But, really, in the end it's going to be the same old play experience, right?

Single player : Turtle behind towers until you have enough units to kill the computer, who cannot mount a defense. (ok, so this time around you need to bring several different units instead of just your tanks. Hey, Westwood learned after only five tries!)

Multi player : Click really fast, so that you have your troops faster, and you'll win. Either that, or rush the other guy with your two infantry dudes and manage to kill three of his resource collectors, and you'll win.

I mean, seriously... How long are people going to keep playing this kind of stuff? I love franchises as much as the next guy, but Command & Conquer starting getting REALLY old after Tiberian Sun already. I won't even mention the travesty that was Red Alert 2..

Or am I wrong, and is THIS the fresh breath of life into the RTS genre, that's really starting to look like a piece of stale old toast?
