    You know, people constantly say SS was awful but it reeeeaaaalllly wasn't. It's a lot better than DC is right now, it's just not as good as CoH because it's using the same crappy DoW engine instead of the completely new CoH one.

    Also you guys are nerds.

    its ironic, because you're a nerd, and you're calling other people nerds

    You're a witty man, goomba. Also, plasma cannons for devastators! I will only play SM against you in DoW2, and just rape you with plasma cannons.

    Space marines have plasma guns in DoW. Plasma cannons are a whole larger level, as its an area of effect weapon.

    Plasma cannons are essentially the greatest anti-infantry(anything thats not a tank anyways) weapon in 40k that a soldier can carry.

    That is amazing and you are amazing for wanting to do this.

    I hope you can turn Carnifex's into a gun platform, I want to be able to recrate my TT army in sexy 3D, but its not looking too good right now.

    I mean who seriously uses CC Warrior squads? They cost WAY to much and are not too effective without pumping em full of adrenaline.

    It's so sad that it's so true about the warriors. Even with adrenaline that just means they'll be able to compete with stuff that costs less than them, and they still die to anti-infantry stuff D:

    Maybe they'll have friendly-fire like d-cannons did in DoW. No one would use those.

    They probably will. Most area of effect moves tend to do that in relic games.

    The demo rumors seem to be sourced from a poster named Nightbringer on the Relic forums. He said
    hey guys.

    this isn't really a discussion thread, so mods feel free to lock it. i just wanted to let every one know (probably only applicable to my fellow brits) that inside this months PCGamer (the one about blizzard) the preview of the next issue stated "exclusive review of DoWII"(well not like that but you get the idea) and the cover was again the box cover art.

    the interesting thing however, is that on the advert it says

    "Reviews: Mirrors Edge, LOTR:Conquest, shaun whites snowboarding, Saints Row 2, Space Giraffe

    +
    Features: The history of Total War, Obsessive Tower Defence, Liberty City Live, The city adventure games built

    +

    Demos: Red Alert 3, Mirrors Edge, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2, Need for speed Underground, Strong Bad: Ep 5

    +

    More...: the race to level 80, the new processors reviewed, the tech of 2009, Natural Selection 2, Far Cry 2 level Pack,Cthulhu attacks!"

    now i dont know about you guys, so i might be completely wrong (so dont quote me on that), but it loks a lot like the demo for the game is being released next month (15th with the magazine here in the UK to be exact)!

    My guess: this isn't a real demo, this is one of those 'cd contains 25s of gameplay video' demos

    Gaming magazines often use that trick to gain more sales. My advice is that if it doesn't explicitly say 'playable demo', then to be wary. I'm not saying it won't be a demo rather than a trailer, just to not get your hopes up.

    Have faith. Trust me.

    Ditto here.

    Does anyone who's already registered on those forums want to ask them what the "OMGSplosion" requirements are?
    That is, what monstrous hellbeast of a rig are they using to produce their screenshots/FMV footage?

    I barely met the minimum system requirements of Dawn of War with my old computer, and this was the same for nearly every game I ever wanted to play. I'm excited I don't have to worry about that kind of thing for a little while longer.

    So while I was at Best buy they apparently have a special preorder bonus. A few new colors (all metallic shades), some new wargear (named weapons and a banner) as well as a special exclusive Chapter and 1v1 map. Next time I head over there, I might pick it up.
