Sheesh I haven't played an RTS for yonks, but this looks like it may be worth picking up. Mind you, if it's coming out around March it will have the mighty Diablo III to contend with.

Darkjinxter : there's no chance to see a Diablo III launchship before 2010. No one.
About DoW II: the fisrt one was a big -good- surprise to me and I enjoy more than 600 hours in his mp -even taking in consideration that I'm a mediocre player-. But the first campaign was good and the mp was simply unforgetable -I still play Dark Crusade and Soulstorm-. This new DoW II, instead, covers my heart with doubts. Seems more like the hero missions in Warcraft III, and to myself, the campaign in WC III was good, but the mp absolutely sucks. I'm really worried about the new DoW II multiplayer. |

I hope the 'boss battles' don't get tiresome. I didn't think games of this age needed the 'boss battle'.

Well the multiplayer is meant to still have the resource and base building system used in the previous DoW games, but obviously tweaked. Nt sure how the "unkillable" squad leaders will factor in.
I say wait for a demo before pronouncing doom. P.S. where is everyone getting the "Diablo 3 in March 2009" news, this is the 4th place I have seen such. Blizzard aint known for quick turnaround in game development, plus DoW2 would be up against Starcraft 2 anyways (which might make that release window). |

Really, the single player campaign is now only barely recognisable as an RTS: in fact we're calling it an RTS because they're calling it an RTS, but if they just described this game to people most of us would call it an action RPG. That said, it looks like a very good action RPG.
Also, because it really has to be said: "...chainsword (yes, a chainsaw within a sword) that supplies many varied, beautifully animated and extraordinarily bloody, finishers on the poor Orks, Eldar and Tyranids it connects with" Suffer not the Xeno to live! |

DoW was a great game, and TBH all I really wanted from a sequel was for it to be based on the CoH engine (and for it to have been released earlier this year instead of the rather awful Soulstorm, but never mind). As is stands though DoW II sounds like a very different game and so far a lot of what I've read about it is pretty off-putting...

There is an opportunity to play the game early - on Monday we are hosting a Dawn of War II Community Day in London.
This is an invite-only event, over 16's only. Guests will be able to try out the single player Space Marine campaign, as well as taking part in some 3v3 multiplayer games. You will also be able to meet Relic's Lead Designer Jonny Ebbert, and Designer Byron Chow. If you'd like to come, drop me an email on ukwebmaster@thq.com = THQ Webmaster |

"Relic has recognised that within the ranks of PC gamers there are countless numbers who'd appreciate RTS gaming but have been put off by their assumed complexity, the amount of time they consume and their cruelty when victory conditions aren't reached.
This is me! But I do love DoW! |

I'm afraid there are no similiar events planned elsewhere in europe? Like say, in Germany/Berlin, for example? ;-) Anyway I'm going to buy this on street day as relic's RTS-Games are the only ones which I enjoy playing - a hell of a lot! Even if the game is set in a dull, worn-out scenario like WW2. Even though I suck at micromanagement and skirmish formostly gives me the picture of a guppy sharing a fish tank with piranhas on crack. |

Sounds very similar to an RTS game that came out a little while ago called Worldshift. Unfortunately, the concept ended up being better than the actual game. Hopefully the people at Relic will take the better elements of that game and combine them to make an excellent sequel.
