Dawn Of War 2 new vid GO WATCH

Certainly looks to have borrowed a number of elements from CoH - such as the cover system for one, should be a nice addition!

It does look good - being able to customise your squads much like you can customise your commander unit in Dark Crusade will make it interesting - hopefully they will allow the customisations in on line play as well :)
 
"Blessed is the mind too small for doubt"

Yes, I believe this will be an amazing game....
 
Oh man I've been so excited ever since I saw the trailer with the 'nids!

I must say I'm slightly ambivalent, but more because it wasn't quite what I was expecting. Kudos to relic though, I love that they're trying to keep things fresh and moving forwards, not making C&C 45. It's what I liked about DoW (that and the 40k universe is just awesome) and CoH.

I was expecting more traditional style RTS shizz. But the Diablo/CoH cross is working pretty well for me! AS you've all been saying though, it does make me wonder about multiplayer.

Roll on Q1 '09!
 
Not impressed was hoping for much better from this.
Looks so far very similar to Dow graphics wise and apart from cover nothing imaginative.

To be fair the video's dreadful quality and it's WIP. I think it looks pretty sweet. I also suspect that when it's up and rolling and in full swing instead of that demo of what looked like it was probably the marines' first level it'll be a lot more impressive ;)

I agree. While cover is logical it dosn't really make good gameplay. I don't know why so many RTS's frown on base building TBH. A good RTS should involve building big citys AND big armys not either or. Turtling for the win :D
 
Looks like a very early build in that vid, as a lot of the CoH interface elements are evident... either that or Relic are just being lazy and recycling old code :p

But yeah, looks awesome! I can't wait :D
 
I'm really looking forward to this game. I'm not totally convinced about the squad sizes though. In the tabletop game SM squads range between 5 and 10 men. 3 just looks odd, imho ...
 
I wouldn't mind a Battlefleet Gothic style of game...or one where you carry out a campaign based on the Gaunt's Ghosts novels.

The same old RTS with 'small, limited' battles are a bit *yawn*
