Titans? Were they inspired by Ultimate Apocalypse/The Hunt Begin aka latest hot mod for DoW1?
Nah, otherwise battles would be bigger.
Maybe Relic take same step like ID - THB for DoW3 will be like Br00tal Dump for Doom, who know...

because there was not much competition? There were some TA/SupComm inspired and else but all failed or ended mediocre and uninspired.

Why the fuck Orcs. Every god damn time.

The most boring faction of them all.
Kill yourself faggot.

Roll a new alt, muppet.

You clearly didn't get enough Dakka when you were a child and it retarded your development. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. But...

IG is expansion fodder, like in the 2 predecessors. Which is ok, because the expansions will have the better campaigns :D

Step into a brutal battle between three warring factions

In Dawn of War® III you will have no choice but to face your foes when a catastrophic weapon is found on the mysterious world of Acheron.

With war raging and the planet under siege by the armies of greedy Ork warlord Gorgutz, ambitious Eldar seer Macha, and mighty Space Marine commander Gabriel Angelos, supremacy must ultimately be suspended for survival.

UNLEASH THE GIANTS
Take control of towering war machines and tip the balance of battle in your favor with the biggest characters in Dawn of War history. Turn the tide with the mighty Imperial Knight (Space Marine), the clattering Gorkanaut (Ork), or the haunting Wraithknight (Eldar).

COLOSSAL BATTLES
Dawn of War is famous for its epic action and those immense clashes are back - but now they're off-the-scale. Wage war with massive armies across violent volcanic terrain or onboard battlecruisers travelling fast through space.

CALL UP YOUR ELITE
Take your battle plans to another level by deploying powerful collectible elite squads, each boasting their own special abilities and bonuses that will help you unlock and develop new attacking strategies to conquer your foes.

DESTRUCTIVE ABILITIES

Cause devastation on the battlefield with powerful super-abilities. Rain down total destruction on your enemies with the Space Marine's Orbital Bombardment, the Eldar's blistering Eldritch Storm or the Ork’s Rokks to counter your unsuspecting rivals.

THREE-FACTION CAMPAIGN
Learn what makes each force formidable through alternating missions. You'll soon come to understand the combat advantages of Space Marines, Orks, and Eldar and the rules of a universe with no heroes or villains… only war.

ONE ARMY TO RULE
Build your own universal army from the very first moment you are matched in a melee. Progress through battle after battle with loyal troops by your side across both challenging campaign missions and dominating multiplayer maps.

A NEW DAWN ONLINE
Your army will wreak havoc in online co-operative mode. Join the multiplayer community and forge new alliances - then turn the tables on your new 'friends' as they become foes in explosive, chaotic and competitive maps.

Trailer was great. Screenshots look like straight outta SC2. Needs a grimdark post processing filter.

Super hyped for a new Dawn of War. The initial info leaves me with a great first impression. For example:

- Single player campaign
- Focus on online coop
- Huge battles
- Base building

Looks like over-the-top GRIMDARK! moments are back. And so is retarded trailer behavior: the Codex Astartes does not approve charging a big mech with a puny chain-sword.
Lastly, hopefully the INDEED! narrator voice is back.

Trailer was cool, but the female voice over for space marines stuff bothered me :M

I'm leaning to there being a 4th faction they're not just revealing yet. They pulled the same stunt with dow2.

Gorgutz vs Macha vs Gabriel is very very :shredder: though, assuming they keep the VO and writing quality from previous games.

*gasp* I'd play for it the voice-acting alone, just to hear Angelos say profound-sounding things.

On the other hand, they're probably still using the damned four-squad-no-base approach again, which is heresy of the highest magnitude... Tentatively optimistic, regardless.

Well, the orks are pretty bland in new WH40k.

Yeah, the ork codex really sucks. Mob Rule sucks, new units sucks, everything.
Its as if GW got tired of shitting on chaos, so they started shitting on orks instead.

It's not like RTS genre is flourishing now, so, it's something. Yet Relic is known to be the champions of major fuck-ups. They promise huge collossal battles, but all their games had HORRIBLE optimization, making huge battles a slideshow even on top rigs, CoH2 was horrible in that way. Then they simply can't understand patching. I am not asking for SC2 level balancing but they can't even understand their game and what skills or stats make online matches one-sided for some faction.
DoW2 multiplayer was a horrible ping-pong because they added retreat, which made retreating units nrear-invulnerable. It was like a failed rush in SC2 but you could always retreat and did not face consequences.
I hope for the best but with Relic I prefer to have lowest possible expectations.

Unit retreat in dow2 was by far the smallest of its MP's problems. The units were also anything but near-invulnerable, unless you were dumb enough to pepper them with scout bolters.
