This game is excellent. Get, if your system can take it.
All the units are great and interesting, although I do miss the walkers and my Subterranean APC filled with Engineers/Devil's Tongue rush from Tiberian Sun.
The new graphics look great, they finally got rid of the arbitrary 5 unit production queue limit form TS (which was allot better than one unit at a time from Tiberian Dawn). I haven't played the new faction yet, but they look cool.
On the GDI side, they just bowl over NOD by sheer power. The tanks murder the enemy armor, and you can load all the infantry into the APCs so they are guarder but can still fire. The ORCAs are still kinda sucky, though.
On NOD, you really have to micromanage. NOD dies if you don't get your buggys into the middle of the enemy and hit the emp. The fanatics I don't really like (suicide bombers aren't my thing). The Flamer units look great and they can really dish out the hurt. NOD's air units are much better than GDI's, mostly cause they don't have to reload.
And you have the cinema's! Michael Ironside, Lando Calrissian, and Six and Sharon from Battlestar. Plus Kane not dead! Win!
Maybe we should start a geeknights team once Rym gets his new computer?
