    Mine will be done in about a half hour or so, yay for fileplanet paid, just started downloading like 10mins ago.

    To be honest, I couldn't get into the game at all during the MP beta. I really don't like how the game is setup, and it doesn't play at all like how I imagined it when they first announced it. So unless the SP is good, I won't be into it :|

    +1 Scavar. I actually did get to play about one round during the MP beta but I do not like how you cannot gather money like in Starcraft when you need troops and vehicles on the whim but rather, you have to wait for the money to go up, it's very annoying.

    Yet you don't know the difference between an RTS and RPG.

    Is it just my game... whenever I click on the unit to move the tanks nothing happens. The entire game for me is watching what the computer does, how do you move units around like in the tutorial?

    Ahhh got it the game doesn't become playable until you deploy your first units.

    Playing with the 8600 gt at 1440 x 900 its awesome.

    Are you running it on Max Settings in that resolution? I've got an 8700 GT so that's encouraging...

    Defeat :( couldn't break the Soviet offense...
    The game looks awsome though, reminds me of CoH somehwat, the squads are more spread out and things are more detailed.

    Camera movements seem really wierd tho...
    and the unit reinforcement thing is completely new to me but interesting o.o

    Filefront gave me 800-900 KB speed earlier. Peak times makes a big difference.

    I am 50% done off gamershell downloading at varying kbps but not a constant 280kbps down as it would be for the best possible server speed and my connection.

    I haven't played it on my notebook yet, but my desktop of course maxes it out. Game looks nice on DX9, and as it turns out I enjoy the Single Player, if maybe just because of the story/characters. I might buy it for that.
