I didn't play HW1 or cataclysm, so I can't compare them, but I enjoyed HW2. I was pleasantly surprised that a 3D RTS was so easy to control, I was worried that it'd be near to impossible to get your units to go where you wanted.
It was always about the small craft for me, I hated waiting so long for battlecruisers to be built. Being able to let half the craft in a group be destroyed, then rebuilt for free was really useful, esp. when I micromanged them and rotated damaged groups out to be repaired while the ones in good shape kept fighting. I thought the frigates were too weak, though, in that game at least. I never had much use for them beyond a couple flak or assult frigate to protect capital ships from small craft, and half the time I didn't even bother, and just used fighters.

phasers on the Heffalump. Piglet, meet me in transporter room
three. Christopher Robin, you have the bridge."
