As Warbear said, it looks cool. May well be similar in content to DC. I wonder what ever happened to Trauma Studios? Maybe they have got into bed with EA &/or DICE after all.

Regards.

If it has stuff that flies, I'll be up for it

Commander mode sounds good. What we need is a way to bring the RTS and FPS players together, RTS specialists as commanders and FPS as the units they command!
