I prefer this type of gameplay in a multiplayer RTS. None of the resource gathering required to make an army. Also you are only given a small number of units and have to rely on your team to support you. And since you only control a small amount of units, the enemy has the same thing so you rarely see idle units which is excellent!
The only con I have against the game is the lack of unit types.
All in all, it's a wicked step forward for RTS games!
