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

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

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.

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.

Seems like im floating a lot of reqs now.

The game feels more like vanilla DoW now.Good changes,IMO.

I just need to find somewhere with decent free wifi to try MP again.

You should know one thing.

If you play co-op,you'll be sharing army with your host.Like the host have 5 squads.He control 3,you control 2.

Also,the campaign is very repitative.Start with a landing mission,kill some orks.Then,one more mission,kill more orks to stablised.After that,there is some sort of shield,kill some generators and orks.Lastly,boss fight.The briefing and stuff will have a nice cutscene or some nice fancy looking briefing.

This is what i heard from those who had a hands on in october.Not as bad as DC or SS campaign.They say it's quite a challenge if you play on Primach or Chapter Master difficulty which are the 2 hardest difficulty.

Eldar and Orks campaign are coming,by paid DLC.

Read my post again.I updated some stuff.

Still,get it if you like the MP,like what you have played so far.

The change of pace might be nice for me.

Why?I dont mind as Valve is rich.DoW2 will be so much polished compare to now. Valve is probably the second company that have the "When it's done" policy.Or something like it.

You'll get the DLC campaign when the expansion comes out.It's bundled in the expansion.Not like you'll never gonna pay it,unless you pay.

I'll be coming for Waaagh tonight.

See you guys there la.I'll probably arrive after 8,so,you guys just start without me first.

redeye,sms me the com number when you all have started playing la.

I thought you are still in Ipoh?

I'll probably go back around 11 to 11:30 la.

Guys,im gonna be late for Waagh tonight.

Dont get com for me la.

I'll call red when i arrive.

Haha,great game last night.

Need to practice more now. Really lose touch with IG adi.

Please type properly la.

Not all of us here understand ex and stb la.

Im still considering.

Burnout or DoW2?

Sorry,my 2009 resolution : Buy Ori or dont play.

Not point pirating Steam or new Securom cause they dont really work in pirated copy.Especially Steam.

DoW2 is running Steam.Check my post in the last few pages of the last V.

Steam and GFWL.

I think the interview mentioned that it will include Steam in retail as it will be easier for them to patch,for us to redownload etc.

It's a good DRM too.I dont see why they dont want.

Yes.IG is there.

I think almost all reviews hate the campaign.

Guess we only got MP.A rather shallow MP.

Thats what i feel la.

Still dont really like DoW2's gameplay.Feels too streamlined.

DoW2 is much more tactical,though.

The pics of the statue for DoW2 draw.THQ made 150 of them.2 of them is in Malaysia.What a waste of money,IMO.
