dumbed it down way too much. no more tiered units, structures, base defenses. smaller scale, ugly game that looks worse than the first one...all this just so they could make it work on a console. ah well, another good series down the drain.

was this game ever good? All I ever heard about it was people setting up their bases and build queues, AFKing for 30-45 min, coming back and nothing happened to them. Oh and build times for super units that were literally 1 hour. And the vaunted zoom out thing so your game consists of X's fighting against O's
What was so great about this game again? I guess I always thought Total Annihilation was a steaming pile of shit so there was no hope in hell I'd appreciate this series.

lol all true with the slow pacing. most of the time you're staring at little squares and circles moving around. but there was just something about the enourmous scale i enjoyed. from the number of units, to map size, size of the battles, etc were all huge and complex. thats what made the first one different...once they took that away it turned into a super generic rts especially since its a buncha nondescript robots pew pewing eachother. just glad blizz isn't wiling to compromise what their games are in order to jam it onto a console.
