Cool the anger guys, we have every right to make design change decisions and not always privy to explain them forthright. What you should be asking yourself first is, am I having fun without walls...
From what I can tell, only the people in this thread are really making an issue out of it, simply because they are not there.
The reality is, yes, we made a late design decision not too long ago to take out walls from multiplayer. We will explain this further in the upcoming podcast, but we found after extensive testing that walls were being hardly used and didn't suit the gameplay style, the fast paced feel, they became more of a nuance than an actual enhancing gameplay feature.
We knew this would be a sore point to begin with for some players, but ultimately, we felt it was best for the gameplay.
That said, I would like to let you know that we have left the wall logic IN for modders so when the game ships, if you want to download a mod with walls, you'll be able to do so. Walls are also involved in single player because they play a component in various base designs in certain missions, but for a team who has played this game for thousands upon thousands upon thousands of hours, we truly felt walls were not proving valuable.
Your base defenses should absolutely be cheap enough for you to protect key structures. And furthermore, letting an engineer rush in to your base is a traditional C&C tactic that you need to find better ways to protect against. Its certainly not an easy tactic and if you let it happen, then you've made some serious mistakes.
We will detail more specifically in the upcoming podcast.

Kaum einer benutzt sie in Laddergames, aber in fun Games waren sie manchmal ganz lustig... Na da bin ich mal auf die Begründung gespannt.
