Not too bad. Not too bad at all. I like the cinematics of the battles. The tracer rounds, missles, flame throwers, etc. Fun to watch the battles take place. I've played it very, very little so far. But what I've played makes it much fun. I get the impression that it has lots of varriety as far as the units and upgrades and what not. But, not sure yet. The different races have different strengths/weaknesses too. The few hours I've put into it so far have been very entertaining.

I played this when it first came out like a Loon....
I was ranked top 25 or so on the Ladder before I quit.
Eldar was my favorite race, this is back when 90% of the Space Marines threw a scout rush at you.
If there are some people that would want to get together to play... I would DEFINITLY be down.

This game has frightened me w\ a fanaticism in its fan base matched only by die hard Perl or Mac addicts.

Is there really only 11 missions in the campaign? And you only play as the Space Marines? Feels like I'm missing something.

I just loaded the Winder Assault expansion pack (AKA The Christmas Eddition). It lets you do the campaign as order or disorder. Good/bad guys. Playing as the Imperial Guard and Eldar so far. Nice change from the first.

Let me know if thats worth a buy, It looked cool, but I'd not had the urge to go back to Dawn of War.

A second expansion pack is on the way that will let you play with the Tau and a to be announced faction.

So, if anyone hasn't noticed, Dawn of War 2 is coming out in February.
It looks Great!(Try Multi, Large).
Best of all they are having a free multiplayer demo for a week starting the 21st for people who own soulstorm and 28th for everyone else.
It looks rad, and Multi is hella fun. Everyone should play.

Decided to preorder so I could get in on the Multi Beta early.
It is downloading now...
First reactions/repors are good. I'll post some screen shots/reactions later in the week.

Started playing games tonight.
Got 4 in about 70 minutes or so.
Two shorts, two long. Split the wins/losses on them.
It's a lot of fun, kind of strange playing multi on a game I haven't even played the single player of.

That's how I start most of my games, cause that's how I like to play most of them. SupCom was loaded, and I started skirmishes. Have yet to play a single mission.

I won my first game without knowing where to look for how many resources i was collecting/had stockpiled.
I just was running my guys around shooting, and then clicking back on my HQ to smash build random units.
Still managed to rock the ork commander, and then decimate his few squads.

You still play DoW2 Troy? The single player campaign is massive fun. I can only beat the AI on normal so far. Bumping it to hard, and it beats me pretty quickly. I can beat normal pretty quickly. Hard to find a middle ground to play right now. But the campaign is the best one I've played in a long time.

I haven't played in a while, but I can always fire it up and refresh.
I always liked the Eldar, myself.

I've only played the space marines so far.
The Tyrnids have the toughest model I've seen so far. Might be the Carnifex or something like that. It was VERY hard to kill.

DoW2 with the expansion is $30 at gogamer.com.
The expansion was just released and is $30 on Steam. Just the expansion at gogamer is $23.
