"antinuke spam. All anti nukes in a silo will launch against a single nuke, and can’t auto build – have to completely micro manage.
ac1000 is the retarded nephew of the bug
can’t multi select idle engies, even just to move
CAN’T PAUSE in multiplayer
can’t steal engie and build enemy tech
clicking idle engie takes you to that engie
Commander death results in complete destruction of army
commander is insignificant. Poor militarily, marginally faster at construction.
intel overlay mostly removed, not persistent, and inconsistent between races
mini map is not persistent
no support commanders
nothing can move around the commander, and units can’t move around engies
point defense doesn’t work
queued construction will randomly drop structures
radar is very small
research buildings are useless after research is done – except protobrain
sometimes while patrolling units will encounter enemies, fight, and no longer continue to patrol
stacking commands doesn’t work (attack move/patrol)
tiny maps
units will sit there and be destroyed even when the aggressor is in their “target ring” unless you tell them to attack
horrible installation experience
no beacons
can’t queue long lists because no resources, requires micro management
can’t share with team, units or resources, so you get to enjoy being part of the game with a single anti air left and no way to change it.
no tool tips, no idea if it is land/sea/air capable
can no longer see what a unit is targeting
I got an xbox game when I paid for a pc game
can’t save a skirmish???
too many individual “set duration” upgrades to keep clicking
connection issues
no lan support, online only
no black team anymore
one 8 player map
engies and assisting broken
game still lags
experimental artillary is worthless
250 tanks can’t take out a commander, even when fully upgraded.
AI just spams nukes to exploit the anitnuke fail. Makes AI coding much easier for bad programmers when they can build in fail points."

2nd opinion, sorry, i don`t have the link or name just the opinion 

"I was all excited to pop in the game and start playing. When I got past the videos I was thrown into legoland. I quickly realized I was playing a game targeted at 6 year old monkeys and not 33 year old professionals.

I cannot believe that a sequel 3 years after the original could possibly have worse graphics and weaker gameplay.

Isn't the idea of a sequel to improve upon an original?

They obviously did not have the PC market in mind when they drew up these super low poly count models, did the lighting and shadowing shaders...or any shaders at all?, and drew up the game mechanics.

I mean there isn't even a local network multiplayer option for crying out loud!"
