Good news, my brothers.

THQ has got their heads around,where they have decided to drop GFWL as a whole in DoW2:Retribution and Space Marine.

I'll pre-order Retribution then, as the terrible GFWL is gone.

Now, hopefully Codemaster will also drop this terrible system.

Seriously, im so happy now because they are gonna remove GFWL. It's very unexpected in a way that THQ have gone to the point of scrapping a huge chunk of their game, and replace it with new codes. I dont think many companies will do that, especially for a 2 year old project.

Relic have been extremely dedicated in fixing the game and fixed pretty much everything that is imba, broken or bad, except GFWL. They even gone to the point of reprograming their awesome unit AI to fulfill competitive gamer's request, as they are very annoyed with the dancing problem.

Im gonna say, hats down for THQ for willing to do a drastic measure to improve the game tremendously.

Whatever they replace with will definitely be better than that.

DoW2: Retribution is gonna be great, if they keep up with their patching standards.

I think it's a very bold move, as DoW2 is already 2 years old. Typical developers wont bother doing so, rather than bringing DoW3 without GFWL.

GFWL have countless issues. It has to be removed.

Seems like Relic made Retribution seems as if like a F**k You to GFWL.

Give me Inquisition army and i'll be happy.

Well they wanted to give you the voice in your head sort of feeling.

At the same time, you are also getting communication interception of other races when you are playing as Nids.

I wont say GFWL is new, as it has been here for some time.

Just that Microsoft have been too busy improving XBox LIVE while leaving their GFWL to rot. It has evolved from a decent thing(like cross platform) to an abomination when Microsoft tries to improve it with useless and dumb ideas. Instead they leave GFWL to rot, and let their competitors like Steam to improve and get ahead of GFWL. Steam is a much better system, despite it's short comings.

I do hope THQ will dump GFWL in all their future games. Next one would be Codemaster as the abomination have ruined their racing games a lot too.

I'll buy Retribution and Space Marine if both of them has no GFWL.

EDIT2: My heart sinks even even more.

Baneblade's main canon and co-axial cannon can be only used as a ability only.

It's practically a huge tank with lots of bolters and las cannon only. Without using the abilities. It's balanced, but there are so many tanks out there, why this one?

I gonna find my DoW1 and relive the awesome baneblade there.

Seriously, if Relic went with a real Inquisition army, they have even more choices of units, as they have access to IG and SM armory,also the Inquisition exclusive units.

If im not wrong, it's named after him, because Leman Russ helped to defend the forge world that made the tank.

It's pirated because it doesnt have Steam.

CR is a Steamworks game.

If you dont have Steam, it's pirated then.

Gonna get CE. Just to support Relic's extremely brave change.

I just find the CE box so badass. Just take it la.

Hopefully got free Retribution shirt too.

If not, i think Chaos pack la.

Nah, i prefer to get it myself.

Australia should have it, worst come to worst.

Yes, you can still get those Wargear as DLC for a small fee after release.

Because everyone thinks Starcraft is the best RTS ever, and Relic dont have as much money and time as Blizzard to polish their game till it shines.

I hope this time, Relic actually get it right. The IG in dow1 isn't exactly IG to the fluff.

If you played the Steel Legion mod, I think the modders version is much better.

The DoW1 ones are called Cadian Regiment.

They are 2 different ones, as i remembered that Cadians are more infantry heavy and they use Karskins, instead of storm troopers. The reason it doesnt feel IG to me is there isnt much tanks or fortifications. I think Relic did well in terms of how weak Guardsman is. They really die like scissors cutting paper.
