Dawn of War 2

[Pyramidhe@d]

yes. i have it now!!!
anyways. if you have it, talk about how your campaign or multiplayer game is going right now. what is your fav wargear or character. or if you multiplayer, what is your fav commander unit and wargear choice?

oh. and davian thule is super.

anyone know where to get termy armour in the campaign btw? i got storm bolters, cyclone missile launchers and assault cannons but no armour anywhere.

 

[Crusad3r91]

You get Termy armor in the Angel Forge mission, after the defence. In the end you'll have a total of about 2 termy armours.
Hope this helped. ^^

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

hmm. i thought so. thanks ^_^ . i will get it once i kill all the tyranid invasion.

CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS CHAOS

Awnser your questions?

 

[wereguy2]

Didnt really like it, it wasnt an RTS, no buildings D:

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i find normally researching and building to be tedious but an important part to all RTS as it is a main part of strategy. dow2 is more like more bigger version Squad Command imo. i think THQ tried really hard to make it as close to the table top game
played only tyranid in skrimish. didnt really like it. really straight forward. didnt really see what the levels are for. carnifex is way too slow to be used effectively.
hive tyrant doesnt even have a bonesword in the model.

i have to say skirmish is crap but the campaign is pretty fun. gonna try the other race in skirmish once i finish campaign.

@ Gespenst: yes. i too want chaos. they better have it in expansion

 

[Velmarshal]

Table top games rule.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Ironically, the Campaign is the less-liked part of the game (from what I've heard). However, I like both parts of the game, it's just a matter of taste, I'd say. ^^
But, I must admit, I miss the Company of Heroes bigger battles...

And, on a side note, IMHO base building is one of the many things that an RTS can have but, still, it's Real Time Strategy and DoW 2 is completely based on it. My opinion, of course. ^^

EDIT: you're right, Velm! =D

 

[Velmarshal]

Because there is nothing more satisfying than looking at your just painted flawless space marine.
And Crusad3r91, every change has good points and bad points. By making it in company of heroes style they did remove some of that old dow charm. Ironically, I prefer CoH.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

oh. speaking of painting, i finished painting my first sqaud of marines. YAY!! will put the photos once i get hold of a camera.
and i finally saved enough money to buy that plague marines. gonna buy when holiday comes.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Well, I love the Company of Heroes style but I love Warhammer 40k too. DoW2 is a mix of those two, so I love it. ^^

 

[TheGodOfIron]

Too bad there ain't the necrons in it.
And yes, I heard you can level up your Dreadnoughts.
A way to level up your dreadnoughts real quickly is to allow them to fight battles solo with the enemies whole army, which they are usually capable of.

 

[Tyranid]

The Carnifex isn't bad at all Pyramidhe@d. You just gotta upgrade it with thornback to gain charge ability or then just give them Venom Cannon, since Venom Cannon > All.

Also I don't see why is it so bad that the Hive Tyrant doesn't have a bonesword considering that that is not even part of their basic weaponry. The Bonesword just gives the Hive Tyrant a shorter range Cataclyst ability. I prefer it with 4 scything talons or 2 scything talons and a venom cannon.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i do use venom cannon but it is just too damn slow. maybe i am just impatient...

bone sword looks very stylish ^_^ in the miniatures.i also wanted to see it whip someone with lash whip.

there is an upgrade called bonesword in the wargear but it has no visible effect on the model which is dissappointing considering how many visual variations there are in the campaign.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Don't forget that the Tyrant is immune to suppression and can demolish the obstacles on its way, so it's an effective anti-heavy weapons unit. ^^
And it also gives synapse!

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

lictor gives synapse too. i like using flesh hooks for fleeing commanders. very fun. no real abilities on tyrant. just simple charge and kill. lictor is more mobile too. and a tyrant cant stay next to gaunts cos it tramples all the precious covers. very frustrating.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Everyone has his tastes: I personally prefer direct assault so I'd use the Tyrant. ^^

 

[Gespenst]

I'm not getting Daow until they have chaos.

To me, playing warhammer is not worth it without chaos.

 

[Crusad3r91]

It will have it, it will have it. Possibly along the IG. If so, at least two people will be happy for the next expansion!! =D

 

[Tahril]

Dawn of War 2 is the second best game ever. Don't ask what the first ones are, cuz one doesn't exist yet.

 

[Gespenst]

Sc2 exists in the beta stages.

 

[H-Bomber]

Currently im making a Dawn of War II map for wc3.

 

[Warhunter]

You have any screenshots?

 

[StormWarriors2]

Ok DOW2 was good but the only problem with it was that it didn't allow you to dual wield weapons.

 

[potatotop]

i'm up to getting the Pure Gene sample

 

[Vengeancekael]

Ok DOW2 was good but the only problem with it was that it didn't allow you to dual wield weapons.

It's not pure rpg xD
I find dow2 to be alot of fun, already finished the campaign for 2 times, i liked the jetpack guys In multiplayer,i usually take the eldar race, the blinky hero:> (Yeah i forgot all the names^^)

 

[StormWarriors2]

Eldar are rigged in DOW2.
They need to be tuned down.
At least allow the Space Marines to have a Land Raider come on! or at least some free guardsmen for gods sake.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

DoW 2 chaos rising adds a genestealer and a tyrant guard while getting rid of carnifex
the rest, i didnt really care so i didnt read up

 

[Cthulus]

Why get rid of the Carnifex? It's almost as iconic as the Genestealer >.<

 

[Tahril]

The 'fexes are overpowered. Three of them with Venom Cannons will demolish EVERYTHING. Give me a gamecam type thing, I'll prove it.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

no need to prove. just tried it myself
muhehehe puny dreadnoughts. pew pew pew and they are dead

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

oh btw...orgasmic

blood letters and greater demon of nurgle and judging from the doombolts, they will have a chaos sorcerer or maybe even tzeentch. from what i am hearing, you can dedicate your self to nurgle, khorne and tzeentch. no slaanesh, sorry guys

as well as there being space hulk like missions

 

[StormWarriors2]

wow.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

oh yeah....and you can follow the path of corruption and play as evil/chaos

 

[Fussiler1]

Ah, man, I just love to combine a force with Dreadnoughts and Marines and beat the shit out of the opponent..
I dislike Assault Troopers and other vehicles, for some reason.

 

[Gespenst]

DoW 2 is a dissapoint. Aside from the delicous new graphics, the downsized deployable armies was really the thing that I didn't like about DoW2. While I didn't think anything was wrong with basebuilding, its not something I particularly miss. If small armies was an issue in DoW, why make the armies smaller in DoW2?

 

[M1n1sh4]

I think the same that Gespent...
