I really wanted to like this game. I loved the first, but this game is a far cry from it. The campaign was decent enough, but what really kills this game is the garbage level monetization and trash DLCs. You only get access to two factions with the base game, which is absolutely unacceptable for any RTS, even in 2013. I am struggling to remember any other RTS that has released with only two factions since Warcraft 2...and that was 1995. Even the first game had four factions and this game cut it in half, unless you want to pay more money to get access to other factions.

The limited faction choice in the base game isn't even the worst part. Some of the best Commanders are only available through MXT, which determine the kind of upgrades and sometimes even the units that you can produce. They also sell "Intel Bulletins" which are straight boosts that do things like increase how fast units produce, increase accuracy, decrease cooldown, and whole host of other passive boosts. Aside from this, they have a ton of 'skins' that you can buy for different units and factions, which is stupid for an RTS. Not even counting the sheer greed factor at play, visual identification is a key element in RTS games.

Then, beyond this...if you do get curious and just want to try it out for the campaign, like I did, do not buy the DLCs. They are absolute garbage. All of the "Theater of War" missions are complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The missions force-lock you into playing as either the Soviets or Germans. The Soviet missions aren't bad, but any mission that you are playing as the Germans, get ready for some poorly balanced garbage and constantly beating your head against cheating AI and no real, meaningful way to counter their tank spam without cheesing the battles.

there is a bug on the campaign where enemy tanks became invincible and you lose almost guaranteed, they know about this for years and they haven't fixed it
