[TheNUTTY117]

i want this so bad wat does it require to be played e.g. game cards and ram

[shadowofthenuter]

ohhh you were so close to useing that big badass guy right at the end =( (sorry i dont know the name because i have only played DoW1 3 times at a friends)

[RubixBoy123]

how do you get dow2 vids on youtube?

[Vebsghost]

i just crapped my pants lol

[bibicle]

w the tyranid!!!!!!!

[MrPaintballfanatic]

his comp doesn't suck vid quality gets messed up on youtube smarty!

[Gortexan]

Tyranids are the best !!

[aaronchngthepro]

how do u get tyranids???? i seriously wanna know!!!! please tell me

[orkwarlord21]

@avatar509 the reason it does not work is that cos u dont have the right requirements i reccomend a nividia g force 6600 gt graphics card that should get it working

[themusicmannnn]

ur comp sucks man

[iownlol102]

whats the name of the DoW where i can get tyranids ? is it DoW II or do i have to get Last stand for it?

[k0102]

so if im correct:

only 1 building. you get resources from capping those towers, and then buy new units? Do you also get some units over time (like.. every minute 1 squad or so?)

what means "your enemy has 100 points left"?

[jayandsilentbob595]

can you use anything other then the space marines in story mode

[JokerzKrew]

no its a failsauce kinda

[Artthas3]

@jayandsilentbob595 no

[132dmon]

hey  they may be ugly but they got the numbers to make up for that!

[higaradoom]

the thing is that tyranids and orks are too ugly

Space Marines and Eldar look cooler than them and if u see the first time farseer and Wse(commander) u say that they are humans but they are alliens

[JokerzKrew]

haha orks look ammazing if painted well there just not pristine and stuck up

[BigGillan]

wow orc commanders actually look the part now...on my computer the only orcs that where bigger were the nobz and i had too zoom in to see the difference.

[emogangsterninja]

Nope, no building in dow 2, just have to upgrade your HQ and build generators around power nodes.

[Victim1337]

it´s greatest ork noob i ever saw

[higaradoom]

stupid quwstion but what is the diference between lictor and lictor alpha?

[LitttleD94]

The Lictor Alpha gets upgrades. I think he has more hit points too. Besides that, nothing as far as I know.

[higaradoom]

lictor alphap is the true leader of the tiranids

[HUNAdamus94]

Overmind: Congratulations Victory! Now bring me an orange juice im thirsty! :D

[diablomongoose]

i bought the game but my computers shit so I cant even play it.. fuck im pissed

[LitttleD94]

That sucks ass, man. My laptop can't run it. But luckily my desktop barely can.

[HUNAdamus94]

0:43 Tyranid headquartes thing: BBUURRPP!!!

[Mastertomas117]

haha nice one

[RTYZ146]

The Ork Guy was crap didnt bother to try and recapture anything !!! and he didnt even use cover for mas fire power !! whats up with that any basic player would know that ...

[bobugil]

too bad there is not trygon from dow1 tyranid mod he sure pwns and he is taller than a carnifex much more taller

[LUMPYSKULL]

Carnifex are 5.5m tall, Hive Tyrants, though big are about 6m.

However, that is due to the fact that Carnifex are hunched while Hive Tyrants are nearly upright.

Carnifexes are the linebreakers, thus they need to be heavier in built.

Carnifex are nearly twice as strong that Hive Tyrants (Hive Tyrants have a Strength of 5, while Carnifex has a Strength of 9) Since both genus are VERY prone to mutation, they can either be CC specialists or ranged specialists, either way both are Badass!

[zachphat]

The harder choices in DoWII is when you have to decide what to upgrade your troops with. You could fight 4 different battles against the same army and have to employ different tactics every time

[polaris30000]

It looks like they made the game more like company of heros. Thats way better than in dawn of war. Being able to create a massive army made the game way too easy. All you had to do was fortify, kick back, and relax, and then throw everything you had at the opponant at once. It was like army pong. With this you now have to think on the fly and adapt. Its much better this way.

[halowars583]

do u buy units the same ways as coh

[deathunlimited454]

u shuda burrowed your troops at 4:40, and surprised the enemy at the control point. those shotas woulda got anhilated quick.

[nightbringer5]

6:03 on the pic thing it looks like they have a MP40 lol

[TdarkninjaT]

i wanted to see what that giant thing would do but then you won.

[azorazan]

it smashes things

[holobalobalo]

Aw come on!

I have like 0 warhammer experience so I know nothing about this and I was like "holy shit" when I saw that big thing tearing the orcs apart at around 5:30.

So just after that the screen returns to the base and that GIGANTIC thing comes out and I'm like "O_o" then it ends.

:(

[HaloFan262]

the big thing at 5:30 is a lictor, the other big thing is a hive tyrant

[rubberduck2897]

Carnifex. The Hive Tyrant is a commander choice, the carnifex is the biggest bug they can get in the game.

[HaloFan262]

yes but hive tyrants ARE bigger as they are the supreme commander. carnifex' on the other hand can specialize in range guns and would be near enough as big as the hive tyrant if they stood upright

[scnix]

No.

The Carnifex is the biggest unit for the Tyranids in DoW2.

[HaloFan262]

my mistake, but in tabletop its different,sorry bout the mixup guys

[rizalcash]

I've always been a WH Fantasy fan myself, but Tyranids make me really want this game...

I'm also a big fan of the "Alien" franchise, so I really dig the Tyranid army.

[wackoman28]

how many races are in DoW 2?

[KronDesigns]

there are 4, eldar, orks, tyranids and space marines.

each have 3 different commanders to choose from that determine a 'playing style' for each race

[wackoman28]

awsome. but it would better if their are chaos and necrons in DoW 2

[KronDesigns]

will prob come in expansions ;)

thats exactly wot was said wen the origianl game came out and we all saw that they brought out a total of 3 expansions, expanding race selection from 4 into 9 :D

so im 100% sure they will do the same thing with dow2 ;) wich will b jst awesome!

tho i wish they'd change that tyranid over voice....it sounds too much like the computer voice aboard a Borg ship out of star trek hahaha

[wackoman28]

yeah i agree with you. they should use the necrons voice then mix it a little.

[KronDesigns]

actualy i was meaning less of a robotics voice lol...maybe something that tehy used for the zerg in star craft...like osmehting that sounds more organic..though this voice isnt too bad i think it'd give more of that alien feel with an organic sounding voice

[wackoman28]

u got a point

[paydafee]

they will be in future expansions, tahts how relic makes money, I fucking hate those cheap bastards

[wackoman28]

dude thats their business strategy. we buy their games they make money we enjoy their games.

[archvile4]

DOWII is a good package, to release all the other races would take time, time im sure people like yourself wouldn't feel like waiting. I know i'd much rather get this now and then pirate some expansions later

[VanSneiwder]

i did something similar with sims 2 but it was asking the core all expansion to install and buy tha last one :) i think im gonna do the same here

[randalfthewise]

the voice seems a little... human

i think they could have made it sound a little more... inhuman?

like the flood from halo-he didn't sound human

[thechief49]

They actually made an update for the beta. Don't know the exact details but they made the tyranids a lot better specifically the carnifex. It can take atleast double the punishment before the update.

[CIplaysDoW]

Trust me, I know lol. Check out the newest video I put up, "Tyranid Rush vs..." This patch is my new best friend. :D

[tferg19]

I'm so mad my beta wont work... I watch the intro movie, load up main menu, see a black screen and hear music and get this: dow2 has stopped working.

[Tinsider]

too bad you didn't get to use that huge unit at the end of the game, I think it would have made the other guy tremble.

[tferg19]

Sadly that unit isnt all that great currently, hopefully it will be better in the retail version.

[v4ginav0mit]

only thing id like to change is how the melee battles play out. They just randomly hot each other without blocking or anything. It'd be cool if they would block, dodge and counter attack based on their stats.

[mrmarsbar1983]

i agree, it'd look loads more realistic and a helluva lot cooler but if you think about how much processing power it would take up, which could ruin the gameplay i guess it may be better to keep this system. perhaps as computers get faster and better, then we may start to see some improvement on the melee fighting system.

[Sideshow1111]

4:17.. owned. :P

[Shnap1337]

The only non core gameplay thing I want from the DoW series is a dynamic battle cam that works kind of like the VATS fight sequence in Fallout 3.

[Medina6476]

Please tell me you can download a demo on the Internet as I see this game in a month will come to my country and I want to see if anyone says it, I will be eternally grateful

[ByronGman]

The beta will be released to the general public on Wednesday I believe so you should be able to find a copy then.

Right now only Soulstorm owners can get the beta.

[Medina6476]

oooo thx, Please if you find one please

[CIplaysDoW]

As of 21 minutes ago the beta has gone public. If you had Steam running when it went up you had to restart it and it'll appear. :)

[LitttleD94]

Actually you can get it today.

[gravebaiting]

beta is on steam now

[Romels1]

Dang,didnt get a chance to see that Carnifex in action. :'(

[XxMalarkixX]

I will have so much fun playin this game!

Iam also really interested in this

new machmaker mode that finds the

right opponents for a game.

[wachinichu]

urgh the reinforcement in DOW1 series should have been kept so your units doesn't need to run back and forth: hopefully this game can be excelled independently into modding community.

+but i still embrace the tactics that would require players to actually utilize the methods used in the real world; its all about placement and unit experience

"walk softly and carry a big gun" *steps on mine* (o_o) BOOM!

[Tamaracouta100th]

how do you get the beta?

[ZantherTsuki]

Own Soulstorm. Although on Wednesday everyone can join it.

[Tamaracouta100th]

this wednesday? like 7th?

[PieMan1018]

No 28th

[jaimsC]

Get steam and wait untill the 28th or w/e

[souldude151]

its wierd on this game how no one ever attacks the base. really all people do is take the points. which i have nothing against. normally if people attack my base my hero just kills em all or ive already got an army. and i dont know why everyone likes marines the only anoying thing they have is the juggernaught. which eldar cannot destroy! they dont have any anti tank units...at least i dont think they do. oh well falcons rule

[blaw001]

ok ty

[Tamaracouta100th]

Is this game worth it? if your a fan of the tabletop game?

[xtwcxnoodles]

belive me ive been playing the beta for 2 days now and i can easily say it is. It resembles the table top version now so much more than the progonal and i belive its a must buy for and Warhammer 40k fan

[UltimateUniverse]

Maybe I'm missng something, but i didn't notice much use of cover or supression in that game... Just looked like a WC3 melee and hero fest.

[CIplaysDoW]

This was one of my first matches ever, I didn't even know which of the Tyranid could use projectiles to take advantage of cover in the first place.

I'm probably going to record another one now that I have a decent idea of what I'm doing.

[xtwcxnoodles]

thats couse both armies are more swarm and melee based and the map doesnt have much cover check out a SM or eldar video with a better map

[Chardor]

SMs are not that popular XD only GW likes em.... realy ONLY GW (well and relic) , they have more options in the army and they are the only one with a campaign.... stupid marines.

[CIplaysDoW]

It's scary how much your wrong, every single match I've had over matchmaking save for one are Space Marines. I've yet to encounter any Ork or Tyranid players (besides myself) and the only Eldar I found was AFK for the entire match.

[karlzhere45]

Lmao marines are the most popular...

[blaw001]

Cool video i got a question. Do you choose what mode you want to play before the game starts? Like that u are going to kill his main building?

[CIplaysDoW]

Matchmaking has only chosen Point Capture every single time. I've only seen annihilation in custom games.

[fire2492]

the com of ur can play to game don know my load the game on steam now :) this game need ss to play ?

[justregis]

zerg are such a rip off of the Tyranids...

[mangodealer]

yeah in every sense, but i think starcraft2 is going to be better than dow2, just because the game is going to be bigger (people buying) and population cap isn't 100, (which is pathetic) and sc2 will have more units... I dunno, I'm still gonna get dow2 but i really liked dow 1 and coh better and i wished they didn't combine those two games' mechanics together.

[Zilartxxx]

This game ain't about MASSED charges, it's about tactical strikes, here, there and overthere...

[mangodealer]

still seems shallower than starcraft broodwar. Hopefully they get rid of automining in sc2 tho.

[Zilartxxx]

Well, they are two diffrent games, this game is a game like Company Of heroes, units search for cover etc, can't compare them.

[jaimsC]

sc2 looks, how do i put this... lame

[mangodealer]

how? You probably just judge games on looks and flashy eyecandy and not on gameplay. I'm not saying dow2 is bad, but it seems very shallow.

[jaimsC]

ye, its actualy about thinking unlike alot of rts's i see around these days.

[trythan]

i got it but i dont have enoge verch mem

[xXLibertyPrimeXx]

Is there ganna be chaos in Dawn of war?

[CIplaysDoW]

Not in the base game atleast.

[Craniel]

there most probably will be but it would be a waste for the developers to bring out a new game with 2 races that are fairly similar.

if you look at all of the factions you will see diversity in the style of play and army choices.

space marines are more popular and are deemed the good guys so they get the starting spot over chaos.

[theVideoGameBard]

No.

[b1azia]

your comp a xps 420 sorry

[b1azia]

aww this doesnt work with non steam soulstorm :(

Anyways, hope to see you next week on the dawn of war beta ill probably get owned but hey...:D

also, is urs a XPS 420?

[CIplaysDoW]

Yes this does work with Non-Steam Soulstorm.

In Steam go to Games then "Activate a Product on Steam" and put in your Soulstorm CD Key.

[b1azia]

alright gonna check

[b1azia]

DUDE I LOVE YOU OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I thought i didnt have to put dashes in so then i put dashes and now it works THANKS A BUNCH !!!!!!!

[SquidThingy]

At 4:25 - 4:38 , I thought you have figured out how to use the Ravener Alpha tunnel, and was going to send your force to kill off some orks.  But no, you had to go around the bushes (instead of under) and fight them that way. xD Anyways, great video: 5/5

[CIplaysDoW]

I've figured out how they work now. At that point I was thinking maybe if I clicked that tunnel they'd pop in the nearest one and go out there, but they ended up going inside it from that end and I never figured out how to get them out. XD

[Craniel]

hey what are the specs of your PC? i'm running a Q6600, 9800GT and 4gig of ram on vista 64bit.

will this run fine on high settings on my machine.

the game looks amazing and i really want to max it out and have some sweet looking battles.

[CIplaysDoW]

I'm on a 8800 GTS, 4GB RAM with a Core 2 Duo at 2.2ghz on Vista 64bit, and it's running as is.

[Craniel]

thanks maybe ill cya when the game is released
