Hive Rise: Free-to-play RTS now open to public

Are you a fan of Real Time Strategy games like Command & Conquer? Do you enjoy playing said games absolutely free? If so, developer Vulcando Games may have a great timewaster for you to sink your teeth into. 

After over 4 million matches in its beta phase, Hive Rise opens its gates to the public. And I do mean public! Billed as an RTS:MMOG (Real Time Strategy Massively Multiplayer Online Game. Phew!) Hive Rise plays like a fast-paced Command & Conquer with maps supporting up to 1000 human players, downloadable replays, stat-tracking, 12 modes of play, and in-game music provided by what appears to be a rotating list of cutting edge 'net radio stations. 

It looks ambitious. It looks like an addictive casual version of Battlefield 1942 and early Command & Conquer, and it's free. See you there?

    This game is a cheap knock off of Command And Conquer like games, the graphics seem very remedial almost like the game was aimed at children.

    The graphics can't be praised much, but at least that allows a low barrier of entry for play. Curious Bill, how long did you play? I guarantee those weren't children whooping my ass :-)

    (at least, I hope not!)
