Yeah, Relic has said on several previous occasions that they're never going to put Tyranids in Dawn of War. This suprises me though, considering what a Swan Song Dark crusade was, I thought they'd be working on Dawn of War 2 by now as suggested by the FMV at the end of the SP campain. It looks like said FMV was actually talking about this new addon though. Disapointing.

Yeah, the new patch takes multiplayer up the arse and does naughty things to it. LAN GAMES SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT OF SYNC THEN CRASHING EVERY FIVE MINUTES YOU FREAKING MORONS.

I vote Hades! We get to vote right?

Well i'm sold!

Nice arguments guys, but horse armour is still winning.

You guys are all bitter and twisted husks of humanity who long since lost your passion for video games and indeed for life itself!

Doesn't being a 'greatest hit' require that all products contained have actually been released in the past? It might be semantics, but so is your face.

first!

Orange box is almost garanteed not to contain any warewolves, so you should be alright.

And let us not forget Dungon Lords, the action RPG of 2004!

4chan: the obs thread? rawr edit: cancel that, the bastard is too big.

They're Finnish, duh.

Dragonball Z for chicks?! Oh boy!

It's all over the place in the UK (our own version though). You can hardly turn on the TV or pick up a magazine without seeing it around. They also, somehow, managed to find the most annoying girl on the face of the planet, and put her in.

I was wondering what they were all laughing about over there. Fox news makes me laugh.

don't be racist Guys, i'm pretty sure that Chris just won the entire thread.

haha, truth. For the PC though, Hearts of Iron 2 and Civ4 are both thinky games, but both very satisfying in coop, but only consider them if you know you like these kinds of games. In both cases though the coop is nicely intigrated (not just 'skirmish mode') and playable with just one copy of the game. Otherwise, the hugely overlooked RTS Ground Control 2 has its complete campain playable in coop with just one CD across a LAN. This also goes for Red Alert 2. If you're feeling sadistic Dangerous Waters is now available on Steam. It's a submarine simulator which allows for coop within the same vessel (including destroyers and helicopters). You each choose which stations to man then attempt not to crash into the ocean floor. Which is easy, unless your pilot is retarded or Llyranor. Starlancer should be very cheap now, and while it's enough that it's one of the best space sims ever made it's campain is also completely playable in coop, including promotions. Nothing quite like working togeather to beat a mission then getting a promotion while your team-mate doesn't. You can then fly your new ship in his face just to spite him. If space sims have daunted you in the past then this one is very much on the action end of things, no fiddling with your sheild settings or engine output is needed. Freelancer is also a lot of fun in multiplayer, though it's not strictly a coop campain. More like, you and your buddy are let loose in a universe full of potential and can do whatever you want (including forming a wing, which is coop for all the hirable missions/piracy/trading you can do). If you're looking for more subtly to your coop, both Hidden and Dangerous games have their campains available for coop. Be warned though, the first game is very unforgiving to those new to it and the second is only coopable with the sabre squadron addon pack (but a far more forgiving and polished game). I can second Commandos 2 being a lot of fun in coop, though you really really have to be willing to work closely with your team-mate in tactics and coordination. Commandos 1 is also coopable, but I wouldn't recomend it.

Opinion of Volo going skyhigh!

Not as much as they hate you.

Godly Sacrifice indeed. Respect is deserved by any game with a spell called 'Bovine Intervention'. Needs a replay.

Yeah, all the units were pretty awsome in their own right. Even humble things like the Dragon spearman for his stun ability (though selecting abilities in the heat of combat was a tad microy). My personal favorate was the Kabuki warrior though, just for being so goddamn pimp (though his special ability was freaking useful against lotus wizards, no more magic balls of doom for you BITCH). Yin/Yang points were a very very nice dynamic too, and coupled with the very limited harvesting, made for an RTS very focused on early combat, much like Dawn of War.

Doubled, I had great fun with this game. The only problems with it were that the lotus clan was overpowered and there was no way to produce more horses (despite being able to capture them and keep them at your stables).

if you have friends (haha) sven coop.

Wait, jump-ducking was covered in the tutorial. SOMEONE DIDN'T PLAY THE TUTORIAL!

As long as your eyes were closed, yes.
