For someone thats never been a big fan of click fest RTS games, I am sure loving both World in Conflict, and CoH: Opposing Fronts... still fast paced, click fest...but manageable and fun. not to mention the audio and video are fantastic... still wish for a little more realism in the tactics and distance thou... tanks engaging each other 10 yards apart, not realistic or very tactical... but still fun, and GREAT MP modes.
