i've been playing the MP beta mostly, its alot of fun, but it is quite an extreem in micromanagement, don't know how long MP will keep my interest...

Didnt try out the demo, played the MP beta to death though, had over 40 games under my belt within the first week, very fun game.

Yeah. Really liking it. Have noe pre-ordered the Limtied Ed. from game.co.uk.

Really tough game though.

As far as WW2 RTS games go, this is the best I've tried, good fun, plenty of gameplay even in just the demo.

I preordered aswell, didnt really know anything about it other than that it's semi similar to dawn of war and that ign gave it 9.4/10..... Gonna wait for the real game to come, couldnt be bothered with a demo.

Excellent game. Had many a multiplayer versus mates in TiG. Excellent game. Haven't played the SP, but I plan to once I can.

The more i play this, the more it reminds me of the Close Combat series of games. It isn't as realistic obviously, but it is bringing RTS games closer to something that does require strategy, cause with RTS games in general, build orders, hot keying and rushing are not strategy.

I saw that Eurogamer gave it 10/10. We'll have to get some mp games of this started over at Darkkeep.com methinks

Just upgraded my pc last nite to XP from win2000 in order to play this game, thats how much I like it

Looks amazing on the high spec pc and with options turned down it still looks decent and plays well with a decent framerate on the older pc upstairs which is an old P4 2.4, 1.5GB Ram, 128M Radeon 9600 Pro.

According to some website's performance preview of the game, the game was only pulling 40 fps on a 7900GTX and an FX-62 when everything was turned to max at 1600x1200. Pretty graphically intense game.

They had mouse-over screenshot comparisons between Low quality textures and Ultra quality textures and I honestly thought that they looked as good as each other though

got the SP demo, seems pretty intense.I very pleased with the AI, but I was wondering how the AI stud up in the MP demo, because typically after the missions are gone in RTS's you might as well use the game as a coaster. But from the looks of it, it has real on-line MP potential.
