Anyone tried this?
I just got it a few days ago, and I'm still not all clear what I think about it
It does have some interesting ideas:
- Your units works in groups, and can transform on the battlefield*
- You need to level the terrain to build on it
- After sending lots of rockets to some terrain, it starts looking bomed
- The maps are very interesting: e.g. one of the MP maps is one huge Pizza
But it has some downsides too:
- There's one structure that exists all over the map, otherwise you wont win**
- It's very fast-paced. I doubt MP games will last more than an hour
- Some of the missions in the campaign are very annoying***
* There's 3 basic units (soldiers, officers, technicians) which can be tranformed into helicopters, rocket launchers, etc
** The power-generator, power-transmitter (Don't remember the ingame name for it)... it has to be built often to generate enough power (power = "gold"), and buildings has to be very close to it to be useable...
These buildings are linked (you see a network of 'power' in the air between those buildings), which can get very annoying when you've got 30+ of those
*** Yesterday I spent an hour trying to finish a mission... The game simply just told me to build a certain building in 4 spots, and defend them with rockets... ok, I got them built, and none of them was never touched, since I had lots of rocket-towers defending them... but apparently you had to defend each of them with the rocket-units, not just rockets...
Today I have played one mission like 10 times, but always with the same result: The enemy can get through my super-defense like if I didn't have any defense in the first place, while even if I attack with more units than them, and they have less defense than me (and worse planned defense also) I can't even manage to get halfway through their land (You have to dig to the center of their land, and they do the same)...
From being on their forum, it sounds a bit like there's one hell of a huge bug in the game...

I like starcraft and games there rarely last much longer than 30 minutes

In normal games the fun first begins after 30 mins... |
how in the world?
even if you are just expanding (not meaning to get into fights), you would still run into someone at in expansion before 30 minutes were up (as well as have all the tech tree and 200 supply used)

in games which end at 30 minutes in starcraft I usually build ~500 units... (as well as have full apgrades for at least 2 types of units, sometimes more)

also, that is at normal speed (that is what my freinds prefer), I would prefer to play fastest which would be even faster
