First of all, let me point out that Ground Control 2 is not a traditional RTS game. This game is not about building bases and trying to keep them fortified, it's all about the combat and strategy! Those of you hard core RTS fans may not like this game very much because of it's traits but I love it! Another thing that I like about this game is that you don't have to spend half of your gaming expierence trying to collect resources. You get AP points (the resources) by gaining control over enemy victory locations, that means eliminating all enemys around the area where the victory location is. Once you have enough APs, you call in your dropship to a selected victory location that you have under your control with the infantry or vehicles that you bought. Another thing that I like about this game is tha camera. You can vertualy play this game at any camera angle possible (the camera can get a bit frustrating at times though). I think that anyone who is a RTS fan should try this game out...it's AWESOME!

Currently with what has been presented, the game represents a landmark in graphical in-game rendering / effects concerning RTS (Real Time Strategy) games. I was stunned by the fact that I experienced practically no lag at all with the graphics set to maximum settings (at 1024x768 resolution). The cities had such a high level of detail that upon zooming in, one can even see trash and pieces of paper rolling in the wind. The backgrounds are breath taking with their animated asteroid belts and planetary systems. While Command and Conquer Generals has a pretty impressive engine, it still comes nowhere near to what I've seen with GC2. Additionally, C&C Generals lagged horribly even against just two comps, so that rules it out as an alternative RTS. At the moment (3/14/04) GC2 still has some bugs to be worked out, but thanks to the closed beta test, the game will be all refined and polished within a few months for release.

This game Looks AMAZING.

I saw this game and it just shocked me how great it looked. This is definately one of the best looking RTS games i have seen. When units are destroyed, The graphics for the units blowing up is AWESOME. Also, its a different type of RTS where there isn't a building that creates units, you have to drop units out of this big dropship. There isn't a "build order" so you can drop what ever units you want out of the dropship. You could also control this dropship and it makes one enormous Weapon, which makes the game very diverse. This game looks like its going to be a great game. I usually don't even post things but after seeing this game and the potential it has, i think it's going to be a great game.. And i hope people will support this game so we can all play online. =)

Not an RTS!!!

For those of you (shame, shame...) that didn't play GC1, but who want to take a look at GC2, don't go in expecting an RTS (Starcraft, Warcraft, Command&Conquer), as GC is NOT an RTS at all. GC takes it beyond strategy and puts you in the seat of a field commander, using tactics (where would infantry be used best? Maybe an airstrike?). Don't get me wrong, GC is a wonderful genre... I've played GC1 through several times and still love it; just don't go in expecting something you won't get.

This game is a must-buy for those that like playing field commander/general in some games (the battlefields in the Total War series or perhaps some of the Close Combat series).

Great Game

This is 1 of the best games ive played in awhile. 1 of the best parts about the game is you dont have to worry about building a base and collecting resources all you have to worry about is the best way to fight the battle.
Another good feature is the AI the enemy will attack you where you have the least troops and when they lose a position they wont just let you keep it they will counter-attack. You allies are also rather capable it many games ure allies just sit around build a base n defend in this game they go on the offensive and can easliy defend themselves.
This is a good game for anyone who likes rts.

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.

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.
