ok
I would love to give this mod a higher rating (probably a 9 or 9.5) but I can't due to the bugs I consistently experience. Every time I start to get into the late game (about 25-30 minutes each time), the mod freezes and I have to ctrl-alt-del and force quit the game. I have not pirated the game (I bought BFME2 and ROTWK the days that they shipped), so I'm not experiencing the antipiracy glitch.
The units look really good and I haven't noticed any real balance issues. The new heroes and the revisions to the heroes have been done really well. And the way that units have been implemented are also very cool and fun to experiment with. But I don't have much time to do it since the game freezes and I cannot even finish the match...
