I've played through the game and some skirmishing games and once I got hold of the game I hoped it would set a new standard in terms of strategy and graphics on all strategy games. In a way it does in the graphics department, but other than that the game is taking a huge step backwards in terms of strategy. The game COMPLETELEY lack strategic value whatsoever, it's just wait, gather up troops and attack en masse. No troops formations, no using of terrain to your advantage (well you can cover inside a building, thats something "new" and "ground breaking"), the Battlefield series is more strategic than this! C&C offer nothing new strategic mass and charge, it's basic and it's a letdown to advanced C&C players. The game don't do ANYTHING new, it's the same old C&C with more modern graphics thats all, period!
If you got the game and like it, fine like it but don't say it's the best strategy game ever because it's not. If you are new to RTS and want to learn more, then buy it because it's so basic.
