Damn that looks mighty impressive but so did Generals/ZH and we all know what happened with that?! Ack!! Still, Generals/ZH are great games but not classics due to EA as per usual f*ing up post-support. A*holes!
As for the undersite of that B2 Stealth Bomber.. heck.. Government Cutbacks people! hehehe.. Plus its contours are supposed to be uninspiring - better stealthiness!

This is a really cool game. The battles are really intense and they look really good.
I didn't agree with some of the balancing, but, oh well. 
There are some great elements to the game, like being able to capture enemies for cash. You need to injure them enough so they don't die but instead surrender. Then you send a soldier over to capture them and they get sent to your jail. As long as you have prisoners they generate cash for you.
Neat stuff like that.
You can also medivac your own injured people out so they do not get captured, such as injured soldiers or pilots who have had their vehicles destroyed.
Graphics are really nice in-game, runs pretty smooth, there were some really wierd bugs which I hope they iron out, if they did, I think it will be quite enjoyable.

Stooz/Martinius.. details on the beta or are you covered under an NDA?Damn.. game looks like an RTS never seen before with that level of detail! Looks like a modern day AgeOfEmpires3 complete with full street battles! How does it compare to Generals/Zero Hour or DoW? Demo should be out shortly (in a day or two) but would love even some minor appraisals.

Well I did not play it too much as I had other stuff, I played more axis and allies RTS when I had that beta. Well I played mostly singe player as US and it was quite fun. I like that you have missiles and patriot missiles that cover a certain range (but you have to pay for your missiles).
The details /*graphical*/are very nice. There were some fairly good units to play with.

IN-GAME ACTION! damn.. Does remind me of Generals/ZH but 1000% more detail on the landscape! WoW! Urbanscapes never seen before in an RTS! Dunno what was up with the draw distance.. hope thats based on the computer they used.. Otherwise.. lots o detail! Living cities look breathtaking! Love when tanks plow through things! Hot damn!
