For example all this talk about the campaign AI communicating with the battle AI: Have you ever seen the AI doing a strategic retreat against impossible odds in battle (or even on the campaign map)?

I agree and I think that it is sloppy work which we experiance in a crappy game. I dont mind if code was used from previous games, but CA should have at least playtested this game before it shipped.

Honestly, if you are going to pay programers to patch a game 3-6 months after release, cant that same money be spent instead to have programmers beta-test and complete a game 3-6 months before you release it. I really dont understand the knowledge behind rushing a game to stores and releasing a crappy or unfinished product. It upsets the customers!!!
