, KKND, or for turn-based games SMAC). But Metal Fatigue just hits different. Sure, it was mostly because of the animations and sound, but imagine th...
