Dawn of War II Beta

Post by SenisterDenister »

Its pretty fun, it has all the armies and all the commanders, full tech trees and five multiplayer maps. Its fun, I mean, real fun; more so than Company of Heroes. This game is certainly living up to the hype. Its well optimized, runs smooth and fast like a Kenyan.

Anyone else playing it? If so give me a shout out, my Steam ID is firebat1690 (I'm in #Fallout too), and my Games for Windows Live name is TurdRifle.

I'll get it on the 28th since Steam refuses to recognize my Soulstorm code.

This might be a stupid suggestion, but did you include hyphens? Two of my friends were bitching about theirs not working and it turned out they didn't include those when they entered their CD Keys.

Well you can sure forget about any mods for a game that uses it.

As for mods, since its running on the Essence Engine (the CoH one) I would find making mods for it difficult, but there's been a large community backlash against Relic and a really big petition has been going on for a while now about it. Not sure whether it'll work or not. The downloadable content will be free, and people that have pay accounts aren't going to get any bonus' or extra material. Relic has promised players that much.

Yeah, sorry I wanted to ask someone who's opinion was important.

Douchebag.

Edit: Sorry, you might be okay. Maybe.

I bought it over steam and you get to play the beta.

I originally thought this would be an rts in the style of red alert 3. At first I was appalled but am now pleasantly suprised. Quite a good game.

Getting access to the beta was quite honestly the only reason I bought it. Don't know how you got "3 Jovial Spatula" from SenisterDenister. Kudos from that, must've taken some bit of brainstorming there.

What's the deal then..?
Any new units?

Is chaos still in, and is the defiler actually a defiler this time and does it hit harder than a stick of melted butter?

Only races available for DoW2 is Tyrannids, Eldar, Space Marines and Orkz. I imagine other races will be added like they did last time.

Any other examples of things matching up to what they are on the tabletop, or of the opposite?
