Ive played the AI quite a few times now, and played one online game. Quite enjoy it, ment to be a patch out soon which should be nice, ive found several bugs without trying :/

Anyone that played the 'ol warcraft/starcraft will probably like it too.

Finished it, was fun for a single player RTS game, if a little short.

It finishes in a place which pretty much guarantees a sequel or expansion though.

hehe yeah big time, at least half of the game seems to be the skirmish/mp side.. as you then get to do more battles but with other teams

Sp was ok I didnt find it too short really, as it was pretty dull anyway.

MP wise ive played a few games with Verp, its not bad, it was always going to be limited being based on 40k. Id rather play the tabletop version any day really, if I hadnt of sold all my nice figures that is.

There are plenty of older RTS games that can still produce a more interesting mp game.

Cant say im dissapointed with it though, its pretty much what I expected.

One plus point it does have however, is it aint as bad as Ground Control 2.
