WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!! (WH40K Dawn of War gold)

[PsychoMoggieBagpuss]

Got it off blues.

The WH40k games Dawn of War is gold.

Don't know about anyone else but I'm really looking forward to this. The 40k universe has been crying out for a decent game based in it as theres so much awesome material there.

Plus I know a few (really cynical) beta testers and they can't find a bad word to say about it - which is pretty fcuking rare in this day and age.

Best real time strategy game of the year, nuff said. The fact that it is based on warhammer 40k and is authentic to the warhammer 40k universe makes it awsome.

Those screenies look friggin' awesome. I think Warcraft 3 is going to get some serious competition when this tittle hits the shelves.

This Game looks totally sweet, and that shot of the marine kicking that orc down kicks arse!
Definatly on my "To Get:" List.

Oh, and for all you UK/Euro people

Much cheapness!

Also note that I only managed to find screenshots for two of the playable races
Chaos Marines and Eldar are also in it. :tup:

Well, I was a wee bit irritated that Dark Reapers shoot energy bolts - for a split-second.

PS: Whoa, 29€? That's an insane price!

Tyranids? Not that I care that much, I want to be ultramarines...course I won't be cos u'd need a decent computer and I doubt it's comming to PS2

 

[[Ci]Mazza]

I'm sold, i forsee epic online struggles when we've all pocketed a copy of this

 

[O.S.T]

I guess you can't play the tau
let's hope for expansion packs or a sequel with more races

I think its all dependent on how well it does whether they do expansions for it.

But yeah, the Tyranid hive fleet would rock, as would Imperial Guard, Tau and Necron.
Plus theres all the additional units, Space Marine assassins, Elder Harlequins, the list goes on.
I like the fact that you can customise the colour scheme as well (chapter badges, insignias, etc), so if you don't want to be one of the standard chapters you can create your own.

Do the orks have a magic user yet? I always felt left out once the other armies got their awesome casters.

 

[missPoopShoot]

So you can pretty much paint your own army too? Oh man, thats all there is to it, i'm gettin' it.

I hope it's nice and easy to add content (new troops, vehicles etc) to expand the armys. Anyone know anything about this?

I was reading an interview with relic on gamespy where they touched on modding. Relic are all for it and said that they will continue to release support materials for modders, so it looks like it's pretty easy for ppl to start knocking stuff up for it.

Just what I wanted to hear, thanks! Something that would be nice is if you could buy and download official new content on a single model/squad/vehicle basis like popping into games workshop (those were the days!).

Hmm, those screenshots look a lot better than it looks on my computer. Normally I'd dismiss this as having a crappy computer except I have all the details and such maxed, so.. what gives?

 

[Darth_Chaos]

Key someone has a key... but I need d/l it. I signed up and they were out of keys . I sooooo want this game, it looks like it will own and though I know nothing about warcraft I love the character style .
