Apprently the first review has pretty much raped the game they say it is a disaster from the singleplayer to the shoddy multiplayer ;/

 

[Overdriven]

HOPING that I don't have to have the previous games installed when I buy this.. Considering I uninstalled every game I owned last night.

A review of a game that's not even been released to beta yet? And isn't due for proper release until the latter end of February at the earliest? Yeah, that sounds like it will be a reliable source of information.

i always take beta reviews with a pinch of salt.

I found my copy of soulstorm yay! took some finding apparently I must have used it as a place mat as theres a ring of tea on the cover lol.

I liked Soulstorm but went back to Dark Crusade.

 

[Mabs]

soulstorm was made of gay and fail, mostly

SoB are mint, rest is cack, the aircraft are a joke

 

[PLightstar]

The Aircraft was pretty poor like flying pea shooters and about as much armor as a paper airplane.

[Jaberwocky]

I just gave it a quick whirl, I was a bit limited by time since I'm meant to be writing a few reports up, but my god this seems like a damn fine game.

I think we're on to a winner here lads.

 

[Ch3tan]

Fucking Steam. £34.99 for this. Or £24.99 from GAME with limited edition DLC.

 

[Mabs]

windows live friends name : Lindraskada if anyone fancies a go, poke me

 

[Ch3tan]

I've only managed to play one game, 3 v 3 team game, was awesome. Keeps the best bits from dow and does away with base building. Superb.
