Allow me to preface this comment with-
I hadn't heard anything about this game until approx 3 weeks ago.
I am an FPS player by nature- so RTS's very rarely land on my radar. having said that.. I found out about this game and decided after reading a few impomptu reviews to give it a shot.
talk about immediately being sucked into a game. the game looks well, runs like a champ (i have a beast machine so i suppose it would) and has everything i like in an RTS -thus far.
good variety of units not only in name and shape, but in performance. i.e.- in most RTS's, u can get by (barely) with bullet type units vs larger vehicles, but not in this game.. i'm really digging how each unit really should be used for its purpose.
the upgrades are phenomenal, i really like upgrading certain members of my marine squad for certain functions and for that matter, upgrading my vehicles for their purpose. In most RTS's you would build something equal to a Dreadnought and it would be useless against infantry,but not here, u can go with an anti personnel or anti vehicle.. thank you for putting an option like that into this game.
I cant stop playing this game and have given up the Tribes beta for it. This is the first game I will have pre-ordered in many years. Congrats on a great product.
