Funny finding so much interest and support in a game that is literally about building a blob and running it into your opponents blob in these forums, where seemingly 95% of the people in these forums have voiced their frustrations about blobbing in CoH2 at some point or another. But eh, Grey Goo is a very different RTS than CoH2 and they can't really be compared, so that's understandable I guess.
I've watched a little gameplay of Grey Goo and have read all the information that was available on the game's website before it launched. I honestly was interested in the game up to the point that I watched someone play it. It is exactly what they say it is, a baby of Starcraft and C&C (probably more like C&C from what I've seen). Problem with that is those games have been done before, and there is really no innovation here. The CoH franchise appeals to me, and probably to a lot of other people, too, because it takes the focus away from all the macro (Base building and resource collecting) and instead allows you to focus on map control through the use of your units. CoH was the first game to introduce me to that concept, and since then, it is what defines a good RTS for me. I've found other RTSs that are similar (like Men of War), and also found them to be more enjoyable than the traditional base building, unit spamming RTS because I had already played and enjoyed better versions of those types of games, and pretty much have had my fill.
As far as playing this game competitively, sure, I can see that. In all honesty, for a game to be "competitive" it has to be stripped down and made to be bland and symmetric, that way there is no "RnG" or wildcards that affect game play (or, everyones favorite buzzword, it has to be in perfect "Balance"). This game is in it's very early stages, so I'm sure at some point those points will be looked at critically by both devs and the gaming community.
Who am I kidding, I only typed this up to bring to light the irony of the hype of a game about building blobs in the CoH2 forums.
