WIC closed beta test
http://www.gamespot.com/event/codes/...-beta/?tag=cmb
Seems that you don't need to be a paying member or anything. Just can't have a real dog of a system. I have been waiting for this game for awhile.

This is going to be a competition game in CAL. It will be interesting to see how it plays for a current RTS.

Yea, thats always why they have FEAR (back) in CAL now. A game which requires very little skill if you have the dualies. 
Ahh  sticks so I just go the "This is not a valid Win32 app" anyone else get this and have a fix? Or am I better of re'dling

I had no problems with the torrent
http://beta.massgate.net/download_wic/
Just click mirror 3. Upwards of 400KB/s download speed with this method, instead of gamespot's crappy 30

Graphics are pretty nice. The gameplay is just STUPID. A join whenever you want multiple player team v team RTS game? I played for a bit and it seems pretty unbalanced to. Infantry was pretty useless. They move uber slow and get raped by air and tanks.
Maybe it's fun but this looks like a horrible competition game. I think I'm just playing it like a full fledges RTS game when it's really not. There's no base building or anything normal in an RTS.

i dont think you fully understand the game yet. infantry u can pick anti air and anti tank and they rape the out tanks and air exspecially when in the woods or in buildings. i like this game cuase its alot quicker unlike generals and red alert where u had to build a huge base and the game could take like 30mins to an hour.

Alright, I played some more last night and I can tell you now this a different "breed" of RTS. In what can only be described as "BF2 during the cold war in an RTS"
The graphics are the best I have seen for any RTS to date (excluding SC2 )
The game play is different; To me this feels like an evolution of RTS if you will.
for example when "War Hammer 40k: Dawn of War" was released it was new and different and helped evolve the genre.
Ill get some 1680x1050 in game SS up tonight.

you running the DX10 mode right?
Man so wish I had a DX10 card.... Not as if I can't afford it, but I dont want first launch crap stuff (my X1900XTX was a launch card and it sucks at overclocking and is generally poor)....

There's a DX10 mode? I guess I need vista...
1680*1050 max everything 16x AA 16x AF
I didn't play generals much but SC and WC3 certainly aren't slow, you start fighting 3-4 minutes into the game and it's 100x more skill and strategy oriented. I'm just not liking this no base building team play thing... What you guys are calling evolution is a disgrace to an amazing game genre to me.
