I'm grabbing the mp beta and I'll get the sp later on when it's available. It's by the dawn of war crew which was supposed to be superb, although I didn't play it myself. Btw typo in subject, rts not fps

LOL I was thinking the same!
I've played the MP and really want to give the SP a go - Relic makes great RTS and the idea of not having to micro manage resources and having to push out along the map is ace . . . made all the better by the concept of Supply Lines in CoH and specific capture points . . . if you want advanced munitions, go and get the strategic point!
Dark Crusade (the lastes DoW) now with 7 unique races has a demo out - give that a go!

Bah - wasnt able to find a decent download all night for this demo :s
Gamespot - you needed to be a paid up subscriber for fast downloads - otherwise they pointed you at downloads.com which gave 25k/sec 
3DGamers - massive queues
FilePlanet - at the time only the West Coast server was hosting - jumped in, downloaded 1.6GB and my computer crashed - np I thought, the IGN download manager will resume . . . will it fcuk
So I have contacted GameShadow I know that I will get maxed out download speeds from their ShadowXpress server, no queues and a download manager that works!!!
I will play it tonight instead . . . I hope!

heavly downloaded as you can see here....
http://www.gamershell.com/download_15378.shtml
for those who dont have gs installed you might be able to get it from Holland i think ! i usually get much higher connection rates than Gamershell from thier direct download mirrors.
if its red your out of luck.

Finally downloaded it last night - its installed but haven't played it yet!
At this rate I'll have the full game before I get to have a go!
When you install it detects your system - it told me as I have a Dual Core system I should ensure that the latest CPU and Optimization drivers are installed!

played it and it's bloody great,first impressions are that it is very fast paced,so much so you seem to lose squads sometimes,but that will probably change once you get used to it.Cant wait for it to be released now
If you dont like it you can f**k off-Keith Moon |

use Fraps m8 !!
in the app config a key to do it like f12 etc then your screenshots are saved in fraps folder or whereever you suppied a path.
