I just got it recently. What do I think of it? Well... Sorry, but I all over the place right now. Many things just don't feel right. But I have yet to finish the game obviously, so I am not going to say my final word.

Update: Ok, I would like to say that DoR feels a little better. I just got to the lab with the 10 digit code.

That's good. *Can't say no more cause I'm the only person who still doesn't have the game*

I just killed Greyfield. Yay! Wait... *looks up in the sky* oh sh**.

The things that annoyed me about this game

Co Powers are practically useless
There are some very stupid units in the game*cough*Dusters*cough*
The difficulty was over it some times, I mean, the mission before the last was HARD AS HELL, and the last one was a piss, something you could do in your sleep

What I liked:
I liked the new characters.
I liked the new mood the game has, the turn it has taken
Some of the missions WERE fun(I don't remember which one it was anymore, but you played as Lin against Greyfield. I really liked that mission)

There are other many great things about it, and I'm sure you will enjoy the game =)

^I know one guy who really tore up Tabitha with Will's COP. But, in general, COPs lack usefulness. I'd rather keep my power bar full, and when it's full the CO Zone is larger. Although Isabella and Tabitha have useful COPs - - oh wait. They're likely to be banned anyways.

And how is the Duster stupid? You can splash non-Fighter planes and nail Foot Soldiers, and Tanks can't hurt them if they're attacked (except AA Tanks.) You could blow up a Missile with a Duster or two. All this for only 13000 - not too much more than a B-Copter at 9000. Plus, the Duster is a cool-looking re-iteration of the Fighter B from Famicom Wars and Game Boy Wars.

Maybe I use them wrong, maybe they were downgraded in the European version but everything I attacked with my Dusters took like two damage and my Dusters were near death. The Air unit I relied on most was prolly the Seaplane, and if I didnt have access to those I'd pick Bombers.

But seriously about the Tabitha mission, it took me 40 days to finish her off, I had to resort to base occupying and eventually it was my Duster, Battle Copter against her captained Duster.

I find the dusters useful. I mean, sure, they can't to much to tanks but I use my B-copters for that anyway. It can attack fighters too. That's a plus for me. And even if there are no air units to worry about I'll always have fun mowing down infantry. In the end, I will usually buy a B-copter and a duster.

Anyway, I have to say this, I have no clue how to use a CO power in this game. I know I have my CO on the field in order to get their power bar up but after that I'm stuck.

I never knew CO powers could be used until I had Will (me) and Isabella go at it in one of the trial maps.

Right now I am on the mission Sacrificial Lamb. I haven't started the mission yet but looking at it made me go, 'OMG discouragement!'
