I <3 the top comments complaining about Blizzard copying 40k... You dumbasses do realize that Starcraft was supposed to be a Warhammer game, but it got changed in the last couple months...?
There's a diffrence between inspired and stolen/copied, Get it right assholes (By the way i play both dawn of war and starcraft so don't call me a fanboy -.-)
How come everyone is so desperate about the "blizzhard ripoff double-oui-forty-kay!!1" thing? Isnt that the companies problem? Both games are fun as hell so why not just enjoy them? Instead of preventing "enjoyance"(whatever^^) just because you dislike the company that made the game?
Oh noes weak enemies that need to rush in numbers to win. RIP-OFF
Really... People? Cut each-other some slack will you... If you go about on this then 40K ripped their Tyranids from watching ants kill a spider. Or Eoraptors killing a Triciatops (or whatever beast they hunted). Or tolkien's Golbin Orcs (whatever again) in moria.
Now go watch the Real-Life-Rhino and cheer up. watch?v=6PEU_201IfI&feature=related
I have a theory, that the Nids are Alien creatures that come from another Galaxy, they gather all the biomass from the Galaxy, and when they had eaten EVERYTHING from that Galaxy, they go to another Galaxy, they go in a hibernation & feed off the biomass they had gathered (OK, the Gaunts just get left behind & die off). And once they get to another galaxy, they do it all over again.
it is only a pity that a campaign didn't feel about tyranids only about these braggarts space Marines. either tyranids should be the main characters of the entire game
DOW two is actually so much better compared to the first one. The game play graphics are nuts, and the brand-new marines are amazing! In case you want that game for free of charge, you can down load the full video game over on DOW2DownloadXcom (replace X with . ). When my friends and I did, and it worked great!
Why so much blizzard hate? Starcraft : Broodwar is to date the most popular and competitive RTS. It has a massive skill cap and is constantly evolving despite being over ten years old. I understand they took heavy influence from DoW but none the less, its not right to bash a company for being successful.
P.S. I'm unaware of most of the politics behind who joined who etc so this is mostly a statement about starcraft.
Relic is the developer THQ is the publisher right?
Yeah he sucks ass.. Wonder why Blizz hired him though.. that's two ex-DoW developer now working for Blizz DoW1 lead Jay Wilson for D3 and Ebbert uhm for lead janitorial position..
Sad he looks like Tarkus, he should be fed to the Tyranids..
Tyranids Are Gonna Destroy The Galaxy The Guy Said This Is Just A "FINGER" Of The Tyranids Immagin If They Send Them All LOL.. Its A Matter Of When Not How Just My Opinion..
hmm tyranids, i dnt reali kno what 2 say their good but the fing is this how do u command wild beasts, their idea of war is just run in and kill all others have tactics and command tyranids dont so how can u controll wild beasts?
even if blizzard stole the w40k stuff , W40K ROCKS ANYWAY. blizzard orks are so stupid and they have no point. wtf, w40k orks are much cooler and have a point. like the bigger one kick the smaller one and different talking and stuff if you get me.
Fuck blizzard, they should get a geek with big fantasy or a dumbass who sees monsters O.o
I am very happy to hear that tyranids had so much research put towards them. I am a huge tyranid fan in game and Tabeltop and to see that they have had a lot of care put towards them is the icing on the cake of seeing them in DoW 2
maybye thats the hive. it would be no point if they just screamed like whn they take power node *blahraah wgrhajfisgsrgh scream* i bet thats the hive mind
I agree, blizzard copied 40k in starcraft so much its disgusting. Heard GW even sued blizzard because of this. Just look at starcraft marines, they are completely identical with space marines. Copy and paste.
What I heard is that Warcraft and Starscraft were originally going to be Warhammer games, but Blizzard and GW had a falling out for which GW is probably kicking itself for.
@Del249 everyone needs to STFU about the stupid oh they ripped that crap off of a different thing...like with starcraft and dawn of war...really just STFU they are both great games so why cant you guys just stfu and enjoy the games not argue over something as retarted as that
@Del249 They dont look the same at all.Tyranids and zerg yeah rip off.But Space marines and terrans no similarity.Space marines are genetically boosted.Terrans suck at meele.Space marines have power fists,thunder hammers and other meele stuff.
I thnk that what they did for the flood in halo wars is what they should have done for the tryanids; make them an unplayable faction because the tyranids are just so much different from the other races that it would not be realistic(in the 40k sense) to make them into a playable army
but the problem is that in dow2, they have put emphasis into making armies that you can control significantly smaller than your average rts game. A normal tyranid army would consist of millions of troops, and based on what i have seen so far with the tyranids in dow2, their armies are much smaller than what you would see in the tabletop miniature battles
I missed tyranids so much in the original dawn of war, I can't wait to see them in this. I love all my armies in 40k, orks, guard, marines and such ... but the tyranids are truely terrifying.
Gotta love the 'nids. My favourite race in 40k, just because I love abominations of nature like that. Also, they're extra-galactic, which is just awesome. You don't even know where they come from! :D
I've played the game. Its kinda wierd as my graphic defenition uses low on shader quality and unadjustable. Other details except ragdoll and model are in medium and can't adjust to ultra high. My PC uses AMDX4 Quad Core 9550, En 9800GT 512 DDR 3,4GB ram. Why? Please help me!!!
i suppose they appear to suck because they are the "noob" race so therefore noobs pick them because they look cool but are compleatly oblivious on how to play them.
then big space marine squad comes and shoots tyranid to bits. more tyranids come and eat space marines. more space marines come until they get bored and bomb the planet from orbit. end of.
n milkymalk, ur very WRONG, DOW1 was a single game with dark crusade and stuff being expasions, and DOW2 is a whole new game. if ur going to be a dick, be a dick who has his facts straight
Well, obviously, since it's all the same universe, the same engine, and the unit names are the same. Just like you could use Hellfire with Diablo2, or Brood Wars will be usable with Starcraft2.
Duh.
Some questions are so stupid that I just HAVE to be an ass...
The previous website and supported magazine (White Dwarf) were more or less used as a hobby resource other than for actual marketing.
It wasn't too long ago that information about Games Workshop running into financial troubles (more or less due to the older player base moving on and not enough new customers) did they somewhat realise that they were going to need to make some rather drastic changes to how they were going to operate.
Thus why their website and Hobby Magazine are now about sales.
they might bring back all the other races but they want to test run dow2 see if everyone like the gameplay, and if it's popular they might bring other races to the game.
Instead of flaming the nid players and nid players flaming the chaos players, there are plenty of starcraft fanboys to argue with. Lets not fight amongst ourselves, but instead, rejoice in how much DoW2 will pwn.
Yeh listen to this one! the force is strong with... i mean the hive mind is strong...(that will just course debate..)....he has a good idea....lets just stick to that, hey!
alot of fans are up in arms about this upset and the fact that they did not keep chaos in the game has turned alot long time fans that I know away from the game
Then you don't know how to use tyrinads. They are like orks, if you want you can have hordes or small elite squads. I play chaos and tyrinads and fuck im thrilled 2 hav the nids in this 1. chaos will be in the first expansion in like what 9 months? and that means a focused chaos campaign :D
i think that making chaos for this game would be a bit hard, i mean they are basically space marines but with some tweaks here and there.
it would take them time to think "hmm how can we make the chaos not just space marines in scary costumes?"
personally i think its better to leave chaos for an expansion so they can properly be worked on. for the time being you have orkz SMs nids and eldar i guess too. (i rarely use eldar in original DoW)
what about the Imperial Guard? not that hard to design them and amung the 40k fans(whose opinons are voice here) that I know would prefer them over the nids(the guard are easier to play as).
designing them maybe not - but as relic says themselves their nuts are hanged because of time limits. from what i understand they want to keep the other races for expansions to work on them in enough detail.
also, dont forget that a lot of fans wanted nids in the original - they were "screwed over" so to speak for ages, now they get a shot. seems fair.
im not an IG hater, just think its not that much of an issue. if they took out SMs (fave race) i would be upset but if the rest is good why not
fair enough but my opinon is that nid players have something new to use in bashing other players and this has happened to me and it makes me angrier than usually when I have to deal with them.
I know it fucking sucks and in this case they keep raving that they are better then the other races and I had to punch one of 'em to get 'em to shut up.
i think before total full completely finishign the game i think they should lower down the tyranid power or everyone is gonna play it. and its gonna be dark crusade all over again.
Um how exactly are Tyranids overpowered? Have you played the game? Or even seen the ALPHA version of it outside of the clips, of cause a clip that represents a particular faction is over the top, its part of marketing them to sell the game to fans of that race in WH40K. I never doubt Relic on making balanced games, you have to remember the expansions to Dawn of War were rushed because they were experimenting with the engine.
CMdr, frankly the nids will be somehow OVERpowering, since they'll be able to leap over terrian, and basicly breack the boundaires of the game, there basicly able to go where no other faction can go, like swim through the jungle swamps of the planet there on,and you'll have to watch your fucking back since the plant life will become there buildings, since nids drop spores to the planet, i would play nids all the way in skirmishs (since the only camp will be the marines i bet like the 1st DoW)
Uh other races have jump capable units that can go over terrain, know a little about the TT game and the dynamics of each race and how that is going to be applied to DoW2 before spouting anti-nid bs. Again this is a vid of them explaining what the nids will have, they haven't explained the other races yet. Wow I think people only read half of what I write before throwing fireballs at me.
Nah i know the necrons are prety powerfull but they also have a limited of units (obviously) they need to capture strategic points etc before you can get another unit but by the time you get another unit you win the game if you play on hard in campagin you will find it really anoying only haveing 2 units of necrons agaisnt 70 units of space marines so its even out in dark crusade
Well he is the guy who plays the Force Commander in the Space Marines Walkthough :-P
And the Commander's Name was Johnny :-P Who knows maybe game developers like to have their own cool version of their games where they have characters of themselves (if I was one I would, nah I'd have more fun doing something like sticking my dog's head on a space marine and call him Bella, that would be cool).
White chitinous with Blue Scales is I think the coolest Tyranid colour scheme and I've been waiting sooo long to try it out in a video game. One of my friends from High School painted his nids that, and it looks so awesome, too bad I got no pics :-(
Only problems I have with DoW2 is the 3 man squads for Space Marines, unless they decided to go by Necromundra style gameplay which is more then likely in which case its acceptable. Or that its just something which was there from their alpha testing phase.
You know I didn't think about them basing it on Jurassic Park's Dino animations, until they pointed it out then I'm like "oh yeah I get it!". But it's interesting about tyranids, they aren't really bugs but their behavior is similar to say dinos with the minds of bugs.
Tyranids are not "imba" even in the TT game, their just coloured very flamboiently as being absolute ownage, thing is they are in melee combat only. In 4th addition of the game their ranged units are rather weak and their melee isn't deadly till their within 12 inches of your forces, apart from the Hive Tyrant and the Carnifex their easy to dispatch if your not stupid.
I'm under the impression that DoW the first campaign was based a long time ago compared to its expansions and DoW2 since the Force Hammer which was acquired in the first story is now a chapter relic. Unfortunately I think Gabriel is prob dead. But its all assumptions, there is no fluff for it so who knows.

I think its just going to be the main ones:Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, Tyranids. They might put Chaos in just because the Space Marines are.

It really wouldn't be the same without Space Marines :D.

Will all nine races from DOW1 and its respective expansions be in DOW2 or will they handpick the main ones like the orks and the Space Marines?
bigchunk1 3 years ago
they might bring back all the other races but they want to test run dow2 see if everyone like the gameplay, and if it's popular they might bring other races to the game.

yeah, it is a good question.
the necrons were in winter assault in the last level but you couldn't play as them.
In my opinion I think they will be a playable race.

Dear Chaos Fanboys,
Instead of flaming the nid players and nid players flaming the chaos players, there are plenty of starcraft fanboys to argue with. Lets not fight amongst ourselves, but instead, rejoice in how much DoW2 will pwn.

i get the feeling close combat with tyranids will be a nightmare, the only chance to kill them will be ranged probably

"fans excitied"? not all of 40k fans want the tyranids in DOW 2
unit779 3 years ago
alot of fans are up in arms about this upset and the fact that they did not keep chaos in the game has turned alot long time fans that I know away from the game
unit779 3 years ago
Why ruin an opportunity for expansion packs. ^_^
steelgear 3 years ago 2
but DOW 2 is based on squad combat and the nids are a horde I find it impossible to believe that they are capable of small unit action.
unit779 3 years ago
Then you don't know how to use tyrinads. They are like orks, if you want you can have hordes or small elite squads. I play chaos and tyrinads and fuck im thrilled 2 hav the nids in this 1. chaos will be in the first expansion in like what 9 months? and that means a focused chaos campaign :D
ErosSin 3 years ago
i think that making chaos for this game would be a bit hard, i mean they are basically space marines but with some tweaks here and there.
it would take them time to think "hmm how can we make the chaos not just space marines in scary costumes?"
personally i think its better to leave chaos for an expansion so they can properly be worked on. for the time being you have orkz SMs nids and eldar i guess too. (i rarely use eldar in original DoW)
Israelpwn 3 years ago 2
what about the Imperial Guard? not that hard to design them and amung the 40k fans(whose opinons are voice here) that I know would prefer them over the nids(the guard are easier to play as).
unit779 3 years ago
designing them maybe not - but as relic says themselves their nuts are hanged because of time limits. from what i understand they want to keep the other races for expansions to work on them in enough detail.
also, dont forget that a lot of fans wanted nids in the original - they were "screwed over" so to speak for ages, now they get a shot. seems fair.
im not an IG hater, just think its not that much of an issue. if they took out SMs (fave race) i would be upset but if the rest is good why not
Israelpwn 3 years ago 3
fair enough but my opinon is that nid players have something new to use in bashing other players and this has happened to me and it makes me angrier than usually when I have to deal with them.
unit779 3 years ago
ah, bashers. fucking hate em. had the same when it looked like GTA 4 (or any major game really) looked as if it wasn't going to come to PC.
Israelpwn 3 years ago
I know it fucking sucks and in this case they keep raving that they are better then the other races and I had to punch one of 'em to get 'em to shut up.

woah, either you have anger issues or that guy's a pathetic dick. i think its the 2nd

i think before total full completely finishign the game i think they should lower down the tyranid power or everyone is gonna play it. and its gonna be dark crusade all over again.
DEATHSPACE2 3 years ago
Um how exactly are Tyranids overpowered? Have you played the game? Or even seen the ALPHA version of it outside of the clips, of cause a clip that represents a particular faction is over the top, its part of marketing them to sell the game to fans of that race in WH40K. I never doubt Relic on making balanced games, you have to remember the expansions to Dawn of War were rushed because they were experimenting with the engine.
CmdrFoxDavion 3 years ago
CMdr, frankly the nids will be somehow OVERpowering, since they'll be able to leap over terrian, and basicly breack the boundaires of the game, there basicly able to go where no other faction can go, like swim through the jungle swamps of the planet there on,and you'll have to watch your fucking back since the plant life will become there buildings, since nids drop spores to the planet, i would play nids all the way in skirmishs (since the only camp will be the marines i bet like the 1st DoW)
pein5112 3 years ago
Uh other races have jump capable units that can go over terrain, know a little about the TT game and the dynamics of each race and how that is going to be applied to DoW2 before spouting anti-nid bs. Again this is a vid of them explaining what the nids will have, they haven't explained the other races yet. Wow I think people only read half of what I write before throwing fireballs at me.
CmdrFoxDavion 3 years ago
Nah i know the necrons are prety powerfull but they also have a limited of units (obviously) they need to capture strategic points etc before you can get another unit but by the time you get another unit you win the game if you play on hard in campagin you will find it really anoying only haveing 2 units of necrons agaisnt 70 units of space marines so its even out in dark crusade
TIMTIMPRODUCTIONS537 3 years ago
That's just poor micromanagement on your part, not the race being overpowered.
CmdrFoxDavion 3 years ago
He looks like Force Commander .
Vykuk123 3 years ago
Well he is the guy who plays the Force Commander in the Space Marines Walkthough :-P
And the Commander's Name was Johnny :-P Who knows maybe game developers like to have their own cool version of their games where they have characters of themselves (if I was one I would, nah I'd have more fun doing something like sticking my dog's head on a space marine and call him Bella, that would be cool).
CmdrFoxDavion 3 years ago
White chitinous with Blue Scales is I think the coolest Tyranid colour scheme and I've been waiting sooo long to try it out in a video game. One of my friends from High School painted his nids that, and it looks so awesome, too bad I got no pics :-(
CmdrFoxDavion 3 years ago
Only problems I have with DoW2 is the 3 man squads for Space Marines, unless they decided to go by Necromundra style gameplay which is more then likely in which case its acceptable. Or that its just something which was there from their alpha testing phase.
CmdrFoxDavion 3 years ago
You know I didn't think about them basing it on Jurassic Park's Dino animations, until they pointed it out then I'm like "oh yeah I get it!". But it's interesting about tyranids, they aren't really bugs but their behavior is similar to say dinos with the minds of bugs.
CmdrFoxDavion 3 years ago
looks like the nids are the new imba race.
clonescaller 3 years ago
Tyranids are not "imba" even in the TT game, their just coloured very flamboiently as being absolute ownage, thing is they are in melee combat only. In 4th addition of the game their ranged units are rather weak and their melee isn't deadly till their within 12 inches of your forces, apart from the Hive Tyrant and the Carnifex their easy to dispatch if your not stupid.

Gabriel better be in DoW 2
Evilshtt353 3 years ago
I'm under the impression that DoW the first campaign was based a long time ago compared to its expansions and DoW2 since the Force Hammer which was acquired in the first story is now a chapter relic. Unfortunately I think Gabriel is prob dead. But its all assumptions, there is no fluff for it so who knows.
