I like RTS games too. I played Starcraft, Warcrafts, Command and Conquer, but by Starcraft I was mostly just playing to play with friends. Dawn of War re-awokened my taste for the genre. Few games are as intense for me, and I like the 'on your feet' kind of strategizing involved.
That being said, the gameplay videos from Starcraft look like a couple of steps back from that. This could be totally wrong, but it doesn't look squad-based. I don't know if I could go back to building individual infantry...ugh. If it is squad based, several of those units were walking single file... Also, thanks to Dawn of War and Company of Heroes, I'd have a hard time coping with a game that doesn't incorporate morale, on-the-fly unit upgrades, cover, and (CoH only) an actual physics engine.
Nevertheless, I'm mostly with ya Ilander, I'd hardly play RTS games if turn-based strategies were common [img]tongue.gif[/img] , and as it is I fire up DosBox more often than any other program.
