a very good, well designed game, don't know about the freshness of the story.

My first impressions upon first playing the game were very good. For one thing in multiplayer or skirmish mode, players are given the chance to create different tactics. As you have "special capabilities" that would say, like call for reinforcements, etc (these are in the commander type choosing things). The good thing is that a player can be a rush or a set-up kinda guy. And there are a lot of ways to defend against rushes, which is good. This is what I see lacking in the Dawn of War series that Relic also made. Though DOW was good, there was nearly no other way to stop a rush.

Gameplay simply introduces some new elements, compared with the DOW series.

For single player though, I don't think (though i haven't yet finished the story mode so these are assumptions) that there isn't anything new on the block about the story. This is what I assume after playing:

*Medal of Honor Allied Assault, Breakthrough, Spearhead, Pacific Assault
*Codename Panzers: Phase One, Phase Two
*Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, Earned in Blood
*Desert Rats Vs. Afrika Korps
(I know that Call of Duty seems to be missing from the list, because I really didn't play it. C'mon I've gotten through the whole MOH series, it's already quite sickening.)

Also from watching National Geographic and Discovery Channel.

Though. I would still play this thing, to see if they have done anything new. Or else I'll just simply cheat my way through if the gameplay gets too boring :P
