Dawn of War 2

[Wolf-In-Exile]

Have none of you played Company of Heroes? Its definitely NOT going to play like DoW1.
Dawn of War + CoH's (updated!) Essence Engine = F***ING AWESOME WIN. Seriously.

As for the expansions, so what? I've all the expansions for the game and I don't regret it (except maybe for SoulStorm, but that doesn't count since Relic didn't develop it).

They're all worthy additions, and certainly they couldn't realistically put all that extra content in the original game. AND, unlike many other games, the expansions are standalone so they're not forcing you to buy the original, so I don't understand what all this complaining is about.

KDR_11: There isn't much bloom at all actually, that's specular maps, and looks like they were a little too enthusiastic in using it in some places (metal ammo belt, Ork skin). And if you look closer, the Space Marine models are improved from DoW, with more accurate proportions (look at the screens with the destroyed Predator tank). Their proportions look more like the genetically-engineered warriors they're supposed to be.

That just dawned on me...

PC gamer article described it as putting the focus much more on small, squad based confrontations, with wargear being acquired as drops on the battlefield, used in later missions.

Destroyable terrain and occupyable buildings + melta bombs and assualt marines should = epic win imo.
