True.
I would not say it's a clone, it's the nature of the genre. I was never that keen on AOE though, it's alright but only alright. However, AOE III took some interesting steps and was quite more advanced than the others so I had hoped the franchise would head in that direction but instead it looks like they are turning the game into a cartoon.

I understand that and it's why I don't like Squad much. Too much doing nothing, too much communication required, too much larping, people either take the game far too seriously or mess about while they wait in a trench and there is no progression.
However, Enlisted was in a position where it could have bridged the gap between the two as it was meant to have more realism and the squad system would have actually worked really well on huge maps, you would have the AT, Sniper, engineer etc all under the command of the player, matches could have far more soldier in them and if you die you can just play as another soldier in the squad, it doesn't have the frustration squad has of waiting for medics if there are any or respawning all the way back at base and walking back again. But instead it went for the COD route.
