You have to register at the forums? I thought that you'd get access to it through Steam when the Beta was launched

Ditto!
Not to mention you had to register there before the 25th (apparently. I looked into it earlier).
You almost did, didn't you?

You should get access to the beta, but at a delayed date iirc. I have been a member there for ages, but I don't know who else is etc.

Just played two very quick comp stomps. IG are going to be very difficult to stop late game 
And wtf have they done to the SM FC's voice?!?! It's a cross between a pirate and a news reader
If anyone wants some questions answered then lemme know. And yes, despite what has been said by the developers, pathfinding IS a problem for the LR and BB

How much HDD space does it take up? Untill my new rig arrives, I am very limited on space, and I'd like to know before I get access so I can clear up some for it

I also played the beta thanks which I think is open to anyone now. I agree with Wizard, the voices are disappointing. Even the IG voices are too cheesy for me. I loved the voices in original DOW for IG. Still could not try the baneblade to the max. At least they could have used DOW2 voices. These voices sort of ruins the experience for me.

That was not a Blood Thirster mate. That was a Daemon Prince (most likely one of Khorne's).

Actually looking at it in 720, the pauldron does bear a resemblance to a DP. Also, why does Gabriel look like Duke Nukem now?

Where you think Duke was all those 12 years?
And just for notice if someone hasn't notice yet who preordered it: You can preload it now from steam.
Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it... It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more.
