WAR: Obligatory Open Beta Information (OB Starts Sept. 7th, 2008)

Unfortunately, I didn't care enough to post it when it first came out, BUT, for those who must know, WAR will enter it's Open Beta stage on September 7th, 2008.

Hmm, okay, that's about all the excitement I can muster at this point. I suggest you guys give it a go yourselves and formulate your own opinions.

Meanwhile, I'll put a space hat on a Squig and pretend it's a Tyranid. *pets the Tyranid*
