I hate resource management/base building, so I loved the idea of the SP. I wish they had removed it from multiplayer too, but whatever :P
I played with the Tyranids vs. one easy tyranid. I was "getting" into the game so I had my leader (my god how slow) and 2 other squads and tried to get in his base haha from there the game almost went downhill, he had like 5 squads waiting there. and looks like the AI rather lose a point than the squad. I pushed one of his squads out of a point and he waited there. I didn't go after the squad to kill them neither he tried to stop me from capturing the point.
later I'll play with the Space Marines which I at least know the units from Dawn of War
anyway, I don't think I'll buy it.. and Gears of War was really a great buy :P
the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
