you can swap the demo charges from the scouts to another squad
True but other units can not infiltrate. I do occasionally swap them out for the 6th unit you get later on as well now that packs a punch
.
nah im not anoyed at that as much, im annoyed at why they changed the gameplay, its madness.
because this was one of my favorite army builder style games along with like, total anihilation and supreme commander ect, but bah, its lost my ratings, and theres not many that are the quality of these few so its not very nice when i see a builder game change style, becaus eim never gonna be playing dow2 again after i completed the campaign, i mean call me sad but i still have a play on total anihilation 11years after it was released.
nothing has ever come close to it, imo obviously, thats why i still play it.
You've still got the original to play, I think they were trying to change it because of the way Red Alert 3 was going and they wanted a differant experience.
If it would have been Base building then the community probably would be arguing because it wasn't any differant from the first one. I'm only guessing but the community at the moment wants some base building so they might release some more MP modes and a skirmish mode.

That idiot could well be me! I am new to the game, but the local advertisement is massive. It makes everyone who walks into the store think tis is a great game.
I find thi sgame extremely difficult to get start, I believe the huge capabilities map scares me off!
You get your first Terminator suit on the second Angel Forge mission, and the Dreadnaught after you get all 5 tyranid samples.
Just completed the campaign in co-op mode. I really enjoyed it. They've definitely taken the best bits from all of the previous Dawn of War campaigns and added them all together. I especially love the scouts. They become so badass by the end.
i really like this game so far its excellent the way no squad seems any less powerful than the others and the small amount of units makes you learn how to use each of them 
in the original i hardly used scouts & my best tactic was to just turtle my way up the skill tree untill i could make some op units and then overun the enemy

Woot...
Range damage on this guy is immense! This is the 2nd suit I've picked up. First one has gone to the Tac squad.
I'm happy now.
Good Evening guys!
Just finished watching MOTD. Just a quick question regarding DOW2 and Steam.
I'm planning to buy my PC from Overclockers shortly. My PC aint nothing to shout about at the moment. Just a normal 8600GT card etc.
If I installed it on this current PC, am I going to have problems installing it on my new PC with DRM restrictions? a guy at GAME told me I can only install it 3 times.
Apologies for the 'noob' question. Just wanted to be sure.
Cheers,
Sammy

I think he means it's limited to 3 installs at one time but I'm not entirely sure about that. As it goes Steam is the platform it uses and that means you can install it as many times as you like providing it's not installed on another computer.

Fun, if somewhat underwhelming.
Expecting them to screw it up very soon.
THQ / Relic have a terrible track record of balance / gameplay decisions (See: Original DoW / CoH:OF).
Eldar are still terrible.

Yeah well now that they use Steam to get patches out the process should be easier and faster but I also think they will mess it up.
They also intend to release DLC through GFWL. The problem is nobody knows what that this DLC is exactly going to be, some have speculated Maps, Units and Campaigns but if it's Units thats going to really mess up the balance.
