    Another good thing about the game, I have it installed on my Desktop and Laptop, I can do the Single player from either, the saved points are stored on Blizzard's servers I would say guys!

    No probs Arkie, surely they wouldnt include the download time in the limit would they? Hang on, refer to my previous post - this is Blizzard we're talking about;)

    It was funny though, poor Major was sending his "Drones. SCV's" to other bases, trying to attack friendly buildings with them and so on. He picked up a few things quickly though which was great to see.

    Helpful Information:
    Click on an SCV and press B then S, this will select the SCV to build a Supply Depot, once you select that and before you click on the ground if you hold Shift this will allow you to "Queue" Supply Depots for that SCV to build, while still holding shift you can then say click on the Ore and after building the Supply Depots the SCV will go back to mining.

    You can do this with any building and multiple buildings, so another one I do is select my Barracks from the Build menu then while I still have that SCV selected I will go to the second build menu and chose the Factory, hold Shift and click where I want it, this again will make that SCV queue up buildings so it will build the Barracks first then the factory.

    What is bad is when a game goes for an hour, and you think it's only been 20min. I was broadcasting on XFire the other day Jello, so Vampey could see the game, issue there was within the space of 2min I ended up having 5 people watching the game and the broadcast started to lag according to Vampey. Need to see if I can limit it all :D

    Do 'node have it to Download yet Hicks? That would be very helpful if they do :) Not my cup of tea but the original was the first game of this type Ranger played on a PC and he played it to death so might have to get it for him to try if there are any more trial keys floating about?

    I don't think they do Fezza, it may only be a download from Blizzard but I brought the box copy of the game. Some of the guys should have some CDkeys available, I sent my two to Vampey and to Oz :)

    It's like an 8gig download and the game is 12gigs installed, but well worth it I think, I still can not get over how good the Campaign mode is and as you get further into it, there are choices to what missions you take to what can happen as well. Dammit, thank god I finish in an hour, then I can go home and play the game :D

    I have a question ? do you have to pay monthly sub if you just play single player and/or does the multiplayer have monthly sub :)

    I enjoyed what I got to play with the 7 hour trial :D I'm new to the RTS games so dont know much about them but this one is nice so far
