well, this is a pretty fun game to be honest. i may say that about most war games, but this RTS really shines all around

your sneaking through a blown out village, and it seems to be deserted. a german sniper pops out the church window and shoots you ( that doesnt happen every day) while your squad starts firing back... okay so maybe that wont happen unless you get really sucked into your games and relate to every unit in an RTS. The Physics in this game are really nice, if you had a stick, and a seal.... well ill leave that alone, but the physics are really good, buildings blow up and such. every unit responds in some snappy patter and depending on their situation. for instance if your sniper is in camo, he'll whisper his "im a sniper yada yada yada" or something like that, or if your boys are being shot at they'll start screamin lines that'll contain a few words to make your grannies cringe(the germans may do that in normal conversation though). Graphics are top notch and really makes the overall experience better, they're so good you could see the fly on the sniper if that pixel wasnt burnt in from leaving the monitor on gamespot when watching 24 hour tournaments or something like that (i jest, you cant see flys).
now i never really 'loved' dawn of war, i mean would people with massive armor and huge guns really run at a bunch of green buggers when they could just shoot them?. anyway the formula works really well in this WW2 style where territory is important. it may be harder to get good defenses with such a large territory to cover, but i guess that just makes it a little more realistic.
i said the learning curve was high, but by that i mean it would take that long to beat the hard computers, players on the other hand are about as polar in their skill as arctic bears. either they suck or they beat you
everything seems to work together really nicely and the experience is the best WW2 RTS ive seen yet
