Relic have tried to refresh the rts genre, by removing the typical element of base building. they have also trimmed down the number of units, the game mainly focuses on micromanagement and planning your advances carefully and using the newly implemented cover system to full effect.
unit counters are very important in this game so its best you learn them all quickly :)
i found the 3v3 mode to be the most enjoyable.
this multiplayer is awesome if you invest alittle time and effort.
I've already pre-ordered this game from mighty-ape, however I still wanted to see what it was I was actually looking forward too. I found the Warhammer II Multiplayer Beta – which can be found in the “Steam”'s demo section. Google “Steam” if you don't have it, or don't know what it is. I've played it a number of times, with the people online, including the AIs to understand more of the game. There isn't much too learn, it's quite basic. The game is pretty much built on the graphics, and front line action.
The Good: Graphics are awesome! Although the Beta limits me, from putting everything on to the highest graphics, it's a new world of anti-aliasing and zoom in action! – Yes, you can see the Marines chain-sawing the enemy – it's pretty intense. Simple and easy – the game is pretty much a click and point. Hardly any building involved, just a few turrets. After that, it's all fighting, and capturing strategic points.
The Bad: Not many units! One thing I found very disappointing, was the number of units you can use, or get. Either the Beta doesn't show much, or there just isn't many. The Space Marines only have 4 in Tech 1, 3 in Tech 2, and 1 in Tech 3. 2 of those consist of vehicles. – Tragic, I know! – Perhaps they plan to put many expansions on, for this game to strive? I Hope so! Well, in order for this game to be a success and have a “WOW” factor, it needs a lot more options, and units.
My point of this, TRY the demo first before you buy it, like any game. If you don't have a good graphics card, already you've lost 3-quarters of the intensity and fun!
Good luck!
Dawn of War 2 is gunna be amazing. The graphics are sick! The gameplay will be your good old favourite Dawn of War brutalness thrown in with an abundance of new features and visceral action! It has an emphasize on smaller groups of troops and hopefully that will improve the story drastically and make you become attached to your troops! =P Beta demo coming out soon! Everyone should get it.
