How to get in now: Buy Dawn of War - Soulstorm at a store or Steam. On Steam, there's 75% off at the moment: http://store.steampowered.com/app/9450/ If you buy/bought Soulstorm in a store go to the Games tab of Steam and enter your Solustorm CD Key. The beta download will then appear in your Games list.

How to get in for free: Wait until January 28th.

What's included: All four races, all five maps. Everything multiplayer, basically. It is online only (no offline skirmish), has to be launched through Steam, and plays through Games For Windows Live, so you'll need an account with them too.

What I propose: We list our Steam IDs and Games For Windows Live accounts so we can start some fun OCUK gaming, free of 10-year old randoms who try their best to make your experience miserable by incessantly screaming obscenities through the built-in voice comms :D

So to start, here's me: Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/VE / GFWL: AndyB VE3D

I think i will wait a week for the fully open beta instead of spending £4.25 on soulstorm just to get the beta today. Souldstorm does seems like it could be a good game, but it sounds like it will be like dark crusade, where the lack of story just makes all the battles seem repetative, and not worth spending money on just to get the beta a week sooner.

Soulstorm was the worst expansion (because it was, for the most part, developed by an external team that went bankrupt shortly before release).
 
Hmmm... got a free weekend this weekend, and then not the next two.. is only a few quid, think I will buy Soulstorm depending on the OcUK response... :D

I remember when DoW beta came out and we had loads of OcUK matches, I remember Mr Pigeon.. and I would write up embellished battle reports.

I used to play DOW like a madman back in the day. Got pretty good at it before I took a 2 month break. Came back and everyone else was too good for me. :D

I hope DOW2 players are all noobs so I can get good at it again. :p
 
Why dont hardcore DoW fans who bought soulstorm retail when released have to wait?

Isn't it a bit of a kick in the teeth?
 
I'm having problems, game loads up fine and I can play for the first 3-4 mins but then my computer tells me there is no DVI signal, I can still here the sounds and everything though, only way to fix it seems to be to restart my computer. Haven't had this problem with any other game :(
