[RUMOUR ON] Dawn of War 2

So I won't take Credit. JJ found this image. Obviously a Space marine. Obviously having the words DAWN and a Space marine in a PC gamer mag make me think of one thing:
Dawn of War 2.
So, being a huge fan of the first one, which was developed by relic, I must say Dawn of War 2 would make me very giddy. Taking many of the elements found in CoH (also developed by relic) I'm sure they could make a fantastic game. Warhammer 40k using great cover elements? A resource system that causes you to fight a whole lot? Yes please.

It's seriously probably something stupid if it's 40k related at all. Like Firewarrior 2.
Well it's not like the game's coming out tomorrow or anything.
But... but... it says it's a new DAWN.
PLEASE BE DOW2!!!
I can imagine it with a slightly more advanced Essence Engine. Holy Shit I want that!
Yeah, but I commonly see two reactions:
a) play the old game(s) to get ready for the new one
b) just wait for the new one because it's going to be better anyways (not necessarily true)
For example, say when Wrath of The Liche King comes out, Blizzard announces World of Warcraft 2. There are some people that might think the expansion is a waste of money if a newer, superior version is coming out in the future.
That, and the PC did get Fire Warrior. It convinced me that there was no god.
It's not merely telling, it's screaming in ecstasy at the top of it's lungs while tearing out the heart of a mutant space kitten and waving the little mutant space kitten parts over a crowd of cheering fans. This is Warhammer.
Which means it could be the 40k MMO.
Da Boyz approve ov dis meta-four.
Also: bugs, Captain Rico.

I like the Ork one. He 'edbutts the camera.
Dow2 better take some fucking gameplay cues from CoH
Doctrine tree-styled tech system? Hell yes.
Cover system, if you can make it work with melee units? Sure.
armor units with seperate HP values for their constituent parts? Yes please.
I read somewhere they're making at least two unannounced games right now, so I'm thinking another CoH expansion and DoW2. They also bought back the rights to Homeworld though, so who knows.
If it is DoW2, you can be sure there will be Tyranids.
Extra super spec ops limited edition Panzer division. Complete with final-tier experimental mech-panther.
How can they have Russians, Americans, and British all on the same map unless they make it be set in the tail end of WWII? I think they've been pretty careful in making all the maps (even multiplayer ones) be set somewhere in France or Germany, or at least look like it. But with Russians, they'll have to have Eastern Europe maps where the Americans and British weren't present.
Oh wait, they can actually include Japanese, and then the Wehrmacht and PE wouldn't get to fight with them on the Pacific based maps. Hmm... maybe I'm thinking too hard on this and they're just gonna throw them out there without regard to accuracy.
Well, i figure the campaign will be accurate but for multiplayer who gives a fuck and they can mix and match.
Fixed.
Also Goomba you negative nancy just let the hype flow through your veins.
My soul tells me I'm going to have to wait a long time for this, though.
Battlefleet Gothic, a la Homeworld.

Choose:
a) Puny human IG.
b) Space Marine.
Seriously, who isn't going to pick a Marine? Unless they make them a special unlocked option, like Jedi in SWG or those weird fucking aliens in CoH.
I'd hope for DoW2 though with more TT units. Chaos Terminators, woo.
i mean it kind of makes sense for an mmo, its either that or mmofps ala planetside
And that is just plain crazy.
