here is why:

First and foremost the online game is very, very slow, the remedy suggested
by the
imbeciles from EA - blame the ISP, which is bullshit.
In the world of programming when you write applications you have to take
into
consideration the constraints of existing infrastructure, real world, not
some
bullshit imaginary scenario which does not exist, however, they would not
know
about it.

from time to time the game,  slows down to a crawl - why, this issue has
never been
addressed until now, I do not know.

besides the fact that the units available to some "Generals" are mismatched,
the number of
"splash" screen one has to go is unreal, 5 and some instances 6 to get to
the online option of
game.

Due to the fact that the program wastes and uses so much memory is something
which leads me
to believe that it has been written by idiots.

Recommendation: do not waste your money, like I did.
