I came to this game hot on the coat tails of the first Ground Control and I absolutely loved the way the units and strategy was handled in that game. However, GC2 is incredibly boring and frustrating. Starting a mission and then having 40 biped mechs being launched at you every minute is insanity. I got about 5 missions into the NSA campaign and I think I'm done. With no exaggeration the enemy will spawn in unlimited units while you are stuck with using LZs that will be overwhelmed in no time. If the enemy captures your LZ while your dropship is coming in it will fly over the LZ and cry its lost. At the same time if you capture an enemy LZ and the enemy dropship comes in after its changed sides it will still land with the spongiest troops and probably really make your troops not viable in combat. All in all I'd give this game a pass. It looks great but just go play the first game if thats what you want to play.
