I downloaded it, but am having problems installing it. The setup program keeps crashing. I think it is my box though. I have had other setup programs that would not run.
 
I ran the setup program on my Win2k Server and it ran fine.
 
If you download it, make sure to use ftp.ea.com. You get a faster download.

Yeah, you can easily install it and even start it...
...but the real problem is playing it.
 
Problems:
 
1. Loging in. Let's just say the success-rate for my being able to log in is below 10%.
 
2. Lag. Ok, so EA only uses one server on the beta. I pray they realize that this does not work if you, like me, live outside the US...
 
3. Playing it. Whoopeee.... I got to try it once! ...and that was on the practise run without opponents...
 
4. It's an EA game... 'nuff said.
 
 
No, sadly, it appears that EA has ALOT to fix if they wish to avoid the same fate Anarchy Online got....
