DoW 2 will suck hard

Squad leaders can't die. You can reinforce squads mid-mission at certain locations. For free. Hit and run tactics will rule this game.

Bonus crappy feature: there are bosses with console-style life bar at the top of the screen.

How is a life bar at the stop of the screen console style? Tons of games have had that on PC even long ago.

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

OK, make it action game-style life bar at the top of the screen. Point is, WTF is it doing in a strategy game?

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Why the fuck can't they just make it more like TT? Reinforcing squads in-mission is faggotry.

Because you must kill it!...with strategy?

 

[Shannow]

Ah, well. That's that then.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

Ah, well. That's that then.

Strategy game? DoW started making sense around Dark Crusade - soloing the game with Necron Lord was very fun. I kinda like the direction DoW 2 is going. Maybe they could even add some twitch minigame when two commanders (or heroes) meet each other on the field...

...

no map editor, no mod support (with the most retarded excuse they could come up with) screenshots of nids / jungle look like shit, gameplay sounds worse the more they talk about it..... payable DLC, windowslive.......

being a 40k nerd it hurts to say but .... thank you for starcraft 2 and may DoW2 be an epic failure for those stupid fucks.

It's the other way around dipshit. DoW reached the very bottom around Dark Crusade. Then it started digging with Shitstorm.

At least the patch logs have been funny to read. They really have a grudge against the Imperial Guard. :D

Better now dimwit?

Work-in-progress? They still haven't told a thing about standard multiplayer (which should include basebuilding again) except for co-op and the fact it'll use a revamped Games for Windows Live.

 

[DemonKing]

It looks like Company of Space Marines to me, despite what Relic say (apart from the character customisation screen).

I never got into the original as the DoW universe measn nothing to me, but I'll give a demo a whirl, if one comes out.

 

[Annonchinil]

Game looks very speacial ability heavy. Too bad Relic never pushed on the more wargamy aspects of CoH and instead chose a different focus.

Oh and the part half -way where they talked about exciting ways to use abilities was rather boring. Rather dumb how he garrisoned te more defensive squad.

What part of it.

 

[Trash]

I'd love a game like the old close combat's with the COH engine. At least they recently brough out a much improved version of Close Combat 3 and are working on improving CC4 (the ardennes one)

DOW2 looks like it will be a fun little game that at least warrants a playthrough of the campaign. MP will suck just like it did with COH and DOW1. Little kiddies that learn all the best combo's and quee these. No strategy what so ever, just frantic clicking. Bah.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

You think you sound smart by pointing out something everyone knows - that there is no strategy in RTSes - but in fact you just sound like an ignorant twat for expecting it in the first place.

It's like playing Quake fucking 2 and complaining about lack of bullet drop.

 

[Trash]

I don't really care that there is none. I would like however to see something like close combat with an engine like COH. Incidently I really did like COH's campaign because of the presentation and the fact that it was just sheer fun to play through.

Have you incidently tried World in Conflict? it's mp proves that it's possible to have at least some strategy in an rts. It works very much like stone, paper and scissors but strangely enough it works. My guess it's because there are no build quees. Now all we need is an rts with a limited amount of troops and reinforcements. Don't see why something like that will never be made.

Just... shut up. You're like dhalai lama of fucking retards.

Thanks for pointing that out to me. Got anything worthwhile to say or is flinging shit all you're capable of?

 

[Kraszu]

Just becouse game require speed it does not mean that there is no strategy to it, best player have to make good decisions also, they play against other fast players.There is definitely strategy in starcraft.

 

[Emotional Vampire]

This is why Codex is such a pathetic place, it's full of people who bitch and whine about shit they don't even know anything about(and it shows because they lack any trolling/flaming skill whatsoever).

All RTSes have counters genius, and many of them moved beyond rock paper scissors aeons ago. The fact that WiC uses something so blatant is one of the reason it's a worthless fucking game. And no, you don't need to just learn one build and pwn noobz every time, if it's true - learn the build, join a tournament, get fat buck. Or shut your STD hole.

 

[Trash]

See what I did there?

You sad sack of shit, I'm sure you're one of those people that claim starcraft is a finely tuned and balanced game. RTS games mostly suck because the mayority of them rely on being able to click as an idiot. Go get your ADD ass fucked in some shitty darkroom if all you can do here is act like a cunt.
