We dont really have an RTS section but it fits more in here.

Anyone else excited for this game? From the looks of it it looks to be one of the first RTS's to really input some strategy vs jsut build build build more and win.

Looks like a lot of fun, the ruse system sounds awesome.

Frankly it wasn't on my radar, but then again I'm more interested in SC2 since I was a huge SC fan back in the day.

I never could get into SC. I liked Warcraft much more. Star craft 2 looks cool but it seems like more of the same, build mass units quickly = win.

While that can be fun I love real strategy with planning and deception. The ONLY RTS I have ever been able to get that to work in was Homeworld 2. Ruse's deception base sounds and look great from all of the gameplay video's. The control's, view's and setup just fits my needs.

I might get SC2 on sale someday but eh.

Theres two older ones from the Italian campaign on the main site but they are a little older. Go more in depth on some aspects these are newer.

Applied for the beta, would be cool to get in on it. We shall see, still looks like a wonderfully new RTS, most of the others are blah to me still.

DAMN, my night just went to pot, got off phlorph for some homework to find a beta key for RUSE in my inbox :D cannot WAIT. And I work very late all week damnit!

[Ripskin]

Played a quick round, I must say that was a TON of fun. Learned the interface etc while I went along and narrowly won. I did not use too many ruses. I will look more into those later. Joint attacks, units and tactics won the day for me...barely lol. Building units is simple and easy which I was not sure I would like. However laying out the battlefield to strick your opponant is crucial. Balancing units and ruses helps a lot.

Game also looks really damn good. And with Eyefinity lol...

Well I got another round in and this is the best RTS I have played since Home World 2. Graphically amazing, based around strategy and placement over unit count. I loved Sup Com for the scale of battles with units, but this is huge in another way and is so much more fun.

Two victories so far.

The public beta started today. I pre loaded but wont get a chance to play until later tonight and see what changes have all been made. But if its better than the closed beta w00t. was a lot of fun then.

[Ripskin]

Played a few rounds, still some issues to get worked out but they have improved a lot since the closed beta.

However the game will use Ubis gay ass DRM so I dont know if I will buy it anymore :(
