There are some bits they made better, upgrading your heros equipment, squads using 'nads, squads using cover and most of the landscape being 'blow-upable' along with better graphics. But why in gawds name did they take away buildings and tech trees? I honestly spent the first 10 mins of my first game wondering how big an idiot I was for not being able to find the build a building option. lol.

The Campain mode was alright, and I guess more *realistic* given it's not like you'd build a base for every battle you'd have. But it kinda ended up being 'get all your men close together and move as a solid firing block' very quickly IMO. Though I can't really judge as I only went a few missions beyond the first orc boss.

The last time I was that disapointed in a game it was another RTS, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. Except they took the 'S' out of it as you just chose troops at the start if the game ans that was that =/
