I never got the first even though I was really interested in it, did it turn out ok? The gra[hics look superb in these screens, nice and clean, hope it plays well.
 
The first one wasn't very good. It has good presentation at first glance, but after playing it extensively the game just seems very shallow and doesn't have a whole lot of depth.
 
jeez, it still looks exactly like Warcraft 3, a game that was released like 4 years ago (and the original shamelessly ripped off). They need to update this or something.
 
The first game was too much focused towards the single player, multiplayer was crap! Flaming arrows for gondor were waaaay 2 powerful and the lack of depth in units and upgrades is a glaringly apparent.

I dont want to be limited to a set number of build points, i think that is stupid.

To be honest, take rome total war, with its ability to have huge seiges against castles with massively coordinated armies, and add in the ability to build your base from scratch and then traverse across the land with your huge army towards the enemies base and you might have yourself a perfect rts.
 
unless they make the game more deep and complex, and not just rts for beginners then ill just stay away. They have a lot more creative freedom for the units in this one atleast so heres hoping they do something there.
 
I really enjoyed the first game, it was a fun RTS with lots of over the top epic combat. I am really looking forward to this one.

As if it's really fair to compare this game to next generation consoles titles. It's probably still running on the 2 1/2 year-old C&C Generals engine.
