Comments
One thing I really hated about the original (and I suppose it must be true of the other games using this engine) is the horrible way in which aircraft moved. Why have no RTSes since TA been able to do the realistic movement that aircraft (like the Hawk) in that game had?
All the RTS games I have tried in this line and have extremely heavy handed to the point that you HAVE to win the game the way THEY want you to and in the WAY they want you to. No fun.
I keep waiting and waiting and waiting for someone to recapture the simplicity and fun of Total Annihilation. All the companies continually just want to make RTS's more and more complicated and more and more scripted. Sux.
