Reserved no.2

reserved no.3

So why are we reserving again ?

Me being new to the louyat forums.

Anyways found this on youtube for all those people who don't what kind of gameplay DOW2 is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD_OyVzyLSY

and yes it's not DoTA (or similar to an FPS)

From that vid it feels like playing COH in futuristic settings.

if you check out the opinions on V5 you can see what we experience plying beta.....its faster than COH and doesnt make you build anything unlike COH. However you still have to tech up to get better units.
Overall if you like COH multiplyer then this is a good game for u.

It's more like,if you dont like base building and likes to be in the action asap,this is the game for you.

how long will the beta last??

Waba, next round close the topic while reserving top and 2nd post to prevent one liner moron like this. And dont forget to put up the steam group in the first post.

I think lots of DOW players find lacking in DOW2 is that there are too much entrenchment and the map is too small. Players does not seem to be able to run around or have long range vehicle like basilisks. Instead of commanding an army they feel its just commanding a few squads as it was posted by bobo head in the previous thread.

I think till the end of february,before the game is released.

updating the beta through steam now

I think CoH player also find this game lacking because lack of supply line etc.I dont play a lot of CoH so,i dont know what is lacking for CoH players.

From a DoW player's point of view,DoW2 offers too little things compare to vanilla DoW.Im not comparing to any mods or any expansion that comes after DoW.The unit list seems smaller when you play,but i think the numbers are almost the same for each race.Also,fast attack units like Land Speeder is absent or long range units like Whirlwind are absent too.It is known that arty spam is annoying in CoH,so,i think removal of arty in DoW2 is a good move.Maps are smaller and it becomes a bit annoyance for DoW player as we are just used to big battles and large maps.It doesnt feel like controlling an army in DoW2 as you only get a handful of squads.Feels more like more like a small skirmish.

I notice most previous Relic games gamers cant really accept DoW2.It just remove too many things,rather than giving it new content.At the same time,doesnt feel like a new game.Just a combination of some of the features of CoH and DoW while some of the best are left out.

After reading an interview between Shacknews and Johnny Elbert,it feels like DoW2 is designed for those who dont like what makes a good,fun RTS in the first place.

This isnt what i want in DoW2.

Anyway,the patch is out.Might as well give it a try.

I went to my usual shop in 1U and they were selling the "pre-order collector kit".

Basically inside there is a dvd with some bonus (havent check on it yet, back in office), the tickets for the life-size space marines statue contest, one postcard with some Tyranids grahic on it. Nothing much (need to check the cd content first).

Need to do full payment when you get this, but at least I am sure to have my copy asap

Thanks for keeping the comments coming guys, I dun participate much but I read everything and I think I am not the only one

Edit: Maybe it's old news for some >_>

Which shop are you getting from?

Games Corner?

Might as well get from TSB.I never like buying games from that shop,ori or pirate cause he tend to charge more for ori games.

I stay near Sg Buloh and i still go all the way to SS2 to get my ori games.I trust TSB more.

Sm statue contest ? Let's hope it doesn't require the winner to paint and snap on it by themselves

Yar, Games Corner, I have been there for a long time now and since I am working kinda in 1U (and live in BU) I felt lazy to go to SS2 to reach TSB (which I bought from before). From my experience the price difference isnt that big, at least no jam and no time wasted driving to SS2 since I just pass by the shop everyday

The statue is a LIFE-SIZE statue, cant imagine trying to fit that somewhere in your house (gf would go on a pure rampage )... or even transport it back... but you need to post the coupons to participe so it's kinda "meh"

As a COH player i tell u what its lacking..

-Retreat isnt a life saver.. sometimes is control suicide

-Tank armor regardless where it hit end up as rear hit..

-The lack of Arty based unit

-battlefield is too small even to COH standard..

don't want to participate the contest so I will just wait till it's over and buy
