I am so sorry, for all of you feeling disappointed. I can understand how you must be feeling after one of your favourite/childhood game successors gets such an overhaul.
That said, this game is set to support Co-Op. I can't really imagine how a RTwP co-op experience would be, other than very messy. Are there any fun RTwP co-op games out there?
"Overhaul" is putting it mildly.

To add my own tongue-in-cheek contribution to this thread, I'd far rather they craft a terrific single-player experience instead of coming up with half-baked single-player and multi-player modes.
