Individuals residing in the USA or Canada will be able to register for a chance to be one of the 5,000 players chosen. The beta signup is scheduled for a 24-hour period, beginning on January 7th at 11:00 p.m (GMT -8) and ending on January 8th at 11:00 p.m (GMT -8)." I couldn't even count the number of great hours of fun WC2 provided us back in the day. What an absolute classic. I wonder if WC3 will be reboot worthy.

If you're interested in not having tons and tons of units, with the focus more on strategy (you know, the "S" in "RTS"?) then I suggest Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns. Here's the reviews over on gamerankings.com. And guess what? If you don't like booting out of Linux (if you boot *into* Linux), it's even been ported over there by Loki!
It's a very good game, with heavy focus on flanking units, configuring well-balanced troops, and actual STRATEGY, with an innovative and streamlined resource management model. It's highly recommended to anybody who wants to play a strategy game.
