Some people in the chat have said that they are working on the servers so problems may be gone in the next few days. We can only hope.

Once you have downloaded the beta you need a key from here
Yeah but whenever I request one it always says the same which is this:

We must be playing different games, logging in take over 3 minutes for me.
Let alone anything else.

Sorry chap, at the time of posting my one saying it was fine i went on and struggled to get a game.. so the Americans must have come on.. but it was fine this morning time.

Had a crazy battle though when i did get a game on the trainyard 2v2 map. My mate was a bit of a noob so we struggled and they were clearly good but the amount going on the entire scenery was decimated in the middle.. quality stuff.

I had been trying all morning to no avail, there was allways 500+ players on.

Another update btw:

There are two known bugs that the team is working on right now. The lobby crash that is affecting everything, and there is a bug that is overloading the server.

I understand these are both a big pain, and apologize for that, but I do want to say thanks to everyone stressing the servers since we may have missed the overload bug without you.

I know some motherboard come with their own firewalls, do you know if your's has one enabled? I believe some of the nForce motherboards have them.

I'm tempted to believe that this is not a software issue. Looking at all the hijackthis logs, and seeing that also disabling all services and startups doen't do anything...

On the other hand it's also hard to believe that it's a hardware problem. Since all kinds of hardware seem to have this problem.
What I observed is that (almost?) everyone with the problem seems to have a Athlon64 Processor.
Then again there ARE people with A64 CPUs who don't have any problem with the game

Rerading around this happened last weekend and everything cleared up Monday morning once the servers had been rebooted and the yanks were at work.
Here's hoping a.

Downloading now :). I've been waiting for a decent/refreshing rts game for a while. Hopefully it will also stop me getting too bored while I'm at home :o

me and gord had two games in a row, was a bit bumpy at first, with two crashes but ingame it runs pretty fine. Lots of fun.

Its so awsome to see the aftermath of a battle, one second its a peacefull french village with little buildings and a few germans, the next its a big crater thanks to gord and his howitzer army :S.

Another tip, if you see a little tracked remote control vehicle heading to your squad of engies or riflement... or any of your units, run, because those things blow up with such force, it has to have been the biggest single explosion i saw in the two games we played.

Thats why the games so good and why i went ballistic at some moron in the lobby who went .."oh no, not another CNC clone".. the game forces you to go out and win those points if you dont you lose.

Neildo's and mine games were pretty good. We wiped the normal enemies clean and the hard ones the same until my tinternet disconnected.

I got one game last night 2v2 and got slaughtered.
I am picking it up though but i just don't seem to build up quick enouth to get my Armour. I am odviously doing something wrong but once the servers settle down i will be able to have a few games in a row and get properly to grips with this little beauty.
I am so looking forward to a well matched 3v3 it hurts.
For me and my BF2 head it's like a mini BF2 army that i control. Like a cartoon war with my little troopers steaming about. I really do love the feel of this game. :cool:


Feel free to add me to MSN those that are enjoying it.
