As an old gamer that played HW1 I know it was the best RTS ever made more so than SC1. But unfortunately Relic suck at marketing and dont use the franchise (nor COH) to its full potential. I also know many HW players that said it could easily rival SC1 but only many years later ppl discover the gem it was (or what HW2/HW3 could have been to rival SC2/SC1).
You know Relic, nor for that matter SEGA, even own the Homeworld IP anymore?
Not One Step Back and Urban Assault were terribly game breaking in testing, I'd agree with Hale in saying that the game is better without them.
On topic, are people actually upset that those who missed out on CAS Doctrine and Advanced Warfare get a chance to get them again? Sure, I would have liked new commanders too, but the amount of people who missed out on these two commanders is a little insane... plus the new skins look sweet.
