A Classic RTS

Me not being a fan of RTS at all, i'll have to give this one my full attention. One of the reasons not being an RTS fan, is sitting around collecting resources and building a stupid base (micro managing). In this game, it gives you a set number of troops from your dropship to instantly jump into the action and kill stuff YAY! Pure action from start to finish. Instead of finding resources like C&C or Starcraft, You actually have to destroy the enemies and take over points on the map and defend them to earn AP (aka money) to drop more guys for you to send into battle or upgrade your dropship. Why upgrade the dropship you ask? You can actually have your dropship hang out for a while and defend your LZ with it's cannons! Or upgrade its engines for faster drops instead of waiting around for more guys. You get the idea...

Alot of RTS i notice is like, the more guys you have the better chances of you winning with just sending hoards of guys into the enemies base. Here, it's all about stratagy, positioning your troops so they always have the advantage, and ambushing the enemy. And with this, the longer they survive, the more experience they get climbing the ranks, the stronger and more powerful they become. Having a choice where to position them in buildings is definitly a plus, because sometimes the enemy sneaks up behind you at the opposite end of where you're facing, so you actually have to always watch your troops back.

With a great eventual learning curve, this game is easy to get in to and extremely fun to play. The graphics are amazing and blows C&C: Generals out of the water. Finally you can be right there on the battlefield at ground level! Multiplayer is a whole 'nother story ;-) you get the idea.

What I see from their company's trailers is that they are living up the fans' (including me /heh) expectations. YEAH NICE GFX, SFX EVERYTHING!!! See you in the battlefield.

Well, I was a big fan of Ground Control 1, and this one is definitely an improvement graphically, but it doesn't grip me like other RTS games I've played in the past. The one thing I'll say, it's worth the current market price.

it is a good game

i think that ground control was a great game i liked it, because it was realistic. corparations waring, end or the world , etc. this ought to be a good game. I expect the story line will be good as ground control was a cliff hamger but i for one am expecting alot. I hope that this doesn't turn into a starship troopers two type of sequal because that was a really bad movie. The controls on ground control were the best i had seen in a while, it is 3D unlike a lot of games that use strategy that i have seen and i hope that you try this game, and anyway if it sucks you can allways sell it online, people will by anything there

Ground Control 2: RTS Evolved

The original Ground Control was
simply the best Tatical RTS I ever played. Now, Ground Control 2 has come.
With it's state-of-the-art graphics, stunning gameplay and shocking story, GC2 is the Tactical RTS of 2004.
GC2 is unlike a conventional RTS because it focuses on your units, strategy and tactics are a must.
There is no base building involved, however. I look forward to it's release.

awesome to the max

GCII is Awsome. Best Graphics i've ever seen. This isn't an RTS like AOM or AOE but is better in some ways. Only one bad thing, the game has High system requirements, but it worked on my computer.This is one of the best games i've ever played.

Too reactive, not enough strategy

I much prefer GC1, which had a lot of scenarios that required strategy. GC2 is too in-your-face.
