Atari and Eugen Systems are please to announce a closed public beta test for the upcoming Act of War: High Treason expansion. The highlight of this first expansion pack for Act of War: Direct Action is a major new feature - it's the first RTS game ever to feature modern naval combat! In addition, several major and minor additions and adjustments have been made to improve and simplify the experience of the original game, such as new units, upgrades, and streamlined interface mechanics. The purpose of this public beta is to get your feedback on tuning and balancing, but also to help us with hardware compatibility as well as general functionality testing. Remember that if you are selected for the beta you will be under a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA) which means you cannot discuss the product outside of our dedicated private beta forum. Note that you will probably be playing in a separate area online which means that while you're in the beta you will not be able to play online in the area you do now with other owners of Act of War: Direct Action. Please see below for details on the minimum requirements and how to sign up today!

Minimum specs: 2 GHz CPU or equivalent, 1GB RAM, 128 MB videocard with pixel shader 2.0 support, 6GB free HDD space, ADSL or better connection, and retail copy of Act of War: Direct Action.
