I says I need to enter Key somewhere but I have no clue where. Game seems to work fine, I just can't figure out how to join a match with waiting so long. It says it findes some but then never joins me.

It's not like a regular RTS. You only build troops, no base building.

The LIVE account on PC doesn't cost anything.
It is bullshit though. Worst system I've seen. Couldn't they have stuck with what they already had instead of an XBOX system?

i have this about 2 weeks ago or somewhere abouts there, i was highly dissapointed there took alot of strategy out of it, no building, no economy balancing no builder units, 1 building spawns all your units. Yeah..im quite dissapointed. well it looks pretty.......

Hmm its not DOW 40k like the original its like World in conflict but with a Warhammer 40k theme.

hopefully its good.

Update!

Sofar after playing one game online I like it. but I hope theres more armies than what is in the beta, my fav army is Chaos Space Marines.

Sofar the only Armys they have are Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, Tyranids.

Theres no Chaos Space Marines, Tau, Necrons, or Imperial guard.

ALSO, the multiplayer lobby system completely sucks, its the same one used for halo 3 more or less.
