Hands on with the multiplayer from Dawn of War II, with a 3 minute in game video. :D My most anticipated game of next year. Getting a pretty poor download speed from 1UP, but Shacknews also have the same video (I think) up.

They not blocked where i am, yet lol.

*edit*
Game looks ok, video is pants tho. They keep swiching between fights too quick and messing with viewing angles to try make it look nicer.

Not really a good vid to demonstrate gameplay, just graphics.

That made me giggle.

From what i've seen, they've made a big move towards squad based management rather than full army. I think your choice of commander will play a big part in the gameplay and difficulty.

Interesting to see how it turns out.
 
I am so, so hyped for this game. The single player looks awesome as well. The idea of carrying squads through the game, so that you'll end up with some customised, battle hardened squads, and some fresh faced recruits really appeals to me.

But then again, even though I don't participate anymore, i'm a big Warhammer 40k nerd.

The multiplayer on this might bring me back into RTS MP. DoW1 MP bored me, because what essentially happened was people would create as many close combat troops as possible and run at you, or lots of shooty units and run at you. There was no need for transports or any kind of strategic movement. This looks like the 'strategy' element of RTS will be brought back in.
