**DAWN OF WAR SOULSTORM**

[bakes0310]

Anyone got it yet, im still waiting for it on steam as ive got all the rest on steam. Is the campaign gone back to having a great story like the original DOW and Winter Assault.
Whos better Dark Elder or Sisters Of Battle. And finally whats your favourite race im gonna have to say, Chaos

Was tempted to get it, but after playing the demo there doesnt seem to be anything new or enough new content for the original factions. I only really like playing marine or IG.

 

[bakes0310]

I like the look of aerial units now, should add a bit more tactical thought to the game.

 

[Shamikebab]

Damn, had no idea this was out so soon *goes to order it*

 

[mysticsniper]

I got it on pre-order. Just waiting for the postman to deliver.

 

[DJammyRasta]

Have they added anything new to the older armies? space marines all the way.. personally i think they are clutching at straws with the series now who really cares about the sisters of battle?

 

[ninja2000]

Only the aerial units as far as I am aware

 

[Grimgoth]

waiting here for the postman too. As far as the story goes, I'm afraid I've read that it's more "resource" management style, ala Dark Crusade- but bigger, ie: over 7 planets if I am not mistaken. So no "original/winter assault" type storyline....

Am interested in seeing how the sisters of battle and the Dark Eldar special abilities which rely on a unit converting resources from a relic to another type of resource (faith for the sisters, can't remember the dark eldar), to power some other mucho special ability. My feeling is that those abilities are going to be a bit overpowered for now.

more planets but not much more actual battlegrounds.

the flying units are not amazing. ok for taking out powerplants and scouting but nothing substantial so far. the pathfinding is a bit temperamental as well.
the new races fit it pretty well but thats about it, nothing amazingly new, as with the camp map.

Sisters love flamers -

 

[ninja2000]

Shame...will definately wait til this is cheap

 

[Shamikebab]

Its cheap now, I just ordered it for under £15

 

[ninja2000]

not cheap enough for me by a long shot especially for an expansion of such an old game.
If they had updated the game engine, added some new features or something I might have considered it

Mine got dispatched some place yesterday but no sign of it as of yet. Looking to either Tomorrow maybe Monday til its here.

 

[ninja2000]

Yeah, they always take a couple of days as they are sent from guernsey

 

[Shamikebab]

Mine got dispatched from oh noes! yesterday but no sign of it as of yet. Looking to either Tomorrow maybe Monday til its here.

[Loosecannon]

Ordered for under £13, arrived today, installing now.


Very happy

 

[bakes0310]

Just ordered off steam dl@550

 

[bakes0310]

Finished dl but when i try to load it im getting a message saying " not available at this time try again later"

 

[Richdog]

This is getting a LOT of flak over at relic forums... bad (in some places, awful) animation, bad pathfinding, patchy textures, loads of problems with flying units... really annoying as I ordered it earlier today and was really looking forward to it.

It's probably not a bad game at all, but lets face it to follow on from previous games it had a hell of a lot to live up to!

hi
just wondering anybody who has bought this game....would i need install the previous games to play the different races in a lan/internet game.

i just found it a pain last time that i had to reinstall dawn of war...winter assualt and install dark crusade to make all the factions playable.
