[Shouta]

I don`t think I got in ;(

 

[Sirolf]

I just installed the beta...
Very very nice gfx and nice soundtrack.The interface is very reminescent of Starcraft and the textures are astounding for a RTS!!Sure it is not W3
More gameplay impressions later when i'll be back home..

 

[Slo]

I will not let this thread die until I have impressions.

 

[Mrbob]

Is this game more like Starcraft or Warcraft?!

LMK K THX.

 

[luxsol]

Closer to Bungie's Myth?

 

[Mrbob]

Yah but this game has orcs and space marines so it is like they are mixing warcraft and starcraft together.

 

[Slo]

It's like neither, aside from the fact that there are orks and space marines. There is no traditional resource managment, as it doesn't make sense in the Warhammer universe to have these highly trained killing machines be collecting pine cones 30 feet behind the front line. Instead, you gain resources by controlling territory, much like Battlefield 1942. You must go out and capture land, and the more bases you control the more units you can purchase. A very scary gameplay idea for paranoid turtlers like me.

Also, there's the concept of morale. If your units are making kills they'll get all jacked up and go on rampages. Conversly if you're being pummelled, you will will be broken and your units will turn into limp wristed little sissies.

 

[Mrbob]

Sounds good.

No beta for me though. Guess I'll have to wait for the demo to try it out.

Or just being ya know....Warhammer 40k

 

[Mrbob]

Heh, that is probably true, but I need something to relate too since I know virtually nothing about the Warhammer franchise.

 

[bishoptl]

...some of you (you know who you are) should be seeing stuff in your inboxes right about now.

[Ghost]

Think you made a mistake bish, theres nothing in my inbox

 

[IJoel]

I want in!

I've had really bad luck with betas recently. CURSES!

 

[Dagless M.D.]

This game is one of the worst abominations of all time. Hitler must be proud of the sick fucks who made this game. Forget Tubgirl, looking at screens of this is the most disgusting thing on the internet.

But there is only one way that I can be proven wrong *nudge*nudge*

 

[Slo]

That's an incredibly rude thing to say Newbie.

Oh so we're talking about Kings of War now?

 

[Dagless M.D.]

The only way I can be proven wrong is with a nice shiny bata invite. Without that, my opinion is as valid as the next man

 

[sc0la]

lol at beta jockying

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

IM in and I like it so far


anyone wanna play?

 

[Wellington]

It's QUITE good. QUITE.

I'm picking up two copies!

 

[teepo]

can i pay 7.95 for the one month account and download this beta?

 

[Pachinko]

I'd love to try this one out, the territory capturing concept reminds me of the oldest and still pretty much best RTS out there - Herzog Zwei. It's just too bad I don't have a gamespy founder membership... cough

[cvkpaladin]

Dammit, noone takes me seriously. Think its my junior member status...

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

man it is pretty good

 

[Slo]

I only had a chance to play a little bit of the tutorial, I'm hoping to play a lot more this weekend. Man do I love not mining resources!

 

[teepo]

JEALOUSY!#*&(*#

 

[sprsk]

hmmm no mining has me intrigued.

 

[Zilch]

Sounds pretty interesting. How'd you guys get into beta?

 

[Slo]

How'd you guys get into beta?

-1 Soul
-1000 Dignity

 

[adrockthekid]

Goddamnit, dl'd the beta and now the installer's giving me some crap about the filesize being wrong. Grrr....700 MB download again. Awesome.

And if this is an allocation block issue, I'ma punch somebody.

 

[Slo]

Go to the beta forums, I thought I saw a topic about that.

GD: What's the most vitally important thing to get across for Dawn of War?

JD: This is a brand new experience in RTS games. We're trying to shake the mold a little bit, and add the level of excitement and entertainment that you're used to getting in action and first-person shooter games. If you're a fan of StarCraft and Total Annihilation, then you'll love battling on the front lines in Dawn of War.

Sold! Well, I am still buying it regardless of this quote. I like all of Relics RTS games. Yes, Impossible Creatures is cool too. I'm glad Relic is developing the game so Warhammer n00bs like me can get into it.
