Beta over. Final verdict: BWUuuuuh? by FABIO 02/18/2009, 3:11pm PST
The team games with friends were fun. There are only going to be like 7 maps in the final game, but they're all well designed. Just big enough that several fronts of fighting open up, but not big enough that you feel disconnected from any of them.


That said, it feels like you have very little choice in tech tree or army composition. There's usually one "correct" choice for each army. Two of the armies aren't even worth upgrading to tier 3. Tyranids dominate tier 1 through exploits. Eldar require them to even be competitive. The retail version is going to remove all Eldar exploits with no buffs in return while keeping Tyranid ripper capping.


Holding off on purchasing, keeping an eye on future patches and pricing.
