Ask me this question 3 months ago,i'll say:"No,go back to your CoH.",as DoW2 is too stripped down.Feels too rushed.

Now,i would say:"Hell yeah,go for it." It's a pretty good game for me,now.It's more or less complete now.

DoW2 is not CoH with Warhammer 40k units.It's a different game and it's fun on it's own way.Plus,it feels much more complete now and a new MP mode is coming too.

By the way,guys,more free stuff from Relic for DoW2.

Jager says he has already played new multiplayer modes for DoW II [8/5/2009] [FYI, PC Gamer UK mentions on the last page of Issue 204 that their next issue will contain more information about DoW II's new multiplayer modes, it'll be on news stands on August 27th]

Hope it doesnt turn out as 4v4. doh.gif

Now,i just hope Relic implement DoW2's replay system to CoH.

Hum, I am bit impressed by the quality of support of DoW2 here.

The game is out for quite a while now and they are still coming with good stuff, for free.

Really not a fanboy of Relic or anything, but have to admit nowadays it's getting rare to have this kind of support once the company took your money...
*
Nah,to be honest,vanilla CoH,WA and DoW also have this kind of support.

Look what happen to DC,SS,OF or ToV now.There isnt much support because all the man power is on their newest game.Thats why the Space Marine game worries me a lot as it will have an impact on DoW2's support.DoW2 is a game that need a good constant support through out the lifetime of this game until the very last expansion is reasonably well balanced/bug free.

Im happy with the game now.It's a complete game with the free maps(truck load of them),AI upgrade,2v2 mode,CE contents,a huge balance overhaul and the awesome new replay mode that give me a taste of how watching replays feel like in SC2.Plus lots of small ninja changes here and there,like new voices,animations,walls break with debris etc.

Still,OF is pretty good now,IMO.ToV is slightly disappointing.SS is still far from ok,unless you add the bug fix mod.

Yar, but I was talking actually in general from Relic, they giving pretty okey support in their games actually. People got bit pissed off with DoW 1 and how they milked the cow with all the extensions (I enjoyed the xpacs personally and got them all) but at least they expanded the original game to more or less propose most of the Warhammer 40K main races (which is itself an achievement imo, they even have SoB which are by far not the most played race in TT). Balance in MP was kinda screwed up at the end from what I read but with so many races I can't really blame them personally.

DoW2 has so far been granted with quite few good patches (like the list you said), I heard rumors of an Orc campain coming out for free in the future and co. While they may now redirect some resources to new game, I feel they already provided good stuff.

I bought DoW2 roughly at the same time I bought Empire Total War for example, one hand I have a game I replayed the campain in the last few days with pleasure and even tempted to start skirmish/MP, on the other I have a turd that is still CtD on me every few battles on 2 different computers, the AI is still dumber than in previous TW games etc. (I won't enumerate the whole list but there is whole more, the game is good but clearly faulty for me)

That's why I said Relic overall did offer some good polish and support, not the "sell and dun care" mentality that is becoming more spread around nowadays.
*
SoB is badly made,IMO,and there are some coding errors on it.I hated SS because of them.

Still,Relic's support have been okay for me,due to bad past experience.I like DoW2 now. biggrin.gif

Gormaz,come join us on MP la.It would be more fun playing together,even it's a comp stomp,as i want to learn new races.

QUOTE(TomatomanzSeedlezz @ Aug 8 2009, 03:18 PM)
Hmmm.. (trying to be optimistic here)... since the upcoming game its different genre (if not mistaken its a RPG game), so it might be no impact to their best-selling RTS game..  whistling.gif (wishful thinking here too).

And yea, abt the subtle changes to the game, makes me appreciate more for the game.
*
I do hope it wont affect DoW2 support much,as im really looking forward to IG and Chaos in DoW2.

Anyway,you played well yesterday,especially Game 2 which is awesome.Great support but i think you got a little too sloppy at the beginning.

Scary is scary as usual.Now i know why am i so scared of Scary when im using RA.The green tide is scary.

We have a Steam group. Link: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/DOW2-MY

You can find me,if you want comp stomp.I'll join you if my connection allows me to play.I usually prefer to play at 7-9pm Malaysian time,or 10-12pm on weekends.

I think you can ask Edison to play with you as he is also quite new to the game.

Well, SS its developed by 3rd-party company (IronLore) not by Relic themselves... sadly after IronLore developed SoulStorm, the company "closed shop" liaoz..

And yea... i didnt play much dow2, so i need to have some warm-up sessions.. too blur at the begining..  blush.gif

Cheers tongue.gif

It's sad to see DoW1 end up like that. sad.gif

You are getting better in DoW2,IMO.

Is it just me or DoW2's graphics just got better in 1.4?

The walls actually drop chunks of rocks when tanks run through them and a lot more physics with environmental destructions.

Dawn of War II: Last Stand – Discover a game mode where it’s fun to lose.
To date, Dawn of War II’s core offerings have been its epic progression-based Campaign and fast-paced multiplayer that let you get straight to the action. In this panel, Relic developers will unveil a brand new game mode called The Last Stand that will expand the game to include co-operative based arcade gameplay. We will discuss the design intent and some of the obstacles we overcame while developing The Last Stand as well as the gameplay mechanics we used to ensure no one ever feels like a loser.
Damn,i was still thinking of a payload like mod for DoW2. sad.gif

Nevertheless,still awesome and it would appeal more casual gamers.

It's a new game mode,made by Relic themselves.

Modding for DoW2 is still pretty dead so far.

I have checked, it's DoW2 ver 1.3.1 in Blitzone, need to wait for the CC friendly ver1.4 to come out, saw a few peeps play DoW2 last night.

off topic: saw a dude with a shotgun(replica?) in Blitzone, heard like Blitzone kena rob a few times past few months, also not as many people in CC now even in Saturday night.

1.3.1 isnt that good.

I think 1.4 onwards,the game is much better.
