If you don't mind buying a game, then I highly recommend Guild Wars. The game has no monthly fees, a great online community (there's even a Guild Wars Wikipedia), solid gameplay, and awesome environments.
Tau are easily the best race. They look cool, they have really nice guns, and they're the least overblown race in Dark Crusade. Their playing style also fits with mine, since I prefer to fight defensively/at range.
This is some of the best news I've heard in a long time. DoW is, in my opinion, one of the best franchises out there. I'm also glad that it seems to be returning to the series' roots, since some of the departures (*cough*soulstorm*cough*) didn't work out so well. All of the info so far indicates to me that this game will earn an immediate spot on my shelf.
A note on the Tyranids: as I recall, the reason Relic didn't put them in the first series is that they wanted the game not to look like a Starcraft rip-off. Given all of the SC2 hype flying around, I think it's pretty reasonable that Relic would want to avoid making a game that looks like a SC2 clone. I'll be very happy if the Tyranids are included, but I won't be all "WTF WERE R TEH TYRANIDS?!!~1"
