I feel the best RTS on the market is Company of Heroes, RTS should be about tactics, positioning, flanking etc. However in the Q&A session on gamespot Blizzard are actually boasting about (as opposed to WC3) a return to more emphasis on resource management and rushing...the two things I hate in RTS. This is the reason I like CoH, with the machine guns at bases from the start rushing is impossible and the resource system in CoH is brilliant.
This SC2 doesn't bring anything new to the table, heck I don't even think it has destructable environments that makes CoH and the upcoming World In Conflict (which also doesn't have resources as we know and loathe them) so visually brilliant.
The game looks like its for existing SC fans, from what I've seen its not going to win any new fans, heck even AoE 3 Far East Xpack looks better. With WiC and new CoH expansion coming out later this year...this game will struggle, if it wasn't called SC2, and for arguments sake called Warhammer 40k: But Without The Licence (WH40K: TWTL...rolls off ya tongue) I doubt anyone would be second glancing at information about it.
