Warhammer40,000 Dawn of War 2 beta

Hirmuinen

Just thought to say that Dawn of war 2 beta will be on Steam and everyone who owns the newest expansion Soulstrom can download the beta now.

And soulstrom's price is reduced to 7,5$ and 3,75€ at the moment.

That'll be neat to see. So I take it your band does metal?

Why yes we do, old school style, not all that hardcore bologna that has been going around lately. We are basically a thrash band with lots of odds and ends thrown in to spice it up. We have been compared to: Anthrax, Iced Earth, Candlemass, and Dio at various points. We sound exactly like none of them of course. Well maybe a Frankenstein. Anyway, I've been waiting to post anything until we get some better quality stuff, which will be Feb. 8th at the latest.

Sorry about the thread hijack by the way. Wink

One of the best this year for sure.

As for the beta. It's multiplayer and has six maps and four races in it. Gameplay wise it has some CoH elements like supression fire, tanks damage model and cover system. But I'm still not impressed! It doesn't offer enough variety and it feels too small scaled with little room for tactics, atleast after rts game like CoH.

Tried it but it didn't change my opinion of RTS multiplayer.

RTS multiplayers which requires a lot of base management and just tech up to certain level to spam the best tanks are bulllshit. But Coh, Total wars, world in conflict, dawn of war 2 and few others which focus on the combat and has this paper/rock/scissor type gameplay are fun. None of the troops becomes useless and even if you lose one battle you can make it up by good defence or trying to dry out their troops.

World in Conflict I like, especially the Battlefield-ish Massgate online service.

RA3 is a game like that. Balance is completely terrible.
