Command & Conquer 4

[Scramble]

I see it's just been released on steam. Has anyone had a chance to give it a go yet, and does it improve on C&C3 at all?

I also noticed that it requires a 'persistent internet connection'. How many people will be put off by this?

According to PC Gamer, via Metacritic
A nasty catch to playing C&C4 is having to log into EA’s servers before launching the game, even for single-player. Considering that EA recently shut down servers for the less than two-year-old Mercenaries 2, I’m not enthusiastic about buying a product that depends on active servers to play. The multiplayer battles are good enough fun once you’ve ranked up, but a potentially short-lived service is a dagger dangling over our heads.

Even if that doesn't bother you, the reviews have been pretty bad.
