For never underestimated the power of rich fans. Definitely,but i dont want a Blood Raven or Blood Angels sitting in my house. I want a life sized Grey Knight or Thousand Sons. Maybe not TS cause they are Chaos.I dont want to attach the bad chi into my house. This post has been edited by Cheesenium: Feb 11 2009, 11:57 AM

I rather have a painted TT army than a statue.

My OS is Vista 32 bit Home Premium and so far have no problems connecting to online mp games for the beta. I heard that there is a memory usage issue with Vista 32-bit where some people cant play the game.It was going to be fixed,but dunno when. Mine lags a lot even i play 3on3.The most i can get is 3 bars. Mind listing out your complete specs? My rig is: 2.2 C2D 8600M GT 3GB DDR2 RAM

QUOTE(Xeoalpha @ Feb 13 2009, 12:33 PM) @Leo, it's not a audio button, it's a button audio. Currently the button when you click or mvoe over it, there's no sound @Cheesenium - I'm running Vista32 with no problems as well. Don't take the performance bar to heart - it's very inaccurate. Even people with top of the line PCs can get 1 bar. However, if you can feel your game is lagging because your performance is too high, then you have to adjust I can understand why you don't like the game, compared to DOW1. They made DOW2 as a platform for alot of DLC, thus the partnership with MS Live service. Relic has put alot of priority for online play but there's still alot more to go if it wants to be tournament status. Like an observer/broadcast option. Tactical RTSs are getting more popular - DOW2, World in Conflict, and EndWar. The problem is,it lags and thats why it's at 1 bar. It runs smoothly on 1v1 but 3v3,it lags when i have tonnes of Orks and Nids around.Even while im running on the lowest. I can run CoH on medium high,why cant i run DoW2 on at least medium? I like MS Live as it's pretty fast in finding games but the interface is a pain in the ass. I dont mind if Relic has put a lot of effort on online play.It's just the polish and optimisation problem bugs me the most.More than the not so epic crap.

Vigilo Confido Senior Member 4,852 posts Joined: Aug 2006	QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Feb 13 2009, 02:26 PM) I do agree with Cheese though this game isnt all that bad but it is disappointing enough for me not to buy it, or rather spend hours and hours on it. Acctually after playing the beta for some time and going back to World in Conflict I find these 2 gave have quite a number of similarities just that DOW2 have a really small map and not much walk paths hence game of entrenchment, whereas WiC have a much bigger map and they have support units too. Guess if players want a small battle and prefer 1 v 1 this is the game for them. It is disappointing for me. I find WiC is more fun than this as maps are bigger.More places to flank etc and overall better map design. Not that the game is bad,it's just that DoW1 was a classic,despite whole lot of problems with it.DoW2 is just a good game,not a classic like it's older brother.Most of the flaws of the game could be fixed with patches to things like better maps or expansion. QUOTE(Fatimus @ Feb 13 2009, 02:33 PM) Yeah I enjoy using the third one (forgot the name), it skill can drag people and butt secks, I tried it even though I lost I had the satisfaction of doing it. It's Lictor Alpha.

I might be wrong) Aussie when you trade in 2 original games (PS3,Xbox,Ps2,Psp. Etc) Not bad deal. I still advise to get games from Malaysia as it's cheaper here. No point getting games there cause you are paying double for a normal edition.

Sounds more like a Hack n Slash game when u guys describe yer gameplay experience . I am so very worried now....Love the original DoW. Hope Relic dun screw this one up. Got such thing as positioning turrets at chokepoint and see 'em mow down wave after wave of enemies to the ground kinda action? I do recommend you to try the beta first before you get the game.This game isnt for everyone who love playing DoW or CoH. Some might like it.Some might not.
