Just wanted to drop you all a line for our closed Beta impressions. Didn't know if you had seen these yet.

Cheers,

Not saying you're oppinion is wrong or anything but, hey:

1) They force you to play navally. The MCV is in the sea, and spews out vehicles that deploy into structures.
Only Empire uses those vehicles, the other factions have variations of traditional RA building. Most people also undeploy the MCV and move it back onto land, at least, I do. I rarely use naval units at all.
2) The gameplay is slow and boring.
Well, that's all opinion there. I personally like it though it does become a bit too slow in some matches.
3) Too much micromanagement! Arrgh!
No way! Micromanagement makes this fun, unlike C&C3 where you just select 10000 tanks and attack-move to the enemy's base.
4) There are no more ore fields, only ore mines.
Certainly makes things different, since you don't have to worry so much anymore, but hey, more time for combat.
5) The Jap's superweapon is terrible.
iirc the actual superweapons aren't in it yet, just things like the chronosphere... "sub-superweapons".
