Booted up steam this morning to find a the trailer for the game on steam, which must mean it's coming to steam.

A good idea putting it on there.

Interesting.

I won't jump the gun... but yea there is the hd trailer, and a blurb saying "comming soon".

Steam would fix so much of the connection crap that mslive has (whether it'd happen, doubt it).

Wow, indeed, here it is:

If they do this, it's a good choice... depending on the price of course ;)

Maybe they got the date wrong. C'mon why show a trailer of a game this early and that says "The invasion begins December 2007" ;)

Anyway I'm glad this game bets more publicity!

I so love the music in the beginning of the trailer.

It's a typo don't worry. Glad to see VALVe looked at this game. Now if they can just fix they're Download speeds.

Good news for some friends of mine!


EDIT: The music in the steam trailer has been changed from the Demo version and I must say it's done much better... I really liked that!

I'm tempted to just buy it there instead of having to order it with shipping. But I like having the CD and cover in my hands. I don't trust cyberspace <.<

Actually, I'm wondering how this will affect modders. Is UaW completely in GCF files? Does this mean my tools will have to check for two possible installations? Argh!

And can I use a serial from a cd/dvd-copy to download it through Steam?

I agree, I think it is faster to just go and buy it from the store. (No shipping costs, exept on the fuel to drive to the store and back.)

I also feel safer with the disk. If your system gets wiped (somehow) and you have the disk you can just reinstall the game, but if you had it saved as a file on that computer......

... then you download it again. With two or three clicks :)

Don't you have to pay for the game again?

*Le sigh* Seems like I am forced to go through the horrible ordeal that is shipping from overseas.

Need to find some trusty sites that can ship stuff >.<

I'm old fashioned, I need to have the real thing on my desk :p
