This game sounds AWESOME. It’s gonna be cool fighting around preaditor carcasses while your marines pulverize on-coming green skins. Only if they included a space mode, like in Empire At War.

I realy wonder if they will include differences between the SM chapters. I mean things not only like logos or rewards or emblems? but things like different armour or details like Dark Angels hoods on their helments…or Black Templars loose overalls with black crosse on them…And if they do/ than it would be the greatest detailed war game ever!

“Waaaaaaaaagh!”

Sounds like they are going back to basics. This certainly isn’t the first WH40k universe game with focus on squad based tactics (Space Hulk, anyone?). Whether it’s another “CoH in space” remains to be seen.

It certainly seems like Relic are stepping things up a notch. They’ve been famous in the past for being detail freaks, but this amount of precision sounds crazy. Instead of each battle being click>>shoot>>death_animation kind of deal, it really sounds like they are making each battle more intimate. Whether this implies crazy micromanagement, I don’t know. This could be a breathe of fresh air for a change.

All in all, I find this news exciting. This is not what I expected. If any of this info is true, DoW2 certainly won’t just be DoW (or CoH) with more units and an upgraded engine. And that’s fine with me. Nothing worse than stale-bread gaming syndrome.

For those of you dying for mass ‘nids, why not ask Games Workshop to license out the IP to the Total War creators. I’m sure they’d churn out yet another “Check us out, we got a bazillion units on the screen!” pseudo-RTS for you.

Well I’m not sure how you do the Tyranids and not get accused by most idiots of ripping off the Zerg.. but I’m actually really looking forward to DOW2. If they did make CoH in space it’d still be an amazing game with a great setting.

I’d love to see some Gothic level combat, fleet combat like with SW:Empire at War only set in the 40K universe would be great.

I just picked up Soulstorm and I’m anxious to get into the Dark Eldar campaign.

6 Squads?

You know…that doesn’t sound very interesting. I’ll be willing to bet the fabled Tyranids will be in it, as is the hint at the end of Dark Crusade. It sounds exactly like CoH in space from the info released above, plus a few gratuitous 40K material.
