Well, there are buildings and static defenses in MP, which is a good thing. Throw in defenses that are buyable, makes it a bit more better.
But the one thing that bothers me is that NSA Helidynes are a wee bit too powerful compared to Viron Helidynes....<!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And I wish the camera wasn't affected by gravity as well...heck the first NSA mission was a pain in the but thanks to the gravity -_______-
I got my account working. No idea what was happening, might have been something wrong with the connection to the server.
Played through the tutorial and then went online. It seems to have gone the way of most other games in it's genre - infantry rushes. You can fill a cargo hold up with infantry, drop them on the battlefeild and they can take out pretty much any small defensive team you have at a VL. I only managed to survive one attack becaue I had 3 snipers and a machine guner posted in a building, but it was close. I was just sending a camoflaged scout round to capture a LZ when I got disconnected.
I just got through w/ a couple guys and man did it rock. Mega fun. It takes a LOOOOONG time to get used to it, but it is pretty sweat with the variety of stuff you can do.
Warzone 2100 had the same problem with the camera. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Doom, why must you be so good?

Anyway, if you guys feel like playing a game or two of this, come to #nsswarm (I don't know why that channel), we organize games from there daily.

I played a game earlyer on MP2, as an arty specialist... I had 5 pieces all, hotgrouped, that I'd move around every 2 minutes or so so they wouldn't get taken out with an airstrike.
Near the end, my teammates started just saying something like "YO ARTY MAN! BRIDGE!", as 30 mortar rounds cascaded towards the target....

We turned DOOM from a pathetic shivering baby into an apc rushing man's man. I kid you not. This guy was shaking in his own boots. One game after he left every one who was playing (myself included) was trying to steal his tactic.
Reviews I've read have been rather nonplussed by the single-player side of things. As I tend to only play SP games these days can anyone offer any input on how the SP is?
If anyone of you actually has the full version of the game already: I heard that the Imperials will not be playable in the game, can you confirm that for me ? Because if they are not, I don't see a whole lot of reasons to buy this game, as the demo already includes the multiplayer mode and 2 sides (NSA and Viron). So, all I would buy this game for would be a couple of multiplayer maps and the SP campaign.
Tried the tutorials... looks like fun! I'll have to tweak the graphics so that they look reasonable without killing my FPS, and the camera is also a b**ch - I guess it just takes getting used to.
Me and my brothers just had a blast playing through a few levels coop. This is the best RTS that have been released so far this year, in my opinion. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Holy hell this game rocks. I love it.
Except for that damn camera. GRRR I hate that. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't affected by gravity :X
Any way to make it NOT sink just because I go over a hill?
