So far I think its great. Mostly because I won most of my online games... Im sure once I start losing, I'll hate the game.

But yeah, the mic communication is the best when doing 2 vs. 2's and 3 vs. 3 's. Something thats almost non-existent in PC versions. If you and the 2 others on your team have mics, your looking pretty good. If someone doesnt have a mic, they most likely either suck really bad...or will quit halfway into the game..which in turn will screw your team.

The good thing is , you dont need a good party to play online.

They have :

1 vs. 1

2 vs. 2 (mercenary )
2 vs. 2 ( party system)

3 vs 3 ( mercenary)
3 vs 3 ( party system)

With the mercenary's you get teamed up with random people.

I only did 1 single player campaign and it was very easy..even on Heroic. There were about 7000 online last night playing..I think once people see how cool the matchmaking system is, it'll be more popular in time.

we just had the best game ever... It just ended (5am)... and lasted over 3 hours.

it was a 3 vs. 3 and everybody had a mic. The other team was really good and we just kept going back and forth forever destroying each others bases. I lost at least 10 bases myself and we still won ! That was an INSANE match.

When we would go all AIR, they would go anti-air...then when we'd switch up and go GROUND, they'd go air. It just lasted forever. We were really close to giving up. And finally instead of meeting them at the same spot during every battle, we went completely around the other side and got them up the....you know what.

im up to Truskill LVL 15 already.. damn this game is good. Everybody I play with says the same thing. Atleast 8000 people online during peak times. and it keeps going up everyday.

This is the best game ever. Its all I been playing since its been released. I dont think people out there realize how much fun 3 vs 3 is. Especially 3 vs. 3 Standard with Mics enabled.. When you play 3 vs. 3 Party version, everybody rushes...which is pretty gay. I prefer Standard.

3 vs. 3 Standard teams you up randomly with others close to your true skill level. Im currently TruSkill level 31 on 3 vs. 3 standard.

Its like Warcraft 3 on the PC but better... you dont waste time building farms and all that corny crap. The action is almost immediate. Controls are very simple and you learn them in 2 seconds.

When I first played online there were only 6,000 online... Now at night time there are over 50,000 online ! That is a huge increase for a game most people are passing by as just another C & C . The game is a million times better then C & C and their already talking about an expansion for this... After they closed down the studio !

I thought the game was pretty good. But, after a week or so it becomes repeative.

I felt like that in the beginning.. but If you continue learning the classes & getting better at it, its mad addicting.

Maybe I'll give this game a try. I have never played C&C but is it the same as Age Of Empires?
