[Game On] Dawn of Holy Crap They Actually Patched :

Old 03-28-2009, 04:06 PM

Patch Notes!!!!!!!!!!!

Spoiler:


(Shamelessly stolen from old OP)
Dawn of War 2 is the newest RTS set in the grimdark future of the 41st millennium by Relic. Described as taking the best parts of the original DoW combined with Company of Heroes, this game places an emphasis on quick action over memorizing build orders and perfecting your pixel clicking. And by that I mean that there is no base building.

The game has two distinct portions, with the single player campaign being a completely different beastie from the multiplayer. The single player campaign is for the SM only (though campaigns for other races seems like an obvious DLC money maker *hint hint*). It's a persistent rpg like squad based tactical game with emphasis on building up and using a handfull of squads for the whole campaign. For more information you can see this link, beware the minor spoilers.

In the multiplayer portion of the game you can choose from Eldar (worthless), Orks (balanced), Space Marines (slightly overpowered), and Tyranids (weakest army in the game except for all of their units which are completely overpowered).

Space Marines

"We ballin', dawg. For the emperor."

Space marines have tactical marines, thunder hammers, and force commanders with banners. They are completely overpowered.
Spoiler:



Orks

http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/3364/6to8zq.gif
"Some stupid cockney accent."

They rely on large numbers to be completely unstoppable in t1, whine about how their decent t2, then come out with the best tank in the game in t3 along with the best non-global call-in melee unit in the game. Ridiculously overpowered unless Sonelan/Cakemikz is playing them because he's terrible at the game and always will be.

Eldar
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/534...fireprismx.jpg
"You would not believe what we have seen with our eyes."

Fragile and low damaging units make up the army. Only global call-in seer council stand to make this army anywhere near decent. They fail. Canis says they are good, but he's a furry and thinks IG are balanced. (IG are not in the game.)

Tyranids
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/7...dwarriors2.jpg
"Look at those 15 warriors carnifexes pop out of that ravener hole walk at you without dying because they have insane regeneration and the zoanthorpes stunned your tanks for only 12 seconds. Also spore mines. Also ripper swarms. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha"

Fuck Tyranids.


(all this too)
Still Multiplayer

Blah blah blah GFWL blah blah Steam blah blah blah 3v3s are for losers who are bad at the game and 1v1s are for people who aren't dumb like Zen Vulgarity.

Here is a partial list of GFWL IDs copied from the last OP. (List of jerks)

Spoiler:


You can get a great deal of information about the various units and abilities here: http://www.dowcodex.com/ This website pulls it's data right from the game, so in theory it should be accurate. Please keep in mind that it is a work in progress however.


And now, we have this stupid thing, courtesy of Canis. He's a furry, that's why the picture has a wolf. Take it up with him.

You are hurhurhurhuhruhruhrurhur

Begin.

Spoiler:


It's not really that bad. Except for Eldar. They're terrible.

No. They are too busy testing the effects of poor balance on a quick-to-judge and foul-tempered internet fanbase.

The results thus far are predictable, but they need to be sure before they can move on.

I think you are horribly mistaken.


Also, my GWFL is Morgant M if someone wants to add me to the op.
I'm pretty fucking terrible, but I desire 3v3 (or 1v1).

I am not. It's DoW2 thread tradition by now.

All the ones that come after "GAME ON DAWN OF WAR" or whatnot. They're mostly named after people from the DoW2 threads, so they shouldn't be hard to spot.

If you mean the server, there's a sticky at the top of G&T.

By the way, turns out that general von guy is kind of a dick.

I asked him if I could upload the replay of us and he said no then started badgering me for a rematch. :|

If I uploaded it the dude would storm in there in five seconds all "I wanted a rematch, and I told him not to upload it blah blah blah."

I'm not really into that kind of drama, and as I was saying to kinder he strikes me the kind of guy who is likely to be scouring GR as we speak to see if it was uploaded without permission.

Then you would do it wrong. What you say is "HEH some stupid noob scrub 1v1ed me and wanted a rematch LOL. L2play the first game, stupid nubs. HEH."

He ruined the theme, though.

Leave it to Goomba.
