I think it might be a step down from Generals, but it's certainly better than RA2 as far as I'm concerned. For AI reasons if nothing else.

I'm hesitant to make any claims about gameplay with one map and two of three sides revealed, though.

Thankfully it should be easily moddable, and there'll doubtless be an expansion to add to the list.
That said, the units do tend to be good at what they do - zipped through the Alexandria GDI mission with just a few Mammoth tanks on hard, so there's not much need for extra units the way they've done it.

Yes - I do miss the General Powers & specific generals. Actually I'd also like the Particle Cannon (mini-ion cannon maybe), but there we go.

I agree on the easy modding. But I don't remember getting Mammoths in the demo mission.
