There is no way this is going to be an MMORTS.  With the way they are designing it, it is going to have single and multiplayer capabilities but not hundreds of players competing in an MMO.  There would simply be too many units, and trust me, there is no way the 360 would be able to handle it.  Your more prone to see hundreds of players in Halo 3 multiplayer before this is an MMORTS.

I agree with that. Plus, it sounds a little impractical. Just a Matchmaking option and a Conquest mode or something is good enough.

Nice find. I guess it's going to be online.

Hmm that could be applied to what Peter Jackson was going on about, too.  Think about it.  Couldn't an RPG or MMORPG classify as an interactice story?  And he did say it was a kind of game.  Hmm...
