[quote]with the current info level, I doubt that many people will find entrenchment not worth the 10 $.[/quote] Yeah, I was first a bit concerned about that (still I preordered right away) but it looks like it will be a very nice expansion that is worth its money. This could really make me rethink my stance on micro expansions (though still not on DLC in general).

I'd say if the balance allows, the

Looks nice. Video following fighters is always pretty. Reminds me of that video I posted once in beta 3, wonder if that is still on youtube. Oh, and the explosions still look nice. :) Though I wonder why the circle like explosion shockwave still is used... does a spherical shockwave just look bad? (Nitpicking ;) ) Btw. that ohh, ohh sound of the nukes should really get a lower priority, it covers almos
