: The controls and upgrading system feels clunky compared to its predecessor.
: Power is pretty much like regular supplies, but a bit scarcer. The

: Will try playing more....

I'm not enjoying it that much either. It feels like they made the systems complicated for the sake of being complicated, when the original game's greatest strength was being incredibly straightforward. Getting dumped straight from a tutorial video into 2v2 PvP is overwhelming and not helping matters.

Visually, the structures aren't distinctive enough. The UI is incredibly hard to read, with blues on top of blues.

Unit powers are gone. Lame.

I'm looking forward to Halo Wars: Definitive Edition more than this right now.
