Personally I had hoped Relic would expand on the planetary battle concept. Would have loved to have a dynamic campaign and the ability to use my own painted army rather then the lousy blood (s)eagles all the darn time.
I also don't mind the idea of possessing units and playing them with in a RTS. It can be fun and can turn the tide of battle (especially in dungeon keeper 1&2). Heroes wasn't a bad idea either for Warcraft 3, and added another layer to the game.
I don't mind variations, as they can help keep the gendre interesting and alive. I mean otherwise we would be playing basicly the same thing game after game, just with different names and graphics.
Btw personaly I like massive rts games like Supreme Commander hard to beat maps 80x80km or larger, and with hundreds of different units covering air, land, and sea, plus extensive base building options.
As far as I know, you can't pilot the tanks in the new COH game, just move the turrets around (which is kind of useless). At least that is according to what I read.
