I thought Ground Control was some show on BBC where people fix up your lawn and stuff, and it's a surprise to the person in your family that you are doing it for while they are away on some trip or something?

Thats ground force.
In the end it doesn't matter if you are who you say you are. You will still mean nothing to me.
When i have kids, everytime i drive past a fast food restaurant, im gonna punch my kid in the face, then they'll never wanna come..

I was playing online last night, and it is truely amazing. Me and my (human) teamate were being owned big time on the frontline map, and we had all of our units at our last LZ. We defended it till 2 AM in the morning (three hour long game) and finally, we won. I got a chance to take down the guy's dropship, and I took his LZ, and the guy's teamate left to his mommy. We won big time, and it was REALLY fun. This has been the best RTS game I've played since Command & Conquer. Even with these great graphics, I expected to get very low FPS, but I was at 20 - 40 fps, which wasn't bad, and it never dropped below 15. Infact, it even had anti-aliasing on 2x.

I found a couple of bugs:
- A couple of times it told me I couldn't move somewhere but when I clicked several time manually I was able to.
- Additionally units get "stuck" sometimes and have to be manually moved.
- Bridges don't work well, I kept finding the camera dropping below the bridge so I couldn't see my units.
- Additionally when the camera was "under" the bridge I was able to see shadows on the ground directly under the bridge (the shadows should have been on the bridge).
- There is also a bug after the cinematics are played the right click gets screwed up.
- The AI is terrible (almost as good as Renegade) the most laughable case was when I had a large force hiding over a hill and the computer kept sending units over the hill, after they "saw" my force they took fire from my vehicles then retreated, however as they retreated they lost sight of my units so then they went back over the hill again.
Net result they kept running back and forth taking shots from my vehicles until they were all dead.

I downloaded the demo and didn't find it was half bad... I didn't like the way the camera worked, and I really disliked the mouse controls... If it worked like C&C, I'd probally consider buying the game... I guess I need to get online and try a MP game and see how it plays with the total unit arsenal
