Well i'll make it a short one. I was expecting from DoW 2 to be an engaging RTS, with lots of things to offer, lots of tactical choices that came from the extremly varried unit types. My first "letdown" was when i saw 4 races. Ok i wasnt expecting 9 but still.... but that was okay. when i got into the game [ getting over the 6[six] maps or so,,,which i did not belive to be Relics work. i mean ?! ] the gameplay initially pumped me up. Tyranids,okay cool, assault space marines fly coolish, imba dreadnough ,,,, but then i realized. IS THIS DOW? No. Because it has become from a extremly well balanced multiside RTS to a simple, rush-like one. And i hate that. U can have a maximum of lets say, 7 maybe 8 squads,maximum 6 units or so per squad. And if u think that 4 races, 1 building, max 6 squads per team, NO super units [execept the Avatar..^^ ], no listening posts [this way the game encourages rush] and virtually NO feeling...is WH.... then think again my friend. Good luck pwning with Necrons in DoW 1. C ya there.
