'One of a Kind' RTS R.U.S.E. Announced

Yes! I always wanted an RTS were i could zoom in on things!!

Finally, a Dawn of War killer! the game was okay but the zooming was atrocious! zooming is the way of the future!

zooooooooooom lol

"Players can explore the maps using IRISZOOM Engine, which provides an aerial, smooth interaction unlike anything ever seen before."

Not including Supreme Commander.

sounds sweet already but i dont have a 17 are they a waste of money?

Awesome! After the way Eugen got screwed-over by Atari (being forced to shovel out Act of War: High Treason with an additional faction- which they settled for just doing "Mercs"- and naval combat- which it looked like they locked onto an interesting path for but definitely didn't have the time to refine it enough- in far too short a time) I wasn't sure I'd see a new project from them again despite their insistence after the release of High Treason that they were indeed working on other projects.

Given the excellent design and execution of Act of War: Direct Action (minus that Atari didn't include the x64 version of the DRM so it doesn't run on x64 systems... and I've tried the work-arounds...) that managed to be perhaps the only "clone" in memory to beat the crap out of its "parent" (C&C Generals) through superior game design. Of course, with the flagging Atari publishing it and it being perceived as a clone, it got little marketing and little recognition. Perhaps with Ubisoft and a potentially meatier marketing budget behind this, if it's good, Eugen may finally get the recognition it deserved back in '04.

Act of War was such a great game.. easily my top RTS. Sadly it seemed no one has ever heard of it (friend-wise). Hopefully this one will get more exposure.

The sequel to M.U.L.E.?

I raff I ruse?

I miss the days when you could easily determine approximately how fast some new cpu was compared to yours. Like when you had a 333 mhz processor and you were drooling over the 500 mhz or 1000mhz processor.

Then it all got weird around the 3000 mhz range. Then they starting going dual processor and quad core and putting in letters and crap. So now I have no idea how an i7 compares to anything before it. I think they did this on purpose for some reason. But I think it was a bad idea.

That name is so cheesy I could melt it and pour it over my nachos

there are more screens and a trailer here

I actually really liked Act of War (I still play occasionally), so I'm interested.
