Yeah, again, I just wasn't that impressed. I mean, it's not bad, it's fun playing with your friends, but then any game is fun playing with your friends.

Hmm, this is interesting and will definitely change some elements of the game. I don't think there's enough focus on melee combat in the game, especially as a sound tactical choice. I've also heard there are some annoying AI bugs related to it, such as units preferring to fire weapons rather than engage in melee where they'd be more effective (some even fire weapons at targets out of range, especially with flamers).

That's a point - at least the sides are markedly different, although I personally find the Edlar and Chaos forces just annoying to manage, due in no small part to the voice acting which I find cheesy at best throughout.
