like I wrote below, if you expect a DoW1-style game, you may be disappointed (like I was) at the reduced scale. But if you focus on the game itself, you start realising that it's tons of fun, has a certain "addiction" factor with all the experience and loot and IS tactical. I still have yet to try MP, I'm sure that's fun, too. Installation was annoying, I agree. But that's a one-time thing. And at this moment I eperience no bugs in the game. I did experience BSOD crashes at first, but I'm not sure if that was b/c of my OC or because the game had some memory bug which was patched. If you get a chance, try it out, watch some videos, give it a chance, don't just go by ppl's comments. Someone's always gonna dislike any game. Gamespot gave the game 8.5 and FS gave them high scores too, and I think if you focus on the game w/o comparing it, it deserves these marks. » Login to reply to this  DanTheMathlete (235)   Mar 17, 2009 - 01:09 pm I cant resell the game so I cant take a chance on wasting $50. What else do gamers have but reviews both professional and personal? You are posting on a review site which suggests that u yourself trust reviews! I don't like RPG games. I find the accumulation of numbers in a server pointless and that ultimately I am beatin because some 10 yr old who doesn't have a job, or a life, can spend day and night accumulating those very numbers I cant be bothered to care about. » Login to reply to this  M ichal (312)   Mar 18, 2009 - 08:10 am yes, I do trust reviews from respectable professional sites/magazines, not so much personal reviews. I never said I didn't. I indicated that what I consider Professional review sites gave the game good marks. I don't think in MP you build yor characters or anything like that, it's not an RPG! You play normally, like in a normal RTS, but with fewer units. It's just the single player that's a bit RPG-ish. If I am wrong, someone correct me. you're right about reselling the game, so if that's a deal-breaker for you then I guess don't buy it. I jsut think you should make the judgement urself based on videos or a demo at a friend's house, not ppl complaining about performace or DRM. » Login to reply to this

1.)Steam and Windows Live are pretty much the future of PC gaming. The ease of which you can purchase and download games is a great thing. I'm not sure what the problem is there. 2.)Definitely not tactically simple. That's a common misconception with small army games. Those people are most likely playing on easy. 3.)That's a preference thing and I respect not liking small army size. For this game however I think it works great. 4.)Skirmish mode is a staple of RTS. Not sure what there is to hate about that. 5.)I didn't run into any issues other than the whole Windows Live thing which can be fustrating. 6.)A patch for that was just recently posted. 7.)That truly sucks about 7th AMD Single core processors. I'll agree that's lame-o. It's true that if you don't like CoH or smaller army sizes then you might not like the game. But for the story line, graphical content, RPG and coop factor, and good online play, then I think they did a great job. » Login to reply to this  DanTheMathlete (235)   Mar 09, 2009 - 06:01 am | Edited on Mar 09, 2009 - 06:09 am Read the reviews on amazon. 1) I have steam, I'm just reporting on my findings. Of course, this is the future of gaming but buyers should be forewarned. 2) They beat it on hardest setting and report that the game boils down to point and click with a few war gear selections being the primary tactical decisions. I have been following DoW2 since the beta and this has been the reported case. 4) I might be mis-quoting, I didn't get all the complaints about skirmish mode either as what you said is true. Maybe its the small number of maps. 5) I already suffer through using a windows OS just so I can game in the first place. A windows DRM just plain sounds scary. 6) I already know how to play my steam games off line it just isn't clear to the average user. (im so above avg it hurts :) 7) SSE2 is pretty old. I mean, come on. That is almost like saying,"They dont support win 98! WTF?!?!" LOL My venice core is 4 or 5 years old now and it supports SSE2. Also, it seemed that a lot of the ppl complaining didn't online game so that component didn't encourage them in the least. » Login to reply to this

» and... to this summary, please add: 7th AMD single core processors CAN NOT RUN IT (requires SSE2 instruction set, not available in Althon 3200+ & others) and W40K fans are NOT warned about this issue by Relic/THQ. Link: http://forums.steampowered.com......t=808609&page=1 » Login to reply to this

Dude Apocalypse-scale armies would be sick, but would also probably cause your system to melt into a bubbly mess. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see it, especially as an owner of a 7,500 combined Space Wolf/Imperial Guard army...yes, I am that big of a nerd that I play the table top. -Tom » Login to reply to this  JCapozzi (4)   Feb 28, 2009 - 07:10 pm | Edited on Feb 28, 2009 - 07:11 pm We'd love to do an Apocalypse scale game (and a Dark Heresy RPG, and a Space Hulk game, and a W40K FPS, and Battlefleet Gothic and...). Unfortunately we have other fish to fry. The current game alone is going to keep us busy for the next few years. » Login to reply to this  M ichal (312)   Mar 01, 2009 - 09:31 pm Fair enough, I have yet to finish the campaign but am already looking forward to an x-pack and what new stuff it'll bring. So far the game's really great. » Login to reply to this  Kessandra (1008)     Mar 01, 2009 - 06:52 am There is a War40k FPS coming out, I believe. It doesn't really fit the lore all that well but it's a Gears of War-esque third-person shooter for the Xbox 360 and PS3. It's called Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine. Check out the YouTube link.

Funny thing with me, I don't play the games, I just paint the minis ;) They're absolutely phenomenal! » Login to reply to this  M ichal (312)   Feb 26, 2009 - 01:19 pm Nice. I'm working on a Black Legion army now and then I got a bunch of other boxes to finish, but when I finally get to a Space Marines army, it'll be Dark Angels. » Login to reply to this  Skippy989 (78)   Feb 26, 2009 - 12:52 pm Well since Yoda left his armies at my house they are all painted. Have fun with the first ever Rainbow themed space wolves with matchin Lehman Russ. :-D Apocalypse would be great. So would the addition of just some of the basic mission types from the table top game such as Rearguard and Bunker Assault. I have about 3,200 in Tau and almost 2,000 in Grey Knights. Needless to say I would LOVE an expansion with an Inquisitorial campaign. » Login to reply to this  Yoda_Blues (263)     Feb 26, 2009 - 09:42 am Unfortunately, not all painted. I started with Guard about 3 years ago, ironically enough, because of DoW. I promised I would wait to start a new army until they were painted...then I started reading about Space Wolves and really wanted to paint some Space Marines to change things up. Sadly, neither army is done. I just haven't had enough time. -Tom » Login to reply to this

Winter Assault = 1st Expansion Dark Crusade = 2nd Expansion Soul Storm = 3rd Expansion Unless I'm missing one which is very possible since I just woke up. » Login to reply to this  Yoda_Blues (263)    Feb 25, 2009 - 08:08 am "Unless I'm missing one which is very possible since I just woke up." The unreleased 5th expansion, Dawn of War: Pony Dress-up. -Tom » Login to reply to this  Kessandra (1008)    Feb 25, 2009 - 07:35 am Oh God I'm such an idiot. I woke up wrong today lmao For some reason I always associated the original Dawn of War as an expansion and not the actual game. >_ » Login to reply to this  Skippy989 (78)   Feb 25, 2009 - 07:50 am Haha, we'll just say Dawn of War was a very different expansion to "Fire Warrior" the god-awful FPS that came out before it. :-D » Login to reply to this
