Many important points. Gameplay in NTW is a mess, its made for huge misslefights, where units usually dont get into melee.
If you play without much melee you can have fun, the only problem you meet are the movement bugs (which wont be fixed anyway). If you play with some more melee, than you need the map for its, else your doomed.

Rushing is very hard, you need a good lagfree moment to get at least 70% of your units running. Since you have to check each single command you give, you waste insane time, time you mostly dont have.
To bring up the terrible ui and the crap controlling is valid. With the current system ( its the same engine...) we wont have much fun in S2, thats for sure.

What brings me back to the question, Who is betatesting such a game? This must be noticed, this zoo obvious. This said, they did know about the bugs and brought it life.
Im very dissapointed, tons of nice pics and lots of promises once again, but after 10 years most people wake up and realize, that it needs more than some nice words.
