what??? Dawn of war? Dawn of war winter assault? Dawn of war Dark Crusade? Dawn of war SoulStorm?
NO!~ its DAWN OF WAR 2 for warhaming sake. THQ have revamped what is called RTS action as there will be no more building of buildings to product units but straight into the action. Killing capping points, Upgrading points for resource. Whats more is that it is commander/tatics based so you choose your tatics before you play the match. Each Tatic have their own specific ideas like Assault/Support/Stealth etc.
Try out the Demo on Steam to find out for yourself if it is worth your money because you basically will LOVE this type of gameplay or hate it to the core.
Techical side This game will use a revised/upgraded version of the Essence Engine which powered the Company of Heroes series and it is named Essence Engine 2 =.=.
So be prepared for lots of physics going around like flying shards, bits of armour, smoke, blood and flying bodies.
It will be a very graphic intensive game so be sure you have a powerful graphics card to handle it or be forced to look at polygons.
Personal opinion
I own all the previous dawn of war games and COH series but i have not tried the full version of this game, tried the multiplayer beta and it is kinda easy comparing to the previous dawn of war series and the company of heroes series. Its daring for THQ to change how the series work. So far in forums i have not seen a massive complain about this.
Overall
For those who are in need of a good action RTS with heroes and orks holding oversized rifles, sick of building the same buildings over and over again, want to get into the action straight away at the start of the game, this game is for you.
However for those who love Depth in their RTS games, this game may not be suitable because it is comparative the easiest RTS that i have played.
