Any idea when Open Beta is going to happen? I would love to do Closed, but I don't have the time right now to jump through hoops in order to get a chance at a key.

I'll be on-server awaiting ludicrous combat.

If you've got some time now, this game is like 1MB size and pretty fun.  Someone's got a dedicated server and I'm thinning the bots a little right now.

Cheers for the invitation, but sadly, I had already logged off the forum. Busy busy times and it is only now starting to clear. So, I might pop up in that game in a few weeks. Mayhaps PS2 might be open beta by then! ... A NC recruit can dream.

Any chance you could tell us why? I did enjoy the mod and was looking forward to more WH40K Grimdark.

To all the Tau lovers: The Greater Good is coming to you from my Bolter, alien.

As for the thread, Warhammer is waaaaaaaay to expensive for me to be actively involved in painting mini's. I do buy all the rulebooks and have a small library of novels (I love dem novels. Luuuuuve them), which probably already adds up to hundreds of euros. But I can't mentally justify buying a small figure the size of my thumb (which I still have to paint, which I still have to buy as well) which costs more than 30 euros. For 30 euro's, I get two novels or an omnibus with 5 stories. The Night Lords series by Aaron-Dembski Bowden for instance was most excellent.

I could buy a 'used' army, sure, but those things are never how I would have painted them. So, yeah. I did try a proxy game of WH by using cardboard, but I didn't have the experience and my co-player the patience to finish a full game. I'm quite sad there aren't any RPG groups in my neighbourhood. Otherwise, I would love to do a round of Deathwatch or Black Crusade. I love Space Marines.

I'm not entering, but I do want to thank hemmingjay for the generosity. Cheers, dude!

Me gusta. 

New footage. Fast forward to 3:51:40. The official 2K feed shows the new mission fully, without interruptions and narrated by Pete Murray from 2K. It also shows interceptors in action and a new mission where they breach a UFO with soldiers decked out with carapace armour and laser weaponry and meet an unknown alien. Both parts are in surprisingly low (blurry) resolution. Will post high-res stuff once I find it.

The interceptor bit looked a bit disappointing since I couldn't discern any options beyond the obious "abort" order. Work-in-progress perhaps.

Some more E3 XCOM footage. First up is the Gamespot feed here. Fast forward to 19:45. If you prefer youtube, go here. This one has interview and gameplay.

Another feed is the official 2K one. Fast forward to 1:07:00 for an interview.

Spoiler alerts all over, yet again. Please keep your boner and associated body fluids to yourself. For now at least. You can go all-out on Solifuge's birthday.

XCOM E3 2012 Trailer here. Spoiler alert, once again.
