My impression

After only playing 3 games so far, I like the original better. Here are my reasons:

The graphics seem to “cartoony” compared to original, I liked how the original had a more realistic look to it.
The whole gameplay and moving of the screen seems heavy or sluggish, it seemed smoother in halo wars 1.
Is there going to be regular standard match, I have never been a person who liked the special game modes, I like the regular gameplay, force against force.
There should be a vs computer mode so we can practice a little bit and check out the units, map, and different strategies.

i am going to play it more until the end of the beta to get better used to it. Playing this makes me excited to see what the computer version is going to look like. I heard there is going to be a Windows 10 beta for this later, and I have preferred rts games on Windows better.

are your third and fourth points directed at the game to the Beta?

yes they are, I just heard that deathmatch is last three days, I cant wait, domination sucks. I figure deathmatch and vs comp will be in the actual game when it comes out in February.
