I've been keeping my eye on this one also, I pre-ordered it from GameStop but how do I get the beta demo and account privileges?

I am downloading the free beta client from file planet now. The main site lists several sites that offer downloads, I assume those sites also issue you the beta keys to register the beta client.

Hey Dave and Napalm, next time you fire up WiC jump on TS in the Strategy channel. I am sure I will need some help with this one.

After reading a little more on this one, I think I'm going to pass on it. It seems like it is a faster paced real time strategy game (someone playing the demo please correct me if I'm wrong) that is very similar to Company of Heroes. I bought and tried CoH but did not enjoy it.

Same here Balti, after I read upon it a little more I decided to cancel my pre-order because it seems very similar to CoH which I was not a big fan of...mainly because I've never been able to get into strategy games.

It is a new twist on real time strategy. The level of detail is amazing when you zoom in really close but it is still a grab a group of unit move here, attack here, defend here. Use specific units to counter the opponents specific units. The big twist in multiplayer is that more than one player can control asets on the same side. The teamwork comes in when one person is controlling ground forces, one air forces, and another is providing support/supply. I am sure it could get crazy to coordinate it all but probably like in PR very satisfying when it works. I think at most there can be 3 players on each side and the games can last hours.

Just my 2 cents based on the time I spent with the beta.

I downloaded it and played online several times and it is fun. It plays alot like Company of Heroes. What is wild is others from around the world can join your team and you must work together to take over the control points. The game supports Vista and XP and both DirectX 9 and 10. You will fall off your chair when someone drops a nuclear bomb on your forces!
