"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!"

Emag - extra garantia de retur

Din cand in cand se intampla ca unele magazine din Romania sa aiba initiative interesante daca e sa ne raportam la tara noastra , sau din perspectiva vestului - initive normale si de bun simt

De revelion a fost o tentativa de promotie din partea Emag care a esuat lamentabil. Se facea ca la anumite categorii de produse se ofereau discounturi extrem de atractive , dar trebuiau comandate intr-un palier orar extrem de mic si mai ales de revelion. Nu stiu cati au stat sa verifice site-ul si au sperat ca o sa-si cumpere ceva din "gama de produse selectate" dar pot spune ca am incercat site-ul de 3 ori din 2 retele diferite si daca mergea era foarte lent iar in rest statea. Am inteles ca au fost destui vizitatori, dar asta se poate trece cu vederea, in schimb promotia care a devenit in timpul noptii un produs greu vandabil / categorie de produse a fost o prostie si a sters bila alba pentru respectiva bula de normalitate.

Poate ca sa-si mai spele din pacate, Emag s-a hotarat sa lanseze campania :

'ExtraGarantie de Retur de la eMAG’ care se lauda cu mesajul ca se pot returna produsele de care nu suntem satisfacuti total. Cam asa arata si partea scrisa cu litere mici din campanie :  

"

Conform legislatiei in vigoare, renuntarea la cumparare este aplicabila doar clientilor persoane fizice.

Astfel, consumatorul are dreptul sa notifice in scris comerciantului ca renunta la cumparare, fara penalitati si fara invocarea unui motiv, in termen de 10 zile lucratoare de la primirea produsului sau, in cazul prestarilor de servicii, de la incheierea contractului.

Renuntarea la cumparare in termen de 10 zile se poate aplica doar pentru produsele livrate prin curier.

Produsul returnat trebuie sa fie in aceeasi stare in care a fost livrat (in ambalajul original cu toate accesoriile, cu etichetele intacte si documentele care l-au insotit). Cheltuielile de returnare vor fi suportate de client iar rambursarea contravalorii produsului se va face in cel mult 30 de zile de la retur.

Daca produsul este returnat intr-o stare in care nu mai poate fi vandut ca si nou, ne rezervam dreptul de a solicita o taxa pentru readucerea in stadiul initial (daca este posibil) sau pentru a acoperi diferenta de pret rezultata din vanzarea produsului ca second-hand sau, la optiunea clientului, ii vom reexpedia produsul, pe cheltuiala acestuia.

Acesta clauza se aplica conf. O.G. 130/2000, in cazul achizitionarii de produse din acest site folosind tehnicile de comunicare la distanta, aplicandu-se definitiile cuprinse in O.G. 130/2000 art. 2 lit.e.

"

Ce nu este mentionat foarte bine este perioada in care este disponibila aceasta "extra optiune" si anume : "Valabilitate

ExtraGarantia de Retur este oferita in termenii initiali pentru o perioada limitata, pentru achizitiile realizate intre 8 februarie - 30 aprilie 2010."


Eu inca sper intr-o normalizare a pietii in Romania , care sa insemne nu numai produse de top dar si servicii similare. iN strainatate nu este nevoie de o campanie ca sa returnezi produsul in 30 de zile, si ce nu stie multa lume este ca si in Romania in legile privind comertul electronic se prevede exact ce ofera Emag-ul acum pt. 30 de zile ( legislatia obliga la 10 zile ) . Deci practic se primesc 20 de zile de extra returnare daca e sa fim extrem de matematicieni
