The guy didn't even spell "Guinness" properly in his sig, which is tantamount to sacrilege.

My main concern in this area is that CM2 will be, by all accounts, evolutionary, not revolutionary. A large amount of the attention CM received in the press was because of its revolutionary design. It's always tough to follow up on a masterpiece with a sequel. (Not to mention the "sophomore jinx.") A related concern is graphics: we hear they'll be improved over CM, but frankly I doubt they'll compare to the best of last fall's games graphically, let alone the ones that will be out this fall. Graphics do matter, particularly in a game that thrives on its 3D battlefield and free camera. And for those who always say it's too hard to represent lots of units on screen at once, check out games like Serious Sam or Sacrifice for proof otherwise. Read up on the polys they'll be able to push with the Unreal II engine. More examples abound. Still, I can't wait for CM2!
