Recently there has been developed the "VALVE" system of game timing, in which how one performs in an early part of the game determines the speed or pressure of subsequent assaults. If that isn't applied to this remake, the time will come when the people who played this game when it first came out will no longer be able to.
Do you mean the gamers are currently degrading into dumblivion?
Well, SC2 (UQM) is meant to be tough, and so it is.
If someone wants a-cute-boring-3D-same-plot-and-GFX-everytime simulator, he must go and buy few DVDs from a local store. It doesn't matter which one he buys, they are all essentially the same. UQM is a different (that's why it's still popular, after so much years have passed).
