- It is reasonably well written.
- a (prose):
b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
- "Cannon Fodder 3 is an action-strategy PC game developed and published - originally in Russia - by Game Factory Interactive, along with developer Burut CT." perhaps: developed and published in the Russian-based Game Factory Interactive, along with developer Burut CT (however, I don't know where the last company is located)
- a (prose):
- That sentence would actually say that the game was developed in the company, which I don't think makes sense. I believe Burut CT is based in Ukraine, but that's not mentioned in any of the sources. bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- "a popular acclaimed game released for multiple formats in 1993. " - popularly acclaimed? Suggest to remove one of the words. If you want to say that it was both commercially and critically successful, then write it.
- Done. bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- Not a requirement, but I would add in brackets the abbreviation of Game Factory Interactive, eg Game Factory Interactive (GFI) in the first sentence
- Done. bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- " though using the keyboard to deploy additional weaponry" How about "though the keyboard is used to deploy additional weaponry"?
- Done. I was keeping it in the default active voice. Changed it nevertheless. bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- What role had Burut CT in the development?
- A couple of the sources state it developed the game. Which I assume means it did the programming, design, actually making the game (with GFI doing the legalities, licensing, marketing, publishing). However, a couple of other sources said GFI did the development. So I just reported both versions. There's one source (Metro) which lists both as developers but as it's the only source that does this, and it appeared several days after I put up this article, I believe its source for that was this article xD And whichever the source, it's not any more specific than "developed the game". bridies (talk) 13:08, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
