Dawn of War 2 (PC)
September 1st starting at 4pm PT

 

1. How do I get in on the action?

It is important to join the chat room so staff and GameSpotters can communicate with all of you. If you cannot remain in chat, exit and return once you want to play another match. We'll open the chatroom between 3 and 3:30pm PT on the day of game night.

2. I am from another country and timezone other than California time (Pacific Time). What time is that for me?
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc. If you want to be extra tech savvy and you use Firefox, download the foxclocks application to monitor your timezone versus other timezones.

3. What mode will we be playing?
We'll ask Kevin what he plans to play!

4. Why TWO games? Why not some other ones?
Kevin recommended the game but we do want to remain in everyone's budget. We are hoping most people have the game!

5. Can I drop by late to participate in game night?
Of course! Why not?

6. What GameSpot folks will I be playing with?

Kevin so far.

I will also should be hopping in but will have weak skills since I have never played the game before. Prepare for a newwar if you face me! 

7. You mentioned something about "bounties" in the Game Night FAQ. What is up with that?
Every week, a player that meets the bounty requirement will get to take part in a grudge match later in the year against other bounty hunters. That match will take place on a game that pretty much anyone can play, such as a free bowling game, or some other such frivolity. The winner of the Grudge Match will receive a special emblem in his or her profile. Other emblems may also be awarded to players based on performance, wins, or other criteria.

8. What's this week's bounty requirement?
The non-scientific method: the player GameSpot staff feels kicked their butts the most. We normally choose one MVP per game or platform. 

9. I am totally the best, and you know it. What if you give the emblem to some other dude, even if I know I am better?
It's the staff call on who becomes the MVP for the week.

10. So, do I have a good chance of kicking GameSpot butt?
Of course you do! There has got to be a game that we stink at.

12. Do I get an emblem for playing?
The only emblem goes to the bounty winner(s), which are listed on the game night feature page as MVP. It's next to impossible for staff to keep up with who enters the game or server and who doesn't. Besides, isn't gloating over GameSpot Staff a great reward?

13. Where should I report my game night experience?
You can post it here!

As opposed to the staggering turn outs of the other game nights, like CoD:WaW? I'm starting to see why they went away.

Dawn of War 2 is such a great game. I was just playing it yesterday! Can't believe i missed it ='[

I can't wait for that "Last Stand" Sounds like a game mode from many other games but being applied to DoW2 and its gameplay...CAN'T WAIT!

Roll call!

Seems that some people dropped by the chatroom to chat it up about the game heroes voting process! No matter, we did have a couple people show, but it wasn't a big turn out as we had hoped.
