I'd say wait for the game to hit $10 or lower if you want to pick up a game that will keep your attention for maybe 20 hours of gameplay.
EDIT: Before anyone gets upset at me, siege kits are not a tech tree, researching something once to build a building, and then researching again, is not a tech tree, and is also the most diverse tech in this game. Guessing the developers are unimaginative.

I'd agree. Comming is 90% placing buildings with little actual strategy. Its more a FPS+Dynamic Buildings rather than a FPS/RTS hybrid.
The maps look really nice and the gameplay is just fun, the shooter is a bit of a hybrid between oldschool and newstyle.
You need persistent aim to take down an enemy like in oldschool games with a bit of a more fast killing tactical twist to it like counterstrike.
The com is mainly about building, yes, but without a com you will lose horribly, you need him to build powerlines, forward bases, defences and such, and with good team frontlines keep shifting quite a bit.
The com can also give out orders to squads or players on the field so its still a RTS
Unlike Kalabalana i actually enjoy the assault class the most, the assault rifle can pretty much kill anything except buildings (exo being a bit of an iffy spot, with their 600 hp they only go down if you get the drop on them)
Overall i cant say its a bad game, does need some more patching and some extra tech added, thats true.
The Exo is a bit OP, he has 600 hp and the best anti-infantry or best anti-building weapon ingame.
Downside is, if you pick siege tech which is meant vs buildings, you also pretty much can dominate players with it IF you can hit with it, the 2nd strongest class, the assault with only 200hp dies in 2 shots of that, while the lighter classes like the support (150) or stealth (100) die in 1.
the weapons both teams have are different, as are the buildings.
The line about them being the first reall FPs/RTS however is bull######, but besides that its still not bad
My issue is with them claiming to be the first FPS/RTS, which is not only complete bs, but their game itself in it's current state isn't up to snuff with other FPS/RTS games. It's like someone organizing an amateur basketball league for kids, saying it's the first ever true basketball league (With NBA fans looking at that person like they are a moron).
The way the HUD sprites curve inwards as if they're on your helmet is cool, though.
I think the objective of killing it has long gone.
Now there's kicking just to giggle when the squishy bits jiggle.
Edit: Unintentional rhyme. Rapmaster N in the house!
I just have to say, that's really catchy.

Sorry if i got it wrong but as i understood you said the soldier/assault class weapons arent that usefull anymore in lategame, something i disagree with.
Didnt mean to say you didnt like the game, just that what i said above (although as assault vs a team of exo's is a pain)
My brain is melt.
