I waited a week and a half to comment on this game. I like the game. The updated graphics, sound and game play are nice. However, "limiting" is the key word that I keep coming back to. You are limited to the space marines in the campaign. You are limited to bring only 4 squads to battle. You are limited to what weapons they can bring. You can not purchase and choose what your team carry. You do not build bases. There are only 3 two player multi-player maps and 3 six player multi-player maps. You can choose to capture victory points, but the game will only let you select a 500 point count down. In COH you could choose 500 or 1000 points. You only have four armies to choose from. I miss the imperial guard. The game has a good foundation. I think when they take the training wheels off this game and add in more choices it will be great.
