November 20, 200817 yr dunno about the whole heroes thing just makes it sound like warcraft 3.... when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
November 20, 200817 yr Well, I really liked DOW and Winter Assault, so I'm keeping an eye on DOW2. Though I have to play a demo first, and I also hope the single playewr campaign is lengthly, since that's the only thing I'm interested in. Rain makes everything better.
November 21, 200817 yr dunno about the whole heroes thing just makes it sound like warcraft 3.... I think that this is a better venue for the heroes concept. In warcraft three there was supposed to be an epic war where huge armies clashed. In Warhammer 40k the same is true but Marines in particular are only ever put into play in small contingents. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
November 21, 200817 yr yeah but it's saying every race gets 3 heroes, so it's not just the space marines we're talking about here when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
November 23, 200817 yr yeah there was like Old One Eye and stuff, but how that relates to the game i dunno when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!
December 13, 200817 yr Author PvP/skirmish footage http://www.gametrailers.com/player/43666.html Can't say that mode does much for me. Guess the game will all be about the campaign for me. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 7, 200917 yr Has anyone posted this info on the final system requirements and info about the beta being released tomorrow thursday? Link to forum news post.
January 7, 200917 yr Has anyone posted this info on the final system requirements and info about the beta being released tomorrow thursday? Link to forum news post. Beta.... It will be probably NA only. I'm more keen on a single player demo though. Rain makes everything better.
January 8, 200917 yr Seven days of exclusive(ly bad) beta for Soulstorm owners and then the rest of the world: We're very excited to have you all try out our multiplayer matching system and get your thoughts on the game. Here is the official announcement on the beta, we'll have more details on installing it as the time draws near: "Exclusive Beta Offered to Dawn of War - Soulstorm Owners; Public Beta to Follow January 8, 2009 -- THQ Inc. today announced plans to release a multiplayer beta for Warhammer
January 20, 200917 yr Author Looking forward to the open beta next week. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 20, 200917 yr I'm wondering how the single player campaign turns out. If it is some soulless Dark Crusade patch-fest, then I'm passing. Rain makes everything better.
January 20, 200917 yr The singeplayer should be significantly different than the Dark Crusade one. I have Soulstorm so I'll get to be lame and lament slow download speeds on steam in about 4 hours. Yay me!
January 20, 200917 yr There's a 10 min long DoW2 MP walkthrough available now. Looks pretty tyte. Orks Orks Orks Orks Orks Orks Orks Orks!! Rain makes everything better.
January 20, 200917 yr Thought I'd post some stuff one the Soulstorm beta that I expect to also count for the normal pleb beta: Step 5 - Enter The Battle!When the Beta has downloaded all that
January 23, 200917 yr So, anybody already got into the Beta and wants to share some impressions? Is it true that there's no base building, micromanagement and you can only have a dozen peeps around you? Oh, and... orks Orgs Rain makes everything better.
January 23, 200917 yr Author PvP still has a certain amount of base-building, just not a significant emphasis on it, as far as I know. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 23, 200917 yr You only have a single HQ in MP and you upgrade it. Singeplayer is the part that is supposed to have a complete lack of basebuilding. There is an incredible amount of micromanegement and it is where the game really shines. And yes you do have fewer MANZ! than in the previous one, which is good. My short impression of DoW2 is that it is much more focused than the previous one and very much an RTS for getting your blood pumping. You should stay away if Supreme Commander is your favourite RTS. The intro movie is also better than the DoW1 movie, which is to say really really good. Longer MP impressions courtesy of Rock, Paper, Shotgun. Edited January 23, 200917 yr by Moatilliatta
January 23, 200917 yr The only "base building" you have is really a technical interpretation of it. A few leaders can drop structures on the battlefield, but not much. There's plenty of micro. You're using that more on your troops, getting them into position, covering areas. As opposed to the old method of building up a big group and wafflestomping the enemy.

January 24, 200917 yr Author Eurogamer is giving out a bunch of beta codes. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 24, 200917 yr I just straightforward bought Soulstorm for a laughable 3,75 Rain makes everything better.
January 24, 200917 yr Author ... just now? You could just gotten the Eurogamer beta keys too. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 24, 200917 yr As long as I can make a chapter of Space Marines in hot pink power armour, I'll be happy.
