Grunt rushes are much easier to stop in W2 than in RA.  All you have to do
is put up some towers.  No one can defeat those unless they have ballistas,
which you can't build right away.  The resources in W2 are another key
point to the awesome nature of the game, if you don't manage them well you
lose.  In RA everything grows back or you can play using those stupid
crates.  What about the fact that you can ally with the computer, do force
firing and kill off all of their stuff while they are supposed to be allied
with you.  You can't even save a damn multiplayer game without spending
more money to buy their add-on.  This should have been included in the
original game.  Just another example of a software company wanting to make
money with incomplete software.
