I've never played Supreme Commander online nor I have played it for a long time but I must admit I liked very much the epicness of every battle (mostly LANs)... too bad it's dead now.

 

[Velmarshal]

Lets get back to the topic.
DoW IIs awesomeness.

 

[Warhunter]

yeah!

 

[Arthas_92]

hello Warhammer fans!
Im sry about my inactivity these past few weeks...but I ve been with some problems with my pc...hope everything is fine with all of u!
anyway...
Im a little outdated in Warhammer 40k stuff...and about DoWII too...so don t expect to read some very inteligent stuff about warhammer...
Do u know if the word(race) "Tyranid", has anything to do with Tyrannosaurus???
cause the tyranids defenitly look like T-Rexes and Raptors, right? or is it just me?? :|

 

[Velmarshal]

Why would you be sorry for your inactivity?
And about tyraind thing, probably.

 

[Tyranid]

I'm fairly sure that the Tyranid is just coincidental with Tyrannosaurus. Both derive from Tyrant/tyranny which is pretty much a single person ruling with absolute power.

 

[HailFireer]

Yes, tyranids look like a mix of dinos and zerg. I would like that they are more dino and less zerg. I hate zerg.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Don't think that Tyranids have been made based on the Zergs... it's the opposite =P
WH40k was already out (since a lot of years) when Starcraft was made.

 

[Warhunter]

maybe... But, in the first w40k didn't tyranids exist, right?
so It may be the other way around.

 

[Tyranid]

Nope Warhunter. 1st edition of Warhammer didn't have Tyranids (if I remember correct) but atleast 2nd edition had. 2nd edition came BEFORE Starcraft.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Tyranid's right:

Quote from Wikipedia

Tyranids were first described in Rick Priestley's Rogue Trader, the first edition of the Warhammer 40,000.

And they were in the 2nd edition for sure (1990).

 

[HailFireer]

I dont think it matters. I just wish they would be less like zerg.

 

[Velmarshal]

It's the zerg looking like the tyranids.
You want to say that they should look less like themselves.

 

[Arthas_92]

lol!

 

[Mechanical Man]

Tyranids are directly taken from Alien series and they made many variations of it.

 

[Crusad3r91]

"Directly" seems a quite big word for that.
Otherwise, I agree with you if you just mean the basic reference.

 

[Arthas_92]

hey guys what does the beta version of DoWII includes??? (campaign, skirmishes, multiplayer, etc...)
cause Im downloading it right now!

 

[Warhunter]

It only includes Multiplayer.
It's one of the bad things.

 

[Arthas_92]

oh ok thx!
only 4 races in the game right?
do u think that more will be included in future expansions...like the previews game?
as u know most of the races in DoWI were introduced via expansions(5 races) while the original started with only 4...
lets hope Relic does the same with DoWII!
this is one of the things I loved about DoWI...Its wide variety of races...(though some look the same...lol) xD

 

[Warhunter]

All races is Space Marines, Eldar, Orks and Tyranids. And yes, if they whont add moore races Many will proplaby hate them.

You can also choose from 3 different heroes of each race. And Aggressive, an healer and a deffensive.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

i personally want DOW2 just for its campaign.
have you guys tried anything other than the space marines?

 

[Crusad3r91]

Yep, I tried every race in DoW2. I play online with SMs only though.

 

[Warhunter]

Same here. I only play online whit SM.

 

[Velmarshal]

Space Marines! For the Imperium!

 

[Arthas_92]

my download is almost done...hehehe...=D
can we play against each other via IP or something in this Beta?

 

[Velmarshal]

I'm currently doing my orpg so I'll buy the complete game when it comes out.

 

[HailFireer]

1 thing I domt like about SM is theyr zealosy to serve the emperor.

 

[Velmarshal]

An army without discipline is an angry mob.

 

[Crusad3r91]

Agreed 101%.

 

[Warhunter]

An army whitout discipline is quite easily destroyed. And people sometimes fight better when they belive in things.

 

[Velmarshal]

Not sometimes, always.

 

[Warhunter]

ok. Always.

 

[Velmarshal]

You have russian and german armies from the ww2.
Iraqy army nowdays. Spetznaz, every Solider needs to beilive in something.
A man, nation or anything else worth of fighting for it.
Eldar beilive in avatar?
Tau in greater good.
IG, SM, BS in Emperor and the Imperium of Man.
Chaos, their gods.
And so on...

 

[HailFireer]

Ok disciplene and beliving in something is ok. But most soldiers that belive in something wouldent give theyr lives, unlike space marines. They are cool, but they are all like "we will die so Imperioum, and it will ahve 0,0000000000000001% of living 5 more minutes!!!!!".

 

[Warhunter]

I know. But that is good. Better than live in fear.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

what is even better is to let some other idiot die while you ascend to daemonhood. ha!

 

[Velmarshal]

Ok, Hailfireer give me an example of an army that belivies in nothing and that is good at fighting. Just one nation or a race.

 

[Warhunter]

I bet that Hailfireer dont know any. Either do I.

 

[Velmarshal]

Here are some quotes:
"Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered
automatic weapons."
"Diplomats are just as essential in starting a war as soldiers are for
finishing it."
"It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it."
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV
will be fought with sticks and stones."
And my favourites:
"If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed toward you."
"Tracers work both ways."
"Teamwork is essential, it gives them other people to shoot at."
"Friendly fire - isn't."

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

orks and tyranids
orks are driven by the desire to ShoOot at fIngs, ChoP at fingS, burn FIngs and BOOM!!! fings all for da WAAAAARGH!!!!!
orks are too stupid to believe anything except the fact that their skin is green, big gunz are good and that red bullitz go fasta!!!

tyranids are driven by the hive mind to a singular goal so they have no desire nor discipline at all. i dont think they care if they get killed cos its impossible to wipe them out. they cant be called an "army" in a sense because they are controlled by one queen.
they dont believe anything.

two army that believe in barely nothing and yet are the biggest threat to humanity

"Cut the head of the snake and the body will die." G. RAAM GoW

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

"what doesnt kill you will cripple you enough so some other thing can kill you"
some random shit cos you were talking about killing

 

[Tyranid]

I wouldn't exactly call the Hive Mind a Queen since it's nothing more than the collected consciousness of the whole Tyranid race. And yeah, Tyranids cannot be killed, but they can be defeated with massive plot armour and shitty plot devices.

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

those dastardly plot devices strikes again!!!

tyranid, you sure hate those plot devices (^_^)

 

[HailFireer]

Anyone played Red Alert 3? Is it any good? As I saw on trailers and prewevs it looks aewesome.

 

[Warhunter]

I havent played it.

 

[Tyranid]

Indeed Pyramid, I sure do hate them plot devices!

 

[Warhunter]

What is that plot devices?

 

[Pyramidhe@d]

previews ALWAYS looks awesome.
take starcraft 2 for example.
the demo looks awesome.
the concept art looks awesome(except for soem which are total rip of wh40k).
the screenies look awesome
but you know what. the models themselves look like shit and what bloody good is a concept art or a trailer if the game probably uses one gazillionth the number of poly used. or worse yet, the game doesnt seem to ever come out.
i stopped judging games from trailers

@ tyranid: yep. sometimes they just piss you off cos they make everything so impossible. like how SM are so imba. no offence Warhunter but GW makes SM so hard to kill.
but you know what. impossible things can happen. in tabletop anyway. i just got into it like a 2 weeks ago and me and my bro bought Assault on black Reach set. i played ork and him SM.
i was losing bad then one my ork boy managed to kill the space marine captain, kill a termy, dodge 3 melta shots from a dread and got into close combat with the dread then managed to survive for 3 turns.
LOLZ i tell ya. i LOLed hard. i gave the ork a medal, a piece of shiny plastic.
i painted one model so far. takes an hr to paint.

 

[Warhunter]

lolz. I don't take any offence.
