Now this first post is going to be... well, a bit negative. we'll see how the game fares over time.
Issues from the get go.
1. The game constantly nags me for a patch. That would be fine, except that when i finish a mission, clicking 'ok' to get the patch quits the game, and hitting cancel dumps me to the main menu. wonderful... now i cant see the stats for that mission.
(for reference, the patch only fixes online MP stuff... so i dont see a need for it)
2. Co-op is online only. seriously... i can accept needing a legit account logged in, but the amount of issues with port forwarding and so on that people have, let alone when two people are sharing the same router... WHERE HECK IS LAN MODE
3. no 16:9 widescreen support. Yeah you heard me... its 16:10 resolutions only. You have to modify a file in your 'my documents' folder to get custom resolutions.
4. very hard to micro manage. each unit type has abilities, and once you select multiple unit types in a group you only see one unit types special ability.
This means the game is going to be encouraged to be played with spamming single unit types, making it a very dull spam game.
anyone else like to share their thoughts on this 'great' game?
