My new most anticipated game!

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin is going to be awesome.

Not only does the series have a new looks but they retooled and refined a lot of the core mechanics.

The smartest change was the toning down of CO powers and removing the Tag CO Powers. They were just way too powerful before and most of the strategy in the previous DS game were just setting up these rapecapades. It actually killed some of the core strategy in the series.

The game will also have online battles with voice chat! Frakkin' awesome. Only thing I'm worried about is dropped connections in long battles. Hopefully they can refine the game in such a way that battles can't go on for too long.
