I have a "friend" that has been in alpha for months. He said "Its a neat game. Its not as slow to specialized as Shattered Galaxies, and the units are well thought out. They just released two "special" companies. These are set groups of units that can NOT be changed and they focus on a set tactic."
Yeah, it's kinda like old world of warcraft with modern equipment and more people...can't say that I'm overly impressed.
