From beta testers at Relic News or Gamereplays,most of them didnt really like it.Battles are too fast.Teching non existant.Not enough boom compare to CoH.Also very very good graphics. tongue.gif Probably need time to get used to the new game.

Im still waiting for the final game before i judge it.I hate DoW so much when i play it initially.

I never tried it but thats what most people said.

DoW2 is blazing fast now.Uberly streamlined.


Added on January 22, 2009, 5:20 pmA video of DoW2 Beta 1 on 1...



NOTE: This guy is some WC3 player that played DoW1 before.He seem to be pretty negative about DoW2 so far.

I dont think there is any proper site to dl the SS patch.Just get from filefront or anywhere you can find.

It's only 2 patches by the way.

Part 2.

Just watch if you dont have the beta.Take it as a pinch of salt until you play it.

I watch a few more videos over at IGN.

DoW2 feels very unfinished.When tanks go through walls,that section of walls just disappear,as oppose to CoH's one where you see chunks of the wall rolling on the floor.

Besides,no tank hunks after death kinda disappoint me.It was another good feature in CoH.

yup already watched it jz nw...
his opponent is pretty bad at micro...

I think he got a noob in both matches.

ASM comes too late which could tie up his platforms.

the game is really intense in the starting moments trying to gain ground...
losing ur hero in such moment looks bad from all the video i've been seeing...
i haven see any vids who made a comeback...

Dunno la.Probably that guy is too good.The opponents are kinda new to the game.

The second video's ASM comes too late.If not,he might win or we'll get a nice battle.

Dam kesian the person he playing against.. lol


Hopefully those issues just for Beta nia.. the final version hopefully won't be like that, as COH its basically the most detailed RTS ever!.. heh

Cheers biggrin.gif

Probably will be put back into the game.

It's just a beta anyway.Things should be missing or incomplete.

There will be a Day 1 Patch to fix some stuff cause people will find some of the balance issues.

I think these things were toned down for performance reasons, since they're using 3v3 as the main match type... so they're there to stay. Also one of the reason why there's a lack of performance issue...

I for one was pretty okay with the vehicle debris not leaving behind (from the reports at the playtest in London), but after watching some videos (and used to CoH), i'm having second thoughts bout it. Just feels weird seeing them *pop* away (like Starcraft II  tongue.gif ). Luckily Relic have promised they're adding that in.

These Part 1 and 2 videos are the best, fullscreen HD!

It's not ok for me as i like the tank wrecks in CoH.You could use it as cover.

Generally,it feels more realistic for me.Tanks shouldnt just die and go *poof.


Added on January 22, 2009, 10:59 pmThere are more videos here.

Im still feeling kinda disappointed towards DoW2.

From what i see,it has even less depth compare to even already dumb down game like RA3.Lots of flashy explosion but the battles feels very small.Feels a lot like CoH.Very hectic,and sneaky like.

No doubt the graphics is good.Animation is decent,only.

I have been playing it alot since yesterday and I can tell you one thing...

DOW 2 seems easy to learn but hard to master. Yes the numbers of unit decreased and most of them you can only choose one upgarde option over another.... but in retro sense it also mean that every little small thing u can and will affect the game result. Kinda like advance interactive chess.

If you think you were owned bad in DOW wait till you try VS the elite RTS players in DOW2, IMO way worse method to die. On the flip side if the final release is anything like the beta, your HQ is super tough so even under siege you can last a loooong time.
*
So,it's still a damn good game?

I do notice flanking becomes very important now.Much more than CoH because of the slower retreat system.Cant spam retreat buttons now.One wrong move,all gone like one of the videos i posted.

It's more fluffy in it's way as SM has less man now.Unlike DoW1 where you get tonnes of them and get killed by Guardsman easily.

They will release a Zero Day Patch to nerf some of the imbas.And new maps after a week or 2.

DoW 2 Pre-Order Malaysia starts Feb 2 and will last until Feb 15.

No,just go get it now.

Still got la.


Added on January 25, 2009, 1:24 amI calculated.It will take me 26 days to download the whole Beta with my f*** up connection.

I'll try a few days.If it's still so hopeless,I'll give up my beta key to anyone who wants it.

If you already have DoW2 MP beta in your steam list, you can copy the game from someone who already downloaded the whole game, then you are good to go with copy and paste.

The problem is,none of my friends play this kind of "high tech" games.

Anyway,one question,what happens if i disconnect half way while downloading from Steam? Does it resume?
