Woohoo!

There's going to be a Ground Control 2! [warning: flash, flash, and more flash]

I regard the original as one of the best RTS games ever - a tense, atmospheric, game of small-unit tactics, with stunning graphics. It actively rewarded caution and reconnaissance (more accurately, it tore you to pieces if you charged in all guns blazing).

The add-on pack was pants (how well can you cope as the scenario lures you into ambush after ambush, repeatedly dropping numerically superior enemy forces right in the midst of or behind your formations, with no warning) but that was developed by a third party, not the original team.
