It's in beta over on FilePlanet now for subscribers. I've been having a blast playing it, its a bit different from the standard RTS. When the arty goes off your screen smashes around, when there are battles off in the distance you can hear muffled gunfire. It really keeps you on your toes as well and there isnt to much mico-managment.
If you are a subscriber give it a try :p

I'll just add that this game rocks. it combines the best of Dawn of War and Command and Conquer styles.
I didnt think anyone cared so I never posted about it. but its fun definatly watch out for the free demo when it drops.

Yep, just about everything is. Tanks drive right through fences, trees. Sometimes the tanks drive through to much stuff :lol:

The second one. It was so good, that I get bored of other strategy games too quickly now.

I am a person who loves WWII games, but I feel that the market is way too oversaturated. I know it is one hell of a war, to make a game out of, but they need to slow down a bit. And they are basically 3 word game titles. Call of Duty, Brother in Arms, Company of Heroes, Faces of War, blah blah blah, blah blah blah. I wouldn't mind seeing a new WWII game with atleast 4 words to the title.
Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing a WWI game.
Venting...Done.

The whole WWI thing has been debated and would largely... how shall I put it... SUCK!

For those playing they have released an update on fileplanet.
Apparently there were to many changes (there were a ton, check the beta forums) for them to do a patch so you have to re-download the file.

Anyone with a FP sub want to let me barrow it? :D
Giovanni

Uh, that's still faster than anything I've ever downloaded... Seems no matter where I go, the ISP I choose is the slow one :(
Giovanni

Indeed I hate fileplanet... best I ever got on there was 650kb/s
OneManArmy
2006-07-29, 10:49 AM
yea thats usually my max anywhere from 650-750 but thats faster than any other place I try from so it keeps me happy.

usually I get between 800-1100, but sinc ethey added the auto select fastest server, whatever one they pick is usually slower.

I've NEVER had more then 40kbs.... Fast is like 3 hours at least for this beta for only 20 minutes of gameplay.. :(

They probably added the auto select so that they could select the slow server for everyone.
