Looking at the screenshots of the space battles, this might not only be a platform for the army, but for the navy, as well....

Can't wait to see how this one turns out...

Could be.. Looks more to be like GB, but we will need to wait till they give more info..

Yep, looks interesting. I'm thinking we'll need to get some people on the demos ASAP so that we can have basic info created within a week or so of release; the faster we can test it and incorporate it, the better.

looks to me like an update of GB. sort of like they wanted to do another Clone Campaigns style add-on for Episode 3 but decided that GB wasnt up to the quality of games (mainly graphics-wise) they make today.

hopefully it'll be released in the UK around the same time. with all this money im making at McDonalds i might be able to afford it on release.

Looks that way - I'm enjoying the screenshots, they look like they're going to blow BF out of the water, atleast in my opinion.

Hm. I don't think you can compare the two games.

Well, technically you could do it in Galactic Battlegrounds, but it's a cheat, and if you're going to do that, you might as well get the Death Star

I'm so getting this game on release day!

If it does involve space as well as ground combat, we could just make two new divisions for it, one of the Navy for space battles, another for the Army to do the ground pounding.

IIRC, this game is made by the same team who put the original Command & Conquer together (which, with Dune II before it - also by the same people? - practically invented the RTS genre). So I am expecting some good things.

I thought they were dÃ¶d.
