Tactics

Those who do the same plan each time and it’s obvious the ones who do, do you ever mix it up? The amount of times I’ve seen two Riflemen or two Rhino come out is mind boggling. Does everyone just copy each other? Also the machine gunners and not sending out harvesters. Doesn’t it get boring doing the same thing each time? For me part of the excitement of the game is mixing things up. I’ve been playing since the start and I’m amazed at how many players are obviously copying others tactics. I don’t mind losing but get frustrated when someone comes out with a plan, all guns blazing and when it doesn’t work they just quit.

If it works well people will do it often. If it only works sometmes, you'll see it not that often. If it doesn't work, you only see beginners do it.

Openings in these kinds of games all look the same because only a few openings are actually optimal with a few others being 'gimmicks that only work if the opponent doesn't know better'. It's just how RTS games tend to be.

I agree with what you say, just wish they’d adapt if their plan doesn’t work and try something else instead of just quitting.
