First of all, personally I love this new feature, but thinking of it carefully, I think it's an edge for experts, here's why:

You have to press SHIFT to do it. Then again, experts should have no or little trouble to remember to do this, they've got the skill and concentration to do it.

But Low inters and rookiees will find it hard to do it in tha middle of a large battle, simply because we'll forget to.

Post your thoughts.

well, only if you're into FPS will you be fully used to a combined mouse / keyboard playstyle.

yes, experts will have a slight edge, but only a slight one. I don't consider it that big an advantage; most battles tend to be a lot more simplistic than these features make them perceive to be.

No offence Compa but an expert will take an advantage on a rookie on any part of the game. That is why they are experts. The shift key is one of the few hot keys I do use so I think I will pick it up okay, and I think its a great new aspect of the game.
Instead of seeing it as another way of getting beaten by experts, why not try and get used to using it....like they do!

what's so hard about using the shift key? I use it all the time when building military units...

yes, no doubt a lot of people do. But that's in a static situation; your 'target' doesn't move as well and you simply have to mindlessly click the mouse-button while holding Shift...

Don't worry, no offense taken, I mean, I also use shift for creating military units and so. And I know experts take advantage in any aspect of the game. What I mean is experts will find it as yet another advantage while rookiees can find yet another disadvantage. My personal opinion is that it is a good feature.

Ok... here is the deal... its no more of the an advantage as shield generators or aa... its simply something that xperts will do because they are in concentration when gaming.... and n00bs either wont know of this... or they wont use it lmfao its just making the game more realistic :)
