C&C4 camera

I don't really have a problem with C&C4 despite the legions of C&C fan backlash. It's actually a good game if you can get over that it plays drastically different.

If there is one thing that is really bugging right now it's the camera. No zoom is bad, especially when you're that close up to the battlefield. I like to be up close to the action but I also like to be able to actually see my surroundings. Gah.

Lack of camera zoom out ability is what pretty much turned me off of most RTSs.

Lead designer Sam Bass mentioned in an interview that the SAGE engine prevented them from zooming out further.

I just finished the Soviet campaign of Red Alert 3. I have C&C 4 but haven't installed it yet. Is it totally different?

My problem is that I just can't get over it. I might have been able to, but every little problem I have with it just stacked up and fell over into a big pile of fail. Mobile bases could have worked, but they are easily replaced. Capture points could have been a good incentive to get out and fight, but not replace harvesting entirely. Experience system could have been cool, but once you unlock everything there's no point. Unlocking units/abilites could have been interesting, but there is no customization. And so on.... I've played the beta and can say it's not horrible, but I can't say it's very good either. It just feels like C&C in name only. And I guess I can't get over that.
