Was reading this article on GameSpy about the Dawn of War II multiplayer beta and was wondering if any 'dopers have downloaded it and tried it out. I have to admit…this game sounds way cool. Not your grandpa’s tank rush type RTS, that’s for sure.
Sounds like just the ticket. I know the game ships mid-month next month, but I’m considering wasting my weekend giving this a whirl. I hate to drag myself away from the Stainless Steel mod for MTWII and some forays into the wasteland, but I’m thinking I just might have too. It may be a moral imperative…
Yeah, the original zerg faction they sound awesome. That’s what the writers of the article played and I thought their tactics sounded pretty workable. Not sure how my own play style will go with this game…I’m more a turtle type player usually. Myself, I’ve always favored the Space Marines for some reason…all that heavy armor I guess. I’m probably an Arend at heart…
Starcraft ripped off Warhammer 40K pretty heavy. Zerg are Tyranids. Protoss are Eldar. Humans are humans.
And yeah… I’m much the same. I love to turtle in RTS games. I covered the territory in turrets in Down of War and the second expansion, whatever that was. (Winter Assault was crap). Same in Company of Heroes.
