I'm not a reviewer, but as a mission maker i can tell you
that if a reviewer wouldn't have tried out both variants,
he couldn't be able to give a complete review.

To play not as leader off course only makes sense, if AI
leader is supported by the map maker (wayopints).

Not rarely, people makin missions, where even several scripts,
variables or other stuff ("_x moveincargo xxx" foreach units group), won't work, when disabling certain units in player
selection menu.

Your point is clouded, but when reviewing SP missions the reviewer can only play the part the author has set.

The well made missions shouldn't use waypoints for the player or his group.

As for posting the players role... I can't believe we didn't already have it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah Anmac off course you're right - as i'm makin mp maps,
i didn't think about the fact of sp missions  ;D

Looking again onto Armstrongs question let me think that
he meant that the reviewer should tell this in the review, to give others a preview of what will expect them there.
