Can you still get games in shops?
So in the new one do you just pick a side and then you have to try and win with that? No building anything?
Exactly, It's not like past RTS games where you build the biggest armies and get a huge base, you get a certain amount of unit's (you can gain units by recon also) and have to think where they should hide/run to determine the outcome of a battle, rather than just sending them in and finding out who has da biggest gunz!.
Online MP still has base building though, just not SP.
Oh that is a shame. I would prefer it was all like that. I am quite good at tactical games but I am useless at building games. I always end up with like three men and a tank and the other team have a company of troops

Is there a way to get this if you have a non steam copy of Soulstorm?
Yep. Just add your retail code to steam. Games > Add Product > Enter your steam CD key. Both soulstorm and the DOW2 beta will show up as downloadable products now.![]()
If I bought the retail version, it install Steam as default and runs through that doesn't it?
I doubt it very much, AFAIK only hard copy Valve games need to run through Steam. Should run just like an ordinary GFW game with securom etc.
I thought the retail version of DoW2 uses games for windows live, not steam.
