Atleast they can't take DoW away.


It is a very very sad day for me.

How the HELL could they have messed this up??
DAM IT TO HELL.
One of the games I was looking most forward turning out to be shit it seems.
Such a sad thing for me. Really. I love Warhammer 40 k. I am so pissed right now.

Sounds to me like everyone (developers) suddenly got DOTAitus.

Been playing the beta for a while now and I can't stand it. Simplified version of DoW1 without the promised strategy of CoH.

Good riddance to bad trash. They had their chance, and they just made it worse. Hopefully this is the end of the GFWL mania. Esp when devs see how fucked up DOW2 is.

So what? It's just people voicing their opinions on the beta. If your's differ, why don't you post a thought out opinion about it instead of whining because most opinions are negative?

I was afraid of this already when I saw the first trailer and heard that the basebuilding and game itself would be very different from DoW1. I had big hopes for this game, why couldn't they just made the game more like DoW1 with the best parts from CoH? I mean those two were both very good games and yet they manage to fuck up so badly with DoW2?

Meh very dissappointing Sad

Let the rest of the public try the DoW2 beta when it comes in a day or so then make the final call. Its clear the whole game mechanic has been "dumbed down" and there is no more battlefield or epic scale to the combat but rather micro-skirmishes or arena feel. War40k is about epic battles but TableTop play is also small engagements. I dunno.. fanbois will drool over this stuff except if we cannot then edit/mod it to what we want then we'll just migrate to SC2 which is a highly moddable game "out of the box".

This reminds me of the time when Quake 3 came out. Both the casual and hardcore players incessantly complained about the game but it became a very popular multiplayer fps.

Although i doubt that this will happen to DoW2 it is evident that the expectations for this game were just too high. I am not a die hard WH40k or a DoW fan but i found the game to be quite entertaining. It looks and runs great, the matchmaking even though it has some live-realted problems is a huge improvement over DoW, races and heroes are diverse, gameplay is much more accessable now. I have yet to read a specific gameplay-related complaint that doesnt really mean "omg y i can't pwn n00bz with my l33t gook nerd micro and imba build orderzzz"

The lack of mod support and the small number of maps really do bother me. I hope we won't have to buy maps off live marketplace.

At the time of Q3 release CS was the most popular online FPS, many years later CS still is the most popular online FPS. Dunno out of what ass you pulled your facts.

I was hoping DOW2 to be an improvement over DOW1 and COH in the same line- towards a better tactical engagement closer to the table top experience. After seeing some of the videos i began to lose interest... and put it Back to the click feast basket where it will stay unless proved otherwise.

So opinions are very much appreciated.

When i heard about them taking out base building I was like '' er... this should be intresting''. It totally doesn't work. This shit makes me want to go back and play soulstorm again, or even better coh. So fucking annoying they pissed this one up the wall, tossers. Fuck the stupid shitty titty games for window overlay and its lag infested network code, cunting cunts! Wink

This might sound funny now but I won't be surprised if they really fuck us over like this some time in the future.
