I was playing the Beta and I honestly hate this game. The original is way more fun. DoW2 isn't an RTS anymore, it's a tactics game. My main issues were the difficulty of controlling units, finding units in the first place and the poor friendly AI (ie: units looking for cover across the map when I would rather they just shoot).

Of course it's still just a beta right now, so it can't be said it'll stay that way, but I'll keep trying it out since a friend of mine really loves this game and wants me to team up with him.
