They had no choice. The tier system just couldn't work.

Great news! I hope this helps UaW's player base. This was one of the main complaints I saw from folks so I would assume this news would bring them back. :petroicon:

Had to check that it's not from The Onion... :blink:

I checked in-game... it's true. Sweet zombie Jesus! Good News!

Just seen this on Kotaku.

I'm officially over joyed, UaW now can take the centrer stage it deserved.

MS just came in with a system that would never work for on-line games as proved by UaW, im sure multiplayer will be much more popular on all live games now.

Just logged in Conquer the world, ranked matches.... its like Christmas!

Isn't this abit hard for PC people who just shelled out for a Live subscription though, MS really should have done this from the start.

To the devs, We need a chartroom now

Yup i just checked too

all modes available :petroicon:

Now... all we need is to squish those nasty abnormal exits with a new patch (game works fine for me when i downgrade to patch 2). Must be something they added or took out causing the exits :blink:

I think I just had my first interop, ranked match. I had a windows icon, he had an Xbox icon. His defeat paved my way into the leaderboards at *drumroll* 1533th place with 1 win, 0 losses! *Applause*

Now we just need more players! Spread the news!

Quick someone inform Gamereplays... "they'll get the ball rolling" they're pros right...? The ones that believe MP sells a game...

Agreed! Now I can get those metals!

Have nothing to do? Helping with the Universe at War wiki would be most appreciated.

Probably should like.. Change the title of the topic, and sticky it or alot more threads are gonna be made ^_^

"OMG" dosnt really explain what it is about

Thank you Petroglyph for being here in the dark ages of RTS gaming! May your bright torch lead the way for other developers led astray. You make me happy as long as you stay alive, and I will dedicate my life to thee to make this dream come true!
