Game looks great. They aren't being as ambitious with multiplayer as they are single-player, but the focus on less base building and more on the commanders and unit upgrades should be really cool.

Beta is now up on Steam for people with Soulstorm. If you don't already have it, they've discounted it to $7.50 so you'll be tempted to get in on the beta a week before everyone else without it.

Add me. Let's play.

I've got an hour left on the download but when I finish I'm down for that.

You guys can add me as well. I am only at 2% right now and it is crawling along at 80kb/s, lol. Might be awhile

laggy menus and it seems to be unstable, as it has already locked up on me once. Also the matchmaking is less that satisfactory.

It's out today?

Jeez, don't bother. My system just locked up again and this time I couldn't even crt-alt-del out, I had to turn off my power strip. Plus there are some feggits that are playing the game at too high settings for their system, so you'll get major lag even though the distinguished mentally-challenged fellows are constantly reminded when it says "Player X is causing lag by playing at too high settings" in text in the game. At least the one on one is pretty clean, but more players than that and you're in for a lag fest

[FatalT]

I'm not having any problems with it at ultra settings. My only complaint is that it feels completely different than what I'm used to. No base building? Weird.

[Kestastrophe]

I am not having problems myself, but then again I am defaulting to medium settings. I keep getting alerts that other players are playing at too high settings and its causing lag.

[FatalT]

Anyone on that wants to play? Let's do some team matchmaking.

Alright, well I officially suck. I had a group of 3 eldar walkers together, with upgraded weapons, and at full health. I thought I would be all but invincible, since whenever I encounter one I get cornholed, and within 20 seconds my entire group of walkers is taken out by a small handful of infantry. I just don't get it  :'(

haven't played DOW2 yet, but in DOW1 infantry based anti-vehicle is serious business. Also, shuriken cannons on those wraithlords >>>>> brightlances when dealing with infantry. backing up your vehicles with anti-infantry support like banshees might also be a good idea.

Damn, well the Ork warboss is by far the best hero that I've played and I discovered a decent strategy. Don't bother spawning any infantry until you level up your base and then spawn some walkers and tankbustaz. killer do far
