As much as I've started to dislike the C&C games I must say it does *look* good, but probably still miles behind supcom in gameplay, even TA had anphibious tanks, in fact TA had anphibians that went both under or over water so RA3 still needs to catch up to TA in that respect .
How are these graphics a step back?
They look really smooth to me..
This is a very different game to supcom and TA. its a completely different play style. The units are not built around a hole in the tech tree, the tech tree is built around the units. and the units are damn cool.
I think this will be pretty good, although its got a tough job with Starcraft 2 on the radar.
Google "PC Gamer Dawn of War 2" and you'll find out.
Of course this game is different to SupCom and TA since they're actually strategy games. This like most "RTS" is really battles in a tactical scale with a strategic style (ie, no squad level combat and such).
