The main problem is that it's also hard as a motherfuck if you don't have a lot of RTS experience. I'm a pretty avid gamer, but I've pretty much quit playing about 2/3 through the Terrans section (first part of the game) because of the difficulty. I know that sounds pathetic, but I simply don't have time to spend 5+ hours on ONE mission in the game. It's quite annoying when you have to start a level over from scratch because you unforeseenly fucked up in the beginning.

It's "old-school" challenging, but that's not necessarily a good thing in some situations. I can only imagine how hard the game is towards the end.

FYI: I've never played RTS before.
