Dawn of war 2, multiplayer is crap?

Re: Dawn of war 2, multiplayer is crap?

I can only recommend DoW2. In the end the basebuilding "issue" is taste. Some like it the old way, some like it this new way.

DoW1 is still the better game, I agree, but DoW2 now is better than DoW1 without its addons.

You also get great coop modes with dow2, as you can play the whole campaign with a friend which in my opinion is the best part of the game and there now is last stand, a mode where you're fighting with a hero of your choice against waves of opponents.

And soon Chaos will join as well. :)

Ya ill be getting M2 and the Kingdoms expansion, seems like a much better game and I loved the demo. When I play the campaign and get some mods Im gonna find out how to edit it so it can be 0 or 1 turn to make units for all factions. I just really got used to 0 and 1 turn campagins after playing Rome:Medieval mod, Roma Surrectum mod and SPQR:Total war. Also saw a mod in Medieval where the entire world is the Campaign map and you can end up waging war with the Chinese and Japanese.

What dawn of war expansion has the most people playing? I only have Dawn of War and Winter Assault, hardly any people play that now with only about 10 or 40 online on average.

I liked the 40k version of WH, it had a better RTS feel too it, this is just over the top.

Yes. Although I really like E:TW, M2:TW was the best in the series ever. I've spent a good 400 hours playing it and only stopped when I had milked every last drop of fun out of it.

On the subject of Total war, I enjoy Empire slightly more than i did M2, mainly because i like the era better.

On the subject of DOW, i like 2 better due to the fact its more tactical from when i played the demo/beta thing they had on steam, Although the low amount of troops, it seemed to be more reminiscent of the board game.

Now the Total War series just needs Shogun 2 and I won't play anything different. :)

To bad ran no jidai never comes out as it seems. -.-

If they made Shogun 2 I'd never leave my house.

I really like where they're taking the series. It gets old having to start from scratch and build up a base everytime you play an RTS.

As for total war, I really wish creative assembly would tweak empire a bit more. The AI needs work and well it just felt like a concept game more than anything. I really enjoy the changes they made, and am really disappointed at what I've read about the Napoleon expansion turned full blown game.

And as in most RTS games there will be only about 3 different efficient ways to build your buildings it gets boring anyway.

Its there for a reason. CoH for example, If you play as US you are faced with being able to start with 2 buildings, giving you and either or scenario in what you should do to win the map. This goes further into adding depth to strategy, having to think on the fly which building is going to give me what I need to deal with this unit etc.

I agree, building for the sake of building is annoying and new ideas about how to replace base building should obviously be introduced. But DoW2 for me just felt it was all being done on a smaller scale than it should be. I much expected DoW2 to be upscaled from CoH with much much more gore, gibs and action but it took the other direction, which is not exactly bad, I just dont think it fits that well.

So in other words, let's graphically enhance the original and allow more units? I can't say that would be a bad thing, but as a gamer I get tired of spending my hard earned cash on games that are essentially a graphically enhanced version of something I've played before. Relic at least isn't allowing DoW down the path that many series have tred...i.e. unreal, cod, bf, aoe, and empire earth.

I'm sure alot of gamer's would like a much grander DoW, but you also have to remember warhammer games are based off of pencil and paper rpg's where you are stuck controlling one player and not a massive army....maybe relic's trying to preserve that....
