    MMM, this is the new starcraft right now. It has the feel and balance of the old Terran/toss/zerg matchups. It also the macromanagement feel of starcraft also.

    The interface is GREAT btw. You can group rally points with units, single right click allows firing while moving, double right click is a straight up move order.

    Just a plug for a game if you need a serious RTS fix. Company of Heros just isn't cutting it anymore.

    So can you still play this game over the internet or does it require a LIVE subscription to play others online?

    You can play with other people for free (silver) or if you want a ladder style conquer the world mode and ranked games you need Gold. This actual works well for me because I have a 360 too so i just use my Gold account from there :)
