2 new races that arent anything new, and the old races get a downgrade?
What this means to me is that the skilled players that could dance or micro their troops and have superior control of their armies lose to guys that just know the right build orders. Its a much harsher tech progression, so if you find yourself behind a bit its virtually impossible to catch up if hes halfway intelligent.
The game has even worse loading/lag issues than even the original dow, even with the ridiculous amounts of ports you have to open (this game isnt really even worth it if you have a router unless you like turning it off).
The community has the same amount of people on it in ss as dc anyways, so i dont see the point to this product. Its feels like a down grade with the extra tech problems.
Even the 2 new races look like they spent about an hour redesigning the current sm and eldar armies to give us these new additions.
I would say its a complete waste of money, but then again, looking at the competition (or lack thereof) what else are you going to play?
oh and looking at the past, all these expansions get ONE patch. Thats it. Maybe this xpansion will get the uber fix to everything that we've been waiting for since 1.1 of the original game, but im not holding my breathe anymore.
