Yup, i did.
I enjoyed it too. It was a simple minded game with dumb AI and large unit bloodbaths, not some semiRPG, semiRTS ooh I build my hero to level 10 then be suprised that there are only like 4 good units in the entire game. And whats with the total of 30 different units and structures per side. C&C had that, a decade ago.
I mean honestly, I am half way through the campaign currently, and have yet to enjoy the game past mindless killing and laughing at the fact that Blizzard has no originality. The storyline is semioriginal but with 4 cliche races and little actual strategic variety it grows very, very thin very fast.

Well, the thing is that the game can be beaten without any decent strategy, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
The comment about "4 good units in the entire game"? What constitutes a good unit in your opinion then, something that you can pump out fifteen of, throw at the enemy base, and call it a day? Well, yes. WIII doesn't have many of those. They kind of detract from the strategy aspect.

By good, i meant, unique, unmediocre, and capable of beig used well in a stategic sense. I consider the recon bikes from C&C good, if that means anything about it.
