CNC:NET is different from xwis alot, but in this topic I'd like to focus on actual gameplay only.
From my experience so far "delay" seems to not exist at all anymore. This downgrades the "guard" ability of units and makes micro control that much more important. I'm a micro intensive player so I love it even though I still have to get used to this. Also engs are that much more valuable without delay. Just think of all the times you ordered the eng correctly and watched it move one second later into an exploding building.
In my opinion it has the most impact on infantry though. With delay being gone infantry builds so much faster and you can have the same amount you used to build in the time of 2 1/2 refs (standard 3 ref infs diz bo) by the time you placed your second ref or even earlier. This can effect the game in many ways, but probably it's just something I worry about as I'm stuck in my old ways
Feel free to add anything else you can think of!
