    I thought this game would be bad just based on graphics, and thought the trailer was cheezy. My brother and friends introduced me to it, and its actually quite fun and fast paced (each game lasts 40 mins at most, if not shorter due to noobs/rage quitters).

    Game modes can be 1 v 1, 2 v 2, 2 v 2 v 2 v 2, or 3 v 3, or 4 v 4. I think the coolest part is the Ruses, and hiding tanks/infantry/AA in the trees.

    Just today, we had our first taste playing against a lvl 39 guy (his teammates were bad though) but he started off bombing my base in the beginning when I was building tanks. I had AA's up, but he maneuvered them to take the least damage. When I stuck all my AAs in the trees to my west, he sent in recon units and heavy tanks, which pounded on that bridge for a while. Luckily, my brother and my friend hit the mid hard, where there were supplies, and massed artillery and air units so they pushed through his AA/AT defenses so he had to pull back on the west to consolidate his units.

    There is a lot of fast paced gaming in this, especially with all the decoy units/decoy attacks/blitzes/decoy bases, radio silence and camoflauge and etc... makes this game quite interesting. My friends and I use skype but its very much a game that requires a lot of coordination (they have a voice mic in game as well but its crappy and needs to be fixed).

    I was playing the earlier beta..Ive not tried it again since they have done more work on the ruses. The RUSES from the early release needed work. I still enjoyed it.
    Ill have to find some time for it again.

    I'm suddenly interested in this. I believe I'll go give it a look.
