Stormgate (ex-Starcraft devs) is open beta on Steam

If you like RTS check it out, one extremely cool thing about this RTS is that it uses rollback netcode you get in modern fighting games, making the experience pretty much lag free, very cool tech.

Tiny download, like 3-4GB

It's a small game but it's got some big tech.

It's been a long time since there's been good RTS games on the horizon, so I'll definitely be trying it (along with Homeworld when it launches).

The only downside about the game is the whole free to play model, we'll have to see where they go with that.

I tried it with a custom game vs AI and the units are extremely laggy, they keep teleporting in little hops.

Vid of old man playing it from the UK, no issues for him:

So probably even with a local game its using some form of remote server I'm guessing, and the supposed awesome netcode isn't being awesome at the moment.
