well, contrary to what was posted earlier, the only thing this game has in common with war2 is the story. Any strategies that you had before don't matter at all in this game. Completely different. That said, I love the game. It has a lot more character than war2 did and obviously the game is gorgeous. I am an unnoficial beta tester, but I've bought every Bliz game they've released and this will be no exception. A must have in my opinion....
