A really good RTS game with a multiplayer open beta. You can play the tutorial and a 2-16 player match in the beta. You get 2 maps to play on, or if you preorder it you get a bonus third. The storyline is if the cold war actually ignited and didn't end in 1989. Play as either the americans or soviets. Really good RTS game, seriously go to the site and get a beta serial key before they are all gone... very limited quantities!

i checked it last week already and i didn't see anyhting that would blow my mind. sure it has nice graphics, but for strategy it's important to have good battlefield overview anyway... and i didnt' see any of that on the cool screenshots.

Well thats the idea of beta testers.

Edit:
Now that i see the specs, they may do a superior game or feel my wrath

* OS: Windows® XP, Windows Vista™ operating system
* CPU Single-core: 2. 0 GHz or faster (2. 2 GHz for Windows Vistaâ„¢)
* CPU Dual-core: Any Intel® or AMD®
* RAM: 1 GB (1.5 GB for Windows Vistaâ„¢)
* Hard Drive: 2.0 GB available hard drive space

Edit 2:
I think that i dont fully the specs, damm GeForce4. Also i will not change my OS. They can scrap the whole proyect.

@gregor: you have to play the game to understand. Never judge a game by it's screenshot!

it reminds me of a team-based myth. Its pretty fun but it seems like alot of people dont really play with teamwork in mind yet.

Impressive graphics, but that makes me wary. I'm through paying for pretty things with no substance. I'll stick with Steel Panthers: World at War and modify it if I want to do a cold war scenario.

@azraelck:

Just because it has good graphics, doesn't mean that it sucks. Take GRAW for example, just as good as the first in the series, but it has improved graphics.

Yeah, but normally games with state of the art graphics fails at basic points. Last 10 years are plenty of dumbass RTS that only raised the graphic´s standars.
