Ok all, this is a new game that is a RST but not. It's more Tactial and has none got to build building and gather resources to make units nonsense. It is in Beta now which you can get from File planet even with a free accout.

What is really cool and different about the game is that there are 4 "disciplines" or "classes" to choose from with them being Infantry, Armor, Air and Support. So basically you pick one and focus your units on that particular type though you can order some unit s from the other types it is usally not a good idea as it cost you more than it does someone from that discipline. For example as Armor I can order in some Anti Air vechiles, which is a support class unit, and it cost me 1000 and I can only order a Med while a support player can get a Heavy AA for 900 and Med's for 650. support can also order artillery while I cant as armor order any.

The servers as of right now are all 16 vs 16 so you can get several types of each class on each side. This is going to be a killer Clan type game as it takes real team work to be successful. As each class is vulnerable to certain other classes and/or units ie Tanks are vulnerable to Heavy Attack Choppers so they need some AA support. Another thing that is interesting is that as one player you not going to be ordering in lots of units to keep track of but really only like 4 to 6 or so but you basically keep reinforcing them.

So  if you like Strategy type game I highly recommend this one. I made a ~wOw~ clan in the game so if you come aboard let me know and I send ya an invite.

 

P.S. They have Tatical Point so you can call in air stikes, naplam and even Tactial Nukes FTW1111

Sounds like it is certainly worth a test drive!

LoL - All I  can say is don't download anything with "closed beta" in it..  Download the open beta (if you do net search / torrent)..  The current release, and what they are giving keys out for is the open beta!!  Spent like 2 days pondering and trying everything only to finally come to the realization (after suspecting corrupt downloads like 3 times) that I had the WRONG file, lol...  Will be trying it out tonight.

YIKES!  Thanks for the heads up!  I would have lost patience trying to figure that out.

Speaking of losing patience, when I first saw this on File Planet I signed up for it but when I went to download it they didn't have the client at File Planet. You had to download it from a link they sent ya in the confirmation email and the Transfer rate was capped really low, like I  think my average was 75k. So I just canceled the download and chalk it up to something I might look at when they get a demo or something. A week or so later I was at fileplanet geting some other Betas when i decided to dl this as I was going to be spending most of the day downloading stuff aways. It took about 6 hrs or so to download it.

Boy am I glad I did get it though..... me and rez have been playing a cpl 1v1games trying to learn the game a little better and its been a blast. Though I think that it will be even better when we can get several of us working together playing on one side. So everyone hurry up and get this...

Sorry I missed you guys last night.  I was overcome by real life.  I'll keep trying to catch up with y'all.

BTW... which class do you two prefer?  I'd like to make a niche with one that you guys aren't playing.

I like them all but haven't play much as Infantry as they die way to easily wheen caping CP's. What would be a killer 3 man grouping would be 1 Support with repair and AA, 1 Armor with Med Tanks to cap CP's, use Willey Peat for Infantry and take out opfor AA and I Air with Heavy Choppers to do the tank busting. If we had a fourth then I would say a second support for more repair and Artillery.

 

But Houston we gots a problem...........    Beta is over so next up is the Demo and then the Release shortly after.

I was wondering about that!  I sent a mail because I didn't see anything saying it ended but when I tried to log in, it kept saying, "there's a problem with your beta key"..  Had no clue it ended
