and a rewarding gameplay. I play RTS games for Multi-player alone, i play teh caimpaign for about 2-3 missions to get the hang of the game, after that im all multi-player. And believe this game was designed with multiplayer in mind.

Each race is very distincted. there are many tactics and build orders for each race, and forces are well mixed due to in game mechanics.

they also re-did the interface for online, and its quite easy and fun to use. they are having some "connection issues" but BHG is working on it and it should be all sorted out by the 23rd ( wwl date )

if you are looking for a BALANCED fun Multi-player experience... get this ASAP!
