Your getting a Campaign, Skirmish and MP only. No 3v3 maps or 4v4 maps. Sorry if you wanted to have a 4v4 comp stomp.

Hard AI appears to be cheating I can't replicate their starting build its always slightly faster then I can do it copying them.

Only 2 unique factions on launch. CnC Generals had 3. Starcraft had 3. Doctrines are less flushed out then in a game like CoH where those actually affect a lot of things. They are more like basic upgrades that would exist within a building.

Zero super weapons. I kinda like those, they are always a fun meme, but just completely absent.

This seems like an RTS to compete with Starcraft E-Sports. Soundtrack and visuals are good tho.
Paying 50 Dollars for a Releasing Early Access game is not good. Probably would pick it up if it was 30 dollars but I can't imagine someone getting 50 dollars worth from just the 2 11 mission campaigns and the bare bones skirmish. Maybe if it had a Dynamic Campaign or a rogue-lite conquest style of mission it might be worth it.

Like any other game I feel is in early access, I will wait and purchase it once I feel it is complete enough to properly enjoy.

"It hasn't been launched... it still in early access. meaning it not complete yet hence the free update coming out soon with the new faction."

Really its still in early access? I didn't see the alert on the steam page for it being an EA game? I didn't see them mention that HEY we aren't actually launching our game today. This is the full release right here right now.

I didn't want to give constructive feedback about a game that clearly isn't finished and just needs to be placed back into an oven. If I gave constructive feedback on some other games I would tell the devs to remove the game from steam and work on it 6 more months.

I will say they have beaten their All time Peak players 3 days in a row upto 9.3k Players. Very nice. CoH3 had 35K players on launch. Call to Arms Gates of Hell OST launched with 2k players and built their way up ~5k players daily.

"Like I know a 3rd faction is coming out. But to launch a game like this? Do we ever learn?"

It hasn't been launched... it still in early access. meaning it not complete yet hence the free update coming out soon with the new faction.

Look I don't love that a lot of great games are coming out in Early access. I would prefer to buy fully finished product and sometimes a game just looks to good, but hey if you buy a game that's in EA you can't complain when its not done or is missing features. either it will come good or the game becomes a dud that's the risk we take.
Give constructive ideas don't just bi*** about things!

That is exactly what it is. A release version with minimum content.
Unlike stormgate, though, this one has future. I think it is safe to expect 3rd faction, maps and balance patches in a year. But 4v4 and other things I guess will come later - I'd not expect it in 6 months, same goes for major mechanics.

I'm quite certain this review will be updated within 6 months of updates if the game continued to be developed after the launch here.

I did a 1v1 vs a normal AI and a 2v2 with an ez AI and myself and a hard AI to check.

how are u able to see their builds? there is no replay option like in SC2. how would u even know if u were replicating their build order? ud have to have vision on their base the entire match. are u using some sort of cheat or something to see them? if not u wouldnt have any idea what their build order was, at least not precise enough to copy it effectively. you have .4 hours on the game so u didnt even have enough time to learn or do anything u played maybe 1 or 2 matches and got stomped and left. ur rant was fueled by emotional rage and not an actual review of the game. its fairly obvious from your own review u didnt actually play the game, taht comment alone about not being able to replicate it is glaringly obvious u didnt play the game. top it off with .4 hour and thats all that needs to be said about your review, as empty as your own noggin

Starcraft is the most prolific RTS game franchises of all time and the AI cheats like a motherf*****r yet it's wildly popular, and that game's AI is actually the smartest there is. Lower the difficulty I guess.

Agreed. It could be so much better if they actually had more content. I feel like there's not much replay value if you finish the campaigns.

Good review, my thoughts exactly and very much let down by the lack of larger skirmish options
