    These are the best graphics I have ever seen in an RTS game. Detailed but not cluttered, colorful but not cartoony. That's what I don't like about recent RTS games - they try to jam so many details into units and special effects into environments that at first it's hard to even understand wtf is going on. Having clean graphics is essential to an RTS because the better you can discern onscreen events, the better you can control everything.

    And TA is all about control, there is still go game out today that matches the original's amazing freedom in order queueing. You could queue up your commander to harvest five trees, attack a tower, collect scrap metal, build a mine, walk back to your base, make a solar power collector, build an airport, then stay at the airport and speed up its aircraft production. All without spending any of the resources required upfront, since you only spent them as you bulit! Once you have a lot of stuff built, queues like this become a huge help since you don't have to babysit your construction units all the time, and you can simply assign some aircraft builders to patrol around the battlefield so while you fight, they collect scrap metal.

    Also, in which game have you seen a huge mech, tens of times bigger than regular tanks, walk around like a badass shooting plasma guns at one unit, a laser cannon at another, and some shoulder rockets at flying planes all at the same time? Dawn of War came close, but TA is still king.

    Heh, I see chun-li has joined Bison/Vega and Dhalsim. I wonder if the lot of them will show up over the course of the week/month.

    Anyway, I can't say I'm blown away by the graphics from these shots, but I have a feeling that it will look fantastic when moving - especially with the huge scale units and zoom feature (anyone know if it's a smooth zoom?)

    Anyway, this game is not one for graphics whore, it's one for strategy whores :)

    I'm not really a strategy or graphics whore, but damn, TA was fucking awesome. My pants were wet for this a long time ago.
