Any of you fine chaps have a cd key that you don't want anymore? I'd love to try the beta but they're out of keys

The tutorial levels are nothing like the SP that is in the demo that's on this months PC Gamer. Also, any game that scores a 96 in Gamer is a must buy.

You had sticky select on. Turn it off in the options.

The tutorial levels in the MP beta sort of serve as a sampling of the SP.

I am looking forward to this one but want to sample the single-player first. And I was hoping to get my hands on a single-player demo before buying this one. From the sound of it at least one of you has already played it single-player...

"DoW was a much better game, IMHO. Its storyline was much better... "

Myself I haven't played through the "storyline" of a RTS since Warcraft II. I prefer to play skirmishes or different scenarios on different maps. But I would have to disagree that the story of WWII isn't "much better" since in most cases these games are using actual history for their storyline. But then it is all a matter of opinion.

If you're not tired of the WW II genre games and you like RTS this is a great game. I just hope they have a speed slider so that I can slow the game down a bit more.

"either a lot of fun or an unplayable mess."

from the times, I have played it I wish unit control was better, having to jump around the map and not be able to select or deselect units easily was a pain in the ass. I often sent units retreating that I wasn't trying to.

Maybe I need more time but the command and control system seems wanting.

DoW was a much better game, IMHO. Its storyline was much better and hadn't been beaten in to the ground like a thousand other WW2 RTSes have done to the strategy genre.

How about we stop rehashing a war where most of the survivors are now long dead and bring out a Homeworld 3 that is just as good as the first?

I've heard polarised views on the demo, either a lot of fun or an unplayable mess. Interested in hearing peoples views on this one, using Dawn of War as your yardstick!

Beta was a lot of fun. Can't wait to play this fully on LAN.
