According to the press release, the promotion kicks off today and runs until July 19th 2010, however it's unclear which timezone it refers to and also conflicts with information on the Steam site that states the offer ends at 1pm Pacific time on July 18th. Regardless, it's a good opportunity for strategy buffs to check this one out.
[Update]: Ubisoft have announced that the trial period has been extended until July 21st at 3PM PST (8am Thursday Sydney time).
Unlike other Steam "free weekend" promos that temporarily offer the full retail multiplayer game free of charge, this one appears to be more like a multiplayer demo, offering PC gamers a limited assortment of the multiplayer content expected in the final game come September. Here's the list:
R.U.S.E. is slated for a September 9 2010 launch on PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
- All factions (5): US, France, Germany, USSR, ITALY, UK
- 7 different maps for various game modes: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3/2v2v2, 4v4
- Ranked matches: 1v1 & 2v2
- Unranked matches: Quick, Host & Join (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, 2v2v2)
- IA Battles: Regular Mode, Easy, Medium and Hard Levels, with all factions available for IA.

And given that Australia is divided into like 8 different steam 'download regions' it's very difficult to find a game at the moment.
The balance changes are excellent though, they should have both of the above issues fixed shortly, and before the release.

Didnt even get a chance to try it. It had removed itself from steam by this morning. What a bunch of retards they are. If your going to have a free weekend to check the thing out, let it run for the f*****g weekend! I know about different time zones and everything but would it have hurt to let it run for 3 days!?
F** em, they wont be getting my money

All other games that I use for distraction played fine.

but as a fun time waster it is pretty awesome, however i did find it fairly easy to rush flying fortresses with p90 escorts and bombing runs became pretty simple ways of racking up the points.

It's a shame because they've got some fun games out, but I'm not playing or paying an Ubisoft title until they introduce DRM mesaures a bit less... s***.
