I hate this game. It's nothing but a head ache to me. The graphics are great, the sound is great, the terrain is great..... but the gameplay sucks. I can't stand RTS games where all you do is point and click. Atleast in C&C you build bases and units. In AVPE, you buy units that get air dropped to you (human) and thats it. Not to mention how the flame throwing units kill more of their own people then the enemy. Bottom line is that this game just doesn't have anything that you can sink your teeth into. It's so frustrating too. You can get lost in spots for DAYS. You have to guess what to do next half of the time and just hope your right. The charector models are the only thing that even remotely connects this with the other AVP games. EA, stop making these stupid side projects and make AVP 3 already. Stick with what works and stop trying to pedal us with these terrible excuses for games.
