I heard that they wouldn't have any buildings, and that really turned me off.
But my friend said they would in mutliplayer not just singleplayer.
So I decided to check it out.
Turns out you start with one base, and that base produces all of your units.
You get to upgrade it, there are three tiers. Tier one you start at, basic marine squad (3 people), heavy bolter marine squad (3 people), and assault marines (3)
Tier two is dreadnoughts and transports.
Tier three is predator tank.
In all there are like 8 unit types and your commander unit.
You capture requisition points, and you capture energy points, after you capture the energy point you can build a max of 3 generators around the energy point (you don't get to pick where they are build specifically).
Basically it's battles of 1-2 vehicles and maybe 5 squads. So simple.
To be fair I only played like three games and only played as the space marines, but I was too disgusted to play after that...

So no freedom at all? No building strategy? No pay off of buildings versus troops, teching versus rush versus economy? Armies not big enough for multiple fronts? No flanks, sneak attacks, etc.?
All this, plus no Tau? Please let it not be true. Such high hopes, dashed, gone forever into the uncaring abyss.
