I got it on weds (21st)

seems way too much like CoH doesn't seem to work and seems really really dumbed down (no building structures/turrets etc)

Too much like Company of Heroes? How can that possibly be a bad thing? CoH is one of the best games ever.

I was of the understanding that the SP campaign had zero base building, but that MP was typical skirmish with bases and such. Hopefully that's right because if they've removed bases entirely then, added to the Tales of Valor stupidity, Relic have entirely lost the plot.

Not played it yet, I did pay £4 to get Soulstorm to get it though, and I have played Soulstorm, and my god it is a poor game.

Let's hope DoW2 is not as bad, and where is my damn Guard??

6 hours left till beta according to Steam. I'll definitely be trying this out, Dawn of War was one of the only strategy games I've ever really got into and actually been okay at!

I loved DoW

DoW: DC was amazing. SoulStorm didn't seem so good but DoW2 doesn't even really seem like a DoW game.

I really dislike it. I've tried to persevere but it's really really wierd and doesn't seem anywhere near as fun.

I think if you like CoH then you might like this but otherwise don't even bother downloading it it seems so dumbed down in terms of different squads, building & general gameplay.

I'm just re-installing the original DoW (+WA+DC+SS) as this reminds me how good the original was.
