The first desert map is rather dull, but their are some fantastic looking maps in the beta and the skirmish maps in the demo is very nice...the bug you are talking about in the first mission, is a bug apparently some people are suffering from, if you hold down shift you will see your rally points keep being reset to the south, GPG is aware of it.... Just play the skirmish mode :) thats were the fun is at :) put it on easy and mess around for a while, watch the tutorials and it will all start to come together soon enough. The game doesn't really involve a ton of micro once you learn all the tools :)
[QUOTE="Einhanderkiller"]I just played the demo and wow, it is incredible. I'm definitely going to buy this game.toad1956
Unfortunately I found it boring and the unit size was way to small, but it was totally a failure. Unlike last years failures this might be a good game to replace AOE 3 which is getting boring and annoying. It will at least hold the line until C&C comes out.
The first impressions this game can give you are so dam misleading it's not even funny, your new, you have no clue how to play it and can't even comprehend even a 10th of the amazing innovative features in the game so it's understandable.
It took me a couple of weeks before I really started to see the greatness of this game in the beta. To get you there faster I suggest you download the tutorials found below
And I hate to break it to you man, but EALA makes nothing, but some of the most poorly made trash RTS games ever, CnC 3 will blow so hard.....people on GR who have played it are saying the game is more shallow then even that piece of crap generals, anyway if you want to talk about EA's trash do it somewhere else.

Umm, can anyone get this thing to run in widescreen? I only have 3 resolution options, none of them widescreen.
My desktop resolution is 1280 X 720.

Thats odd, yes it has a bunch of widescreen resolutions, I run it in 1680 by 1050! A tip for you guys, if you have a widescreen monitor I HIGHLY recommend you move the UI to either the left or right of the screen. YOU CAN MOVE THE UI/INTERFACE by holding down alt and using the arrow keys.
Mypo let me clear a few things up for you! Their are tutorials, TONS! Google it and you will find them :P fileplanet alone has half a gig of tutorials for the game The units going into the corner is a demo bug, I've already talked to GPG about it, apparently only some people suffer from it.... The units only seems small because you play much more zoomed out then you do in a typical RTS, nevertheless you can play it heavily zoomed in just fine if you want to use the mini-map.
It's not slow at all, in fact once the game gets going if you know what your doing this is easily one of the fastest games, their is, but your not use to how it plays so you wouldn't know yet :P To give you an idea of how slow you are likely going, a decent player will have 10 various factories, tons of power generators, dozens of engineers doing all sorts of thing and much more in less then 10 minutes into a typical game. On high resource maps this number could be as much as doubled. Someone needs to float this thread.
The gaming industry is very small and personally knowing people in it, word spreads quickly about who is doing what, my sources tell me that Starcraft 2 has been in the works for about a year and a half, though much of that was merely a productio part of the phase. I also know that for quite a while Blizzard has had most of their guys who were working on it on the Burning Crusade. So I am told the earliest it could possibly appear is in 2009
