How did you play a match? If you played beta, then well, it's beta!
Telling us not to buy a game way prior to it's release, and heck, forming an opinion about something so early isn't fair to the game.
EA is a horrible producer, I agree.
However, I was a huge fan of CnC Generals so I have the inherent bias to at least try every CnC game after it.
That said, tiberium warfare was horrible >_>
