watch new fucking trailer...

[Jordaxia]

seen it. Yes, even the updated bit. been out for a while now, though the tyranids were blurrily confirmed in the unupdated trailer. Still, an AWESOME cinematic. Especially the dreadnaught. I love those guys.

Nids are official look at the pics..

Did you mean the gameplay trailer? Because I was amused to see Orks that look an awful lot like my Blue Meanies clan.

I wonder how long it will take before tools unaware that the Tyrannids and Bugs came first than the Zergs start through dumb comments like "zomg Starcraft 2 rip-off!"

But anyway, great news to see it. Only I've never played the original Dawn of War, so I have no idea on how its gameplay differs from the usual RTS grade. I only hope that the supposed WH40k MMORPG won't be a PG13 rated watershed Fail, but knowing GW, it likely won't.

And the xenomorphs from the Alien movies also predate starcraft. Big deal. The only people in this who I've seen complaining about similarities between games have been retarded 40k fanboys who won't shut up about them thinking Starcraft is a 40k ripoff. Saw numerous posts on several forums about that when SC2 was announced. One is somewhere deep within the pit known as the nationstates forums, another few were on the battle.net SC2 general discussion forum.

As for gameplay, DoW 2 is being set up to have slightly different gameplay from the original. From what I've seen, Relic is making it closer in nature to Company of Heroes (or whatever their WW2 game was called) gameplay, with actual use of cover, lots of environment damage (From what I've heard), and no base building.

Old news is old.

DoW2 will be completely different from the original, and for the better remains to be seen in regards to competitive balance. The campaign looks fantastic, but that hardly matters in the grand scheme of things.

And now tanks will no longer be vulnerable to cultists!

[Zerstorendar]

Haha, a DoW unit. Vulnerable to cultists. Good one.

I am speaking of the realism issue, there is no way in FUCK that a cultist laspistol would ever... EVER do damage to a Predator or Land Raider.
