Heh, I broke down and played it. The picture in picture system is definately very cool. What a nice idea. I didn't mess around with all the uber commander controls and systems, but they seem like a good idea, I'm only afraid the game will become too automated... Graphics are nice in some areas, and stale in others, an improvement over EE I'd say. There are some decent smoke effects on the guns. Looks like a territory system (eg. Rise of Nations) has been adopted. Seemed like it would work out ok. Only played for a few minutes against the easiest comp, hope to play more later. Seems like it could be a great game. Let's hear what other people think. Definately liked the picture in picture though.
