Salvation Atlast	Posted - 2009.01.21 03:06:00 - [3] Edited by: Salvation Atlast on 21/01/2009 03:06:33 If you register with steam, which just involves typing your CD key in, you can get in on the 21st.
Karrade Krise Galatic P0RN Starz	Posted - 2009.01.21 03:55:00 - [4] Dawn of War is copyrighted to a company that made WarBirds... Great WWI and WWII flight sims tbh. I wonder if they can sue... CCP Atlas - The Short Story - "With Quantum Rise, we kind of messed up the performance of the EVE client."
Jhagiti Tyran Mortis Angelus	Posted - 2009.01.21 06:29:00 - [5] Well at least soulstorm is useful for one thing
Sanguis Sanies Amarr	Posted - 2009.01.21 07:17:00 - [6] so if I have soulstorm I don't need Steam? or is Steam the only way to get it?
Ronha Ottrit Minmatar	Posted - 2009.01.21 07:38:00 - [7] you need steam to play the demo right now, otherwise you gotta wait another week.
Zeba Minmatar Pator Tech School	Posted - 2009.01.21 08:06:00 - [8] Got both steam and soulstorm but if dowII doesn't have stategic zoom then I'm skipping buying the retail. Yes supreme commander has spoiled me that much on that feature. Every time I try to play one of the dow games it feels like I'm trying to fight with me face stuck in the dirt and changing the lua to increase the zoom level is a nasty ugly hack. Shame as at least the first two expansions are really fun. inappropriate signature. ~WeatherMan

FireFoxx80 Caldari E X O D U S Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2009.01.21 08:59:00 - [10] Hopefully this will mean they'll now go back to the CoH Beta Patch. What I do the rest of the time
Super Whopper I can Has Cheeseburger	Posted - 2009.01.21 09:08:00 - [11] So, what are you Steam nubs going to do when you lose internet connection? Oh yeah... not play your Steam games.

Oh yeah... not play your Steam games. Urban myth. Steam goes into offline mode and simply caches all your keystrokes and mouse clicks for later transmission instead of streaming them live.
Cing Liberdanis Fear Inc	Posted - 2009.01.21 10:17:00 - [13] Rank 3 Eldar *****es :P My Banshees be kickin ass :D
TimMc Gallente Brutal Deliverance OWN Alliance	Posted - 2009.01.21 13:36:00 - [14] Meh. I played Orc and I prefer playing the original.
Zora Xen	Posted - 2009.01.21 14:30:00 - [15] I won't be buying Soulstorm for beta, however I am looking forward to DoW II. The gameplay video looks impressive. Bring on the Tyranids!
MyOwnSling Gallente Macabre Votum Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.01.21 15:23:00 - [16] Originally by: Amberly Coteaz I just built a new rig that can actually play Supreme Commander, it sure is fun Downloading the dow2 beta aswell I hear you there. I'm in the process of building a rig that will finally be able to do the same \o/ I may have to download this demo when I can get around to it. ------------- Stop whining. Originally by: Puupuu dude... your face... Originally by: MooKids I have an elite rating in HULL TANKING! That is like saying I can block punches with my face.

Rubra J. S. Bach In memoriam	Posted - 2009.01.21 23:15:00 - [20] From general impressions on the beta forums, about 50/50 like the changes. DoW1 was stellar, providing tons of great gameplay. Spiffy graphics don't make a game.

All the user interfaces are customisable and unit balance is as good as it gets, even having 200+ types. Oh, and its free.

TA is THE rts of all time.

Faint Signal	Posted - 2009.01.22 18:30:00 - [24] First impression is that is sucks balls, Almost everything runs at the same speed, and upgrading every damn unit is a pain in the rear. however after playing it for a few hours, it grows on ya, like a rash.. and makes sence in some ways.. Not sure if i'd pay for it, but i'd download the sucker.
achoura	Posted - 2009.01.22 21:09:00 - [25] The "DOW II" name seems to be more pr than substance tbh. Yes, it is a dow game but it is not more of the same, it's a total redesign i.e.e a totally different game, it's using the "II" just to draw attention for the publisher to push it. In any case, this is definatly beta software, it's buggy, glitchy, lack several key components (seriously, who builds voip into their code and doesn't put a ptt key in), the ui despite being nice in principle is either badly placed (and non movable) or too small, depending on your viewpoint. Theres also the tiny problem of the huge fights, the ones you could skim over or go back and forth for 20 with all the animations you could watch again and again, being missing. It handles, plays, much more like the tabletop game with fewer, less expendable units but cant get that right e.g. heavy weapons teams get 1 heavy weapon but the real kick in the teeth is thq. This is the beta but its also the proofed (rumoured to be done by an alcoholic chimpanzee) version that will retail, thq having officially said they will fix any bugs/balance issues after you buy it. It's being launched while it should still be development as anyone who played for more than 20 min will be able to tell you. Expect soulstorm lvl support, it'll take someone from the community to fix the bugs withrelic cant/wont. It's only matter of time before a ui hack appear too, having to squint at a 1680x1050 screen because the health bar of your using it 2 pixels hig is beyond a joke. If this was being judged on its own merits, it's design and quality would not touch the level that dow reached. It's less engrossing, over simplified and over far too quickly, units are made of cannon fodder and drop like flies, there's no unit caps so it's in the same place dow was with vehicle spamming (which have been buffed) and racial distinction/abilities have been gimped. Elder cant cloak, vehicles cant jump, ffo it now burst etc. With the support we got 2/3 years back i would right now be hopeful most things would be tweaked and fixed but after the past 9 months of soulstorm neglection, a second game being released in the same buggy state and them trying to use the dow moniker to sell a completely different game it's hard to be optimistic. Theres also the fact they said repetitively the beta would be a soulstrom exclusive knowing people would buy the game just for that but decided lying was easier and made it delayed instead. *The EVE servers and their patches*

Amberly Coteaz Amarr The Black Rabbits The Gurlstas Associates	Posted - 2009.01.23 03:22:00 - [27] Originally by: achoura Damning stuff And it's all true
EliteSlave Minmatar Macabre Votum Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2009.01.23 04:05:00 - [28] it sucks hardcore... too quick.. no actual building, just basically king of the hill type game. its like an FPS but no real gunning.
Jana Clant New Dawn Corp New Eden Research	Posted - 2009.01.23 04:11:00 - [29] Originally by: Super Whopper So, what are you Steam nubs going to do when you lose internet connection? Oh yeah... not play your Steam games. The fail is strong in this one. New Eden Research, where your research gets done!
Rawr Cristina Caldari Naqam Exalted.	Posted - 2009.01.23 11:08:00 - [30] DoW was quite fun but from the sounds of things they've removed everything I liked about it and kept in everything I didn't. Oh well, I'll just go play Supcomm some more. - Infectious -

This. At least the original DoW didn't completely abandon my Age of Empire roots, I hate lack of building and resource management.
Dsann Chickens with an Attitude Dark Solar Empire	Posted - 2009.01.23 21:21:00 - [32] i must say it was dissapointing (spelling) at first but u get used to it tbh. Tho i dont like the lack of base building. Also has anyone noticed the extreme prices on some units? I mean a tactical marine squad cost the same amount of req as the dread ffs

I mean a tactical marine squad cost the same amount of req as the dread ffs Aye they do, However when stuck in cover a unit of Tac marines can absorb a silly amount of punishment and still lay down some nice fire. If anyone wants a game im Syrin22 on GFW Live (shudders)
