Are you ready for a new Dawn? (Dawn of War 2)

[Sinatar]

Oh Shiiiiiitt


YES YES YES

[Vaporak]

Oh god this better be Dawn of War 2.

[Sinatar]

Dawn of War 2 gets one whole response? Maybe I should have said something disparaging about the Wii in the title or something.

[Anasui Kishibe]

I'm a total DOW addict, so this translates into effing good news

[Kodiak]

OH


MY


FUCKING



GOD

[Guled]

I thought scans are not allowed?

[Mindlog]

I can say without any falsehood that I am most certainly ready for a new dawn.

Venerate the immortal emperor and whatnot.

[Draft]

Can't wait.

You know, I was kind of harsh on Soulstorm, and I stand by my impressions, but goddamn it I've played it like 20 hours in the last 3-4 days. I just fucking LOVE Dawn of War.

[Broadbandito]

score

I think an ad/tease is fair. It's not like he's posting images and articles.

I'm not sure if I'm ready for a new Dawn. Especially since I've never touched the old Dawn.

Misleading thread title?

[TemplaerDude]

high fives all around baby.

[Durante]

AWESOME.

Who wants to bet that Tyranids will be in?

[Das-J]

Count me as very interested!

Rendered with the Triple SLI 9800 GTX? Please.

[Kodiak]

the nerd in me is screaming yes, and simulataneously trying to decide whether that is an Ultramarine captain in terminator armor with tyranid bone trophies, or a chaos chosen in
terminator armor with chaos spiky bits. However, the single power fist and bolter are typical to a Space Marine captain, so Im guessing its the former. OMG TYRANIDS CONFIRMED

Iron Lore is not Relic

[Buttonbasher]

Damn! I need into that Football Manager Live Beta!

No.

No, they are not.

[Fragamemnon]

Hopefully it'll be ready for the fall-Dawn of War 2, Red Alert 3, and Starcraft 2 in the same year. Wow.

[Amir0x]

OHMYFUCKINGSHIT

[Vaporak]

Hopefully we get some good info out of the next issue, my friends and I played the shit out of the original DoW back when it first came out. We all totally geeked out when we heard about it and got into the beta as early as we could.

I enjoyed Dawn of War as well, but the engine hasn't aged well with me in the face of CoH. I'm not saying I want prettier graphics (I turn my CoH graphics wayyy down to make it playable) but the gameplay improvements available on the essence engine is something I can't wait to try out in the DoW universe.

this is a very good thing

Burn the heretic.

Day 1. But DAMNIT... it'd better be AMAZING! I know it will, only because I have no idea what nids are, and everyone seems to want them, and DoW2 will have them.

[Slo]

They're going to go head to head with Starcraft 2?

[Minsc]

How do you go head to head with a headless entity?

[lynux3]

Almost thought it was a hint at what Ready At Dawn was up to next.

[Draft]

I do love the DoW art. That space marine looks more like a tree trunk than a human

[ghst]

With everything they've learned from CoH, this could be something really special.

[Jenga]

the best RTS series of all time finally gets the sequel!

please, PLEASE let the IG be in it. tyranids are practically guaranteed and the IG vs. tyranids are among the most iconic match-ups in WH40K

[Slo]

How do you go head to head with a headless entity?

Swords. Not words.

Nids are the Zerg.

[devilscallmedad]

If this turns out to be a expansion i am going to be so pissed.


And oh YES YES YES OMGFUCKINGYES

[JDSN]

TIME TO PURGE SOME HERETIC BITCHES!!

That's not enough venerating you bug-eyed son of a bitch.

There's no way. This is definitely a sequel.

I would be amped if this game launched with a ludicrous ten races with the obvious addition of Tyranids, but that's not really conducive to the xpac revenue stream.

[Jenga]

So, any thoughts on what the starting armies will be? Space Marines, Tyranids, and Chaos are guaranteed, but I wonder what the fourth race will be.

[Minsc]

Nids are the Zerg.

I guess I knew a little bit after all, just from reading that they purposively didn't include them in DoW because they couldn't put them in without doing them justice, and the DoW engine couldn't handle them.

I take it they're the Zerg on steroids? At least that's what I'm hoping for. Nid squads in the hundreds, or at least dozens, instead of your typical dozen.

I'm hoping for at least 6. They have to put the Eldar and Orkz and Necron, they're all too unique to keep out. I guess they might want to torment us and purposely put them in to an expansion... but please don't!!! :)

Orks, no doubt. Gorgutz is the closest thing DoW has to Kerrigan or Kane.

I heard rumors they'll be sporting random mutations and what not to give justice the way they are presented in fluff, something they couldn't do in DoW. Also, path fixing will probably be addressed. Thank God.

Kill the Mutant. Fear the Bridge.

[Mindlog]

I'd be hard pressed to imagine DoW 2 with no Eldar.

I'm not too big into the lore or anything, but I hope they ditch the Tau. They are kind of fun to play because of their range and how their units work, but their fluff is just boring. Too 'perfect.'

The Tau and Necrons are definitely expansion-races (along with DE and SoB). No one cares about them enough to want them in the core game. I'm personally rooting for IG, but dah Orks would be cool too.

[Concept17]

This is great great news. One of the best RTS games is getting a well deserved sequel.

[Spike]

Sweet.

[K.Jack]

Photoshop for the doubters (Credit to Slow_Runner):


No need to fear, it's gotta be DoW2.

They have to go classic races for the first game, so it'll be Space Marines, Traitor Marines, Orcs, Eldar, and of course, the Tyranid horde.

[MrPing1000]

I got my pc gamer uk today and noticed that page and couldn't think of what it was.

Sims 3 details also in there. Not really anything you don't know, lots of screenshots though.

[TemplaerDude]

fuck the emporer, my allegiance is to the hive.

TYRANIDS OR BUST.

[jeffy_johnson]

I want the 4 originals + IG and Tyranids? is that too much to ask?

Back to brawl in the meantime...
