4 Copies? Why??

Anyway my real question is, is this game any good?. People have been raving about it generally (I series), but when I had a quick (and it was quick) go, it just looked like c&c Generals to me :p:

So Convince me, why should I buy this game?

Pre-Ordered ages ago, they decided to send it this morning, anyway it realy depends on you're preferance Tsunami, I did have a nice long post typed up but I lost it and I realy don't want to type it up again, however, I can assure you it does not play like generals.

For instance the resouce gathering is closer to ground control 2 than generals, in the sense that you can only get one of your resources (Requsition) From set capture places across the map, once captured, you are able to build a small building (Listening Post) which generates requsition faster, and can be upgraded to generate it even faster and defend itself as a turret.

Carrying on on the resource idea is the decay, the longer you hold a capture point and the further into the game you are, the less you will get from it overall, untill the point where its decayed totaly (although losing resources completly is nothing new) and generates nothing.

There is pleanty more to it than that, but I am not the best suited to describing it...

4 copies is for assorted friends in one package etc.

just play the demo fully and you will see it is nothing like Generals
