woah this remake pretty good yup pretty good dude
The BEST RTS after Starcraft - and im not a SC 1 and SC 2 fan, just trying to be objective. Starcrafts have to be the best story driven and multiplayer rts's out there. There's others but let's be honest, nothing comes close the SC aura. Except this game perhaps. I can't remember the last time i undertook hours and hours of multiplayer gameplay and genuinely enjoy it. The single player and story campaign are brilliant, less so in Soul Storm that is a bit repetitive and lackluster, but the rest are top notch. And then hours and hours of multiplayer have made me addicted to this game in a good way. Shame it has a declining population, but even so, with no more than 300-400 people online somehow you still get matched in less than 2 minutes most times. I only wish there was a way to reboost the popularity of this title so it doesn't die out in time. I rather play this than the tidium and over the top complexity of SC2.
Great game, like the updates from the original. I like how I can track my achievements through the Steam app online.
Great game. Brings me back when I was a kid playing this game.
GIVE ME THE OPTION TO REVERT BALANCE CHANGES AND MY MONEY IS YOURS RELIC ENTERTAINMENT!!! Jokes aside, i dont understand why it isnt an option still.
