  • totally fuckry

  • Loved that final laughter.

  • dawn of war 1 is mutch better then dow 2 :D

  • I remember when i first saw this, I was so stoked!

  • @KailaRineharta google?

  • thats the fuckin badest game ive ever saw

    soulstorm was great

    this is shit

    reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy BIG shit

  • @merlinthehiphopboy LolWhatT?

    

  • good game good game

  • is it just me or are the graphics amazingly reminiscent of graphics designed by blizzard... something sneaky may be afoot methinks

  • @SabreOfPain Thats because they all use ideas off other games. Just like every NEW mmorpg resembles WoW (because wow is most popular) same with These style games Starcraft is influenced by dawn of war II

  • @SabreOfPain you may know that games workshop made warhammer 40k before there even was computer games, and that blizard wanted to make a game out of warhammer 40k but they wanted something for exchange that GW didn't like.

  • The commander in the video is Tarkus??

  • Game is 14.99 for today only on Steam.

  • @strikerk fuck steam. its like you dont actually own your game steam does. and i hate having to be online to play a game that I paid for. there is no privacy when you play multiplayer because EVERYBODY on your friends list knows what you're playing and you cant hide it. i wish computer gaming was how it used to be...

  • @serineprotease Fuck Steam indeed I remember when I installed my cd key on there. Then I tried to make a new account for steam because I didn't log on in forever. I lost the account and steam ate my cd key so I never played or got on steam again.. So it's fucked up your account expires, then also as soon as you activate that cd key you can't activate again. Steam Sucks!

  • @Remeday haters gonna hate

  • @serineprotease haters gonna hate

  • @kanowinz shut up you idiot. stop emulating all that fake hip hop.

  • @serineprotease "emulating hip hop" hahaha you are fucking stupid. keep hating moron.

  • @kanowinz umad?

    yaumad.

    Also, just to feed the "troll" more, Fail troll detected. kthxbai.

  • @Summitiswatching Yea so I guess by calling someone mindlessly bashing steam in their little dome of hate a "hater" not only makes me a troll....but a very mad troll on top of that. Haha ok...I guess since you can use fucking retarded and overused internet phrases like "lolumadbro?" and "FAIL" that means you won an argument. I honestly can't believe you composed and entire sentence out of 4chan shit...my god I just lost braincells even thinking about that. You. Are. Fucking. Stupid. Period.

  • @kanowinz I only said it because it's true.

  • @kanowinz Whoops, I replied to the wrong person, but yeah.

  • @kanowinz Steam sucks. Period.

  • @Brk40 lolno

  • @kanowinz and u got angry, so erm you lost sorry man

  • @kanowinz yes thats what you did. morons like you cant see how moronic they really are.

  • @serineprotease you still hate on steam with no valid reason. everything you said was fucking bullshit, yes you can hide what games you playing and when you go online, yes you can play your games offline, and no steam does not own your games. Valve has already said that in the event they ever could not maintain steam for whatever reason all the games on you account would be unlocked and playable without needing to log in.

  • @serineprotease But no, fucking morons like you who maybe used steam once or twice back in 2004 when it was a buggy mess continue to hate on it just because its the "cool" thing to do I guess. Steam gives me a store to buy games and download whenever I want, it gives me a social communication and gaming platform, it keeps all my games updated automatically and not to mention daily sales to buy games dirt cheap. Your right, PC gaming is not like it used to be...its better.

  • @serineprotease So how about you just shut the hell up and keep you worthless opinions that nobody wanted to hear in the first place to your self? To think this started with someone kindly mentioning a deal on steam, then you going on ranting about how "steam suckzz! I'm so kewl and non conformist!" Whether its reference to hip-hop or not...I could give two fucks less. I say again "HATERS GONNA HATE!".

  • @serineprotease u can block your friends to not let them se what you're doing

  • @taumich97 yeah im really going to go through my entire friends list and block them all just so i can play one game in privacy... stupid.

  • i wish i had credit card, i'd buy dow 2 immediately from steam :) i got chaos rising from the store and it costed 40euros!! in steam dow 2 cost like 10euros or so..

  • is dark eldar in this one

  • @TheHeathBar10 no my guess is that they r remaking the dawn of war series the only races in this one r tyranids,orks,eldar,and of course space marines.

  • i dont see why they couldnt make the game look like that i mean this preview of units gives more realness of the game both table and console than what is now dow 2

  • the graphics are just like on the 1st dawn of war entry vid. almost

  • Hi im thinking of getting this or another warhammer game but id like o know erm...can you recruit an army or just the squads like in this vid....like in the end you got loads of guys tanks n artiliery n stuff right? Getting to customize your army looks cool, but if its just like 20 guys its not for me bigger and more guys making the chaos the more fun. This seems samey all the way through....and that muliplayer thing he said about only the host gets exp seems like itd just annoy people. lol

  • @grimjim666 Well uh the game is alright on a tactical view, but eh just to let you know if you dont mind a slight graphics decrease the original DoW 1-expansions are pretty immerse in detail, buildings and defense are in it, there is a little more to do then guide a few squads over and over and you can download basically everything shown in this video as well as up to 8 more races. So even though DII has better graphics and etc, eh its not quite the best choice they fumbled the game on this one.

  • @Themothia2 soo DoW 1 has the massive warhammer 40k battles and tatical immersement....if its just a max of 20 to 30 guys its not enough for me in a stratagy war game i want WAR! man, Chaos invaision, Ork hoards,tides of Eldar and pluages of tyrinids to glorify the imperial armies of the emperor. I can play little dodgy fights at home using models with a firend...mebe this is something for warhammer to look into, How epic they can make a war. ..or id be happy with a desent Gotrek n Felix RPG!

  • @grimjim666 Well DoW 1 with the expansions up to soulstorm is your game. Just make sure your computer can run it. You can have it set to have infinite supply... I'll go into detail brb in a match lol.

  • argghhh sooo wanna get this but gt a shitty computer so it cant handle it

  • with graphics like this who needs to drop hundreds of $ on miniatures for real WH40k.

  • @6sixpounder6 dude this game throws tactics and luck out board game so much better

  • i heard that there was gonna be a dawn of war game but this time its a FPS :O

  • I wish dawn of war 1 had graphics like this

  • @TomFuIp thats why its dow2,

  • this game actually sux... there are many others out there better... including DoW 1

  • What map is that at 00:25

  • Finally! Wraithlords move normally!

  • SCII:WoL graphics pale in comparison

  • @teetertoter3 that might be because SCII came out about 2 years later. Besides, starcraft is a ripoff of warhammer. Why play a ripoff?

  • @cheeseintheair Because a) Two different styles of play, I much prefer SC games b)I I only play Warhammer tabletop

    Blizzard just has cartoony ass graphics. Just look at Warcraft

  • @teetertoter3 yeah i guess SCII still has basebuilding.... and yea it's different lol.

    agreed, they are cartoony

  • @cheeseintheair Random thing: I had my best game in SCII evar today ^_^

  • Gameplay.. when I think of gameplay, I typically think of watching a video of someone playing the game.

  • WE ARE THE BLADE OF THE EMPEROR

  • wats this game for pc?

  • Who cares who ripped off who? Everyone gets their ideas some where, just like Ork/Orc comes from Token, Elves were from folk lore, Aliens always were there in our myths and stories.

    We all work with the same stuff, it originality isn't the issue anymore. It's just who makes it better.

    I don't play warhammer, but I gotta say I like their graphics a hell lot more than Starcraft 2.

  • @Pallyrulez Dude, Starcraft fucking ripped off GW! Have you seen it? They have GUNS!

  • @teetertoter3 You mean the orcs?

  • @Pallyrulez I don't know which comment you are replying to..

  • @teetertoter3 the GUNS one.

  • @Pallyrulez No, I agree with what'shisface, originality doesn't exist in this world, so I was making a joke about GW copying guns from Blizzard.

  • @teetertoter3 lol Orks with Guns FTW!

  • lol this remines me of starcraft :P

  • @dog74586 to bad blizzard ripped off games-workshop sooo hard.

  • @jakep42zer0 Too bad games-workshop ripped off Starship troopers sooo hard.

    And I mean the 1959 book not the movie which is nothing like it.

  • @Hydra000001..kinda...GW took the idea of the troopers and arachnids and gave them form,then blizzard later ripped off almost that exact form and put it in their games.i would definitely say blizzard is more at fault for ripping something off here,and thats only 2 of the 12 races you can play in 40k not to metion the 40k background is noting like starship troopers at all besides that they call earth terra.The tyranids, which are similar to arachnids weren't even introduced to the game until 1993

  • @jakep42zer0 Uh what is GW? Is it Gears of War, or what?

  • @NexusARC GW stands for games-workshop...its the comany that created and produced the tabletop miniatures game and universe that dawn of war takes place in

  • @NexusARC think its guild wars or something

  • @dog74586 Starcraft would be good if they made it less cartoony, more gorey, and gave it hero units, warcraft 3 had that but blizzard gave up on that rts so DoW series is all thats left ;)

  • what does actually happen if you do put the Q between you and tube? meaning from the post below (which is marked as spam)

  • this game beats starcraft 2 by miles....

  • yeh not just that its a better game, but blizzard made starcraft when games-workshop refused them to make a warhammer 40k game, so BEAT THAT SUCKERS FROM BLIZZARD! NOOBS!)

  • is the pop cap still 20? and how many men to get get per squad for lets say the blood ravens?

  • i really like hardcore RTS like Company of Heroes, Age of Empires and C&C but is this worth the price? or to get dow 1?

  • damn i would like to make that squad of guys in the like opening screen where they are just standing there but i already got chaos but HEY the game is comin out in a few weeks

  • get all of them.. its an amazing game though i didnt like soulstorm

  • regardless... get dow 1, it's worth it, get both?

  • depends on what army you prefer, i like tau and they havent added tau to the dow 2 yet, so i play dow 1, but either one im more than sure you'll enjoy

  • @liamere700 dow 1. just get soulstorm and download the tyrannid mod. and there ya go, a better game, with more races, and a lot cheaper.

  • Dow 1 is pretty good with the Firestorm over Kronus mod :) but I guess the graphics in this game is way lot better.

  • where can i get this music?

  • i prefer DOW1 then 2

  • me2

  • I got this..... DOW 1 is so much better.

  • @pcgamerslave  why is dow 1 so much better?

  • @Lizox2 DOW1 is a full RTS, DOW2 is a squad command game which is just a very easy point click, watch them fight, point click, watch them fight type of game, a bit boring really.

  • @pcgamerslave in Lore terms, DOW1 sucks so much...

    Dawn of War 2 is actually alot closer to the Actuall Warhammer 40k than DOW1.

    and just for main, i think DOW2 is better.

  • @greysion I agree.

    While the other DoW and it's expansions have more familiar and loved RTS mechanics, the games are so fucking unbalanced. :(

  • @pcgamerslave Lets play the same game for many more years, so innovative! *yawn*

  • @pcgamerslave i still play DOW1 on steam....although DOW2 has the graphics ... its gameplay is just ...bad... why the hell didnt they leave the old gameplay and just continue the story and well imp graphics... would've been much better

  • is this game out? cuz if it is i am gonna download it

  • yes and i want to download it too

  • @gmoderki

    Or pay for the work the artists put in, so they can feed their families and make a Dawn of War 3.

    People like you will be the end video gaming, and then bitch about it. If you don't buy it, they don't make it. Simple.

  • @astronautJ please know that file sharing is not what's ruining videogames...it's the publishers that get 90% of the games profit, or anti-piracy orginizations suing people and pocketing all the money, rather than giving it to those they claim they are defending. I don't condone file-sharing, but I do have enough knowledge about it to know that it's the corporations that corrupt, not the populous. Please don't take this as an attack on you. Just an F.Y.I. as it were.

  • You are right about the publishers -- they take a lot of the artists profit, just as they do in the music industry. But that is the price they pay for the publishers connections and money, I guess. Support indie, people.

    I just hate hearing or seeing comments like: 'This game looks great! I can't wait to download it!'

    If you choose to steal these games, at least buy indie games. Steam has lots of them, usually under $5. They are the ones making tomorrows block-busters -- the games you steal.

  • That wasn't aimed at you, nwsunder.

  • @AstronautJ

    Steam lately has been having ALOT of good deals. I just bought Psychonaughts for $2.

    You cant beat that!

  • I know. It's heaven, right? Steam is a fantastic company; as is Valve.

    I picked up Far Cry 1 & 2 and Titan Quest, both for like $8. And they had that Torchlight sale a little while ago.

    I'm looking to get into an MMO that isn't WoW (I've given up my wowcrack) so I'm hoping they have a sale on Aion or the Guild Wars trilogy soon. /fingers crossed

  • Guild Wars is better Trust, i spent so many hours into that game.

  • ey guyz is this better then gears of war for pc cause i was gona get a gsame either this or gears of war some1 tell me what 1 is better

  • they're completely different games..

  • so im about to upgrade my computers RAM to 1GB, i could get through Soulstorm with major loading times and occasional shitty ass lag... sooo will 1GB let me play this like soulstorm pretty much?

  • your ram does not matter as much as the graphics card but its still important. what card do u have?

  • i haaave a... ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Series o.O not sure if thats good or bad, probably bad considering this computer is a good sum of years old.

  • hell no

  • god i hate computers

  • I feel you man. I hate them too. But they have the best games. We need to just win the lottery.

  • To play DoW 2 online do you have to pay for the windows live account?

  • @TheAtheistAussie Windows Live accounts are free. Most of the new multiplayer games are WL multiplayer. E.g, GTA 4, Sacred, Resident Evil 5, Red Faction Guerrilla.

  • yes

  • sadly i foubd tge 1 and expansion up to dark crusade much better

  • Dark crusade is my fav

  • anywone wanna fight me on dawn of war 2? then add my windows live account!!! WorldA M E D

  • mine never got stuck on 99% but yes the updates took along time. I think its a great game but if you don't like steam then no you will not want to get this game.

  • lol go buy it in Retail.......in other words, STEAM sucks!

  • Steam sucks?

  • @luftwaffe789456123 steam owns man they have so many deals right now this game is only $20 right now half price

  • definitely your country sucks! because they sell games too expensive, here in our country its P100 or in Dollar its just $2!

  • that'd be a pirate version then

  • @amcadam26 no its not pirated version.

  • @KyleNinja69 £14 on amazon.

  • @luftwaffe789456123 yeah because having a million boxes and CDs laying around is always great. Steam > retail.

  • @luftwaffe789456123 you couldnt be more right

  • @raiki15

    or your computer suck i mean if it wouldve crashed at every once pc then they wouldnt sell it you think?

  • well it could be the computer because i got 8 gb of ram so i think it will take only a little bit

  • @raiki15 yes same man i got this yesterday hoping i can kick some tyranids ass..instead im sitting on my ass waiting for the stupid download to finish. Takes a helll of a time!

  • i think this game sucks to be fair i liked the older ones better base building and all i think they have ruined dawn of war with this....

  • @Richy0407 agreeeeeeeed dow 2 sucks fag, whereas dow 1 especially soulstorm was ownage

  • is this online?

  • looks very similar to DOW 1 gameplay

  • not really coz theres no base building anymore :( u just choose squads then start the mission, still gonna get it tho lol

  • wow.............amazing graphics the ones ive seen the graphics pretty much sucked but this one is great! damn

  • at 00:19 the orks say a rude word lol

  • @dinoherobios65 WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!

  • git?

  • "Comeon you geeks"?

  • I miss these city fights. :)

  • i have watched some gameplays and i was wondering do you have like buildings that deploys soldier or are you a squad the whole time??????

  • each army gets 1 building to my knowledge. This game is a whole lot different to the first version of the game that allowed you to mass large armies and do some serious ass kicking.

    The main reason why I don't like the game is it makes no sense for an Apothecary to stand up to a Hive Tyrant one on one and do some serious damage (or even win)

  • yeah they kill a lot of fluff, but at least they didnt butcher so much like they did in the first dow's.

  • multi player- all units emerge from one building

    single player- several squads that you use the whole time

  • can you buy the game on windows xp its maybe stubid but ;S :D

  • it is only for pc and windows. this is not a console game

  • Asome game makes me want to buy it and the graphics are just looking bad ass

    but may i ask can you still change the paint or change banners like in Soulstorm? or did they just made it so thats all you get?

  • u an change paint if you're playing online. it involves making an online accaount and choosing an army, then painting it. you can go back and repaint in "my online profile." but you can always swich between you HQ captains (the three guys you choose) before after and between battles.

  • I heard u cant change flags or colors, u can just play as the colors they give you.

    The most annoying thing is that u can only play as bloodravens if ur SM

  • wrong! there is an army painter

  • sorry, i heard from a friend there isnt any -_-

    ah well, at least now he knows, bye

  • no you can create ure own paintjobs.

  • im gettin this game monday :)

  • Whats that song?

  • it's what plays when you're using the orks in multiplayer. If you troll a bit on google you can find a link to the unofficial soundtrack for the game. I have it on my ipod , really psyches me when the drums kick in. Let me know if you need some help with that

  • wow

  • what console is this game for?

  • The almighty PC.

  • @fatmanontherun the almighty eldar

  • Computer

  • only for pc champo

  • PS20

  • I dun knw my com can run this or not

  • How many factions can you use in Dawn of War 2?I must wait for another Soulstorm for use the Tau or the Dark Eldar?

  • 4.. Space Marines(also the only ones with a campaign) - Orks, Eldar and the Tyranids

  • This game is freakin awesome! I am a bit dissapointed with the Campaign though... it is good but you can only be Space Marines...

    And by the way can anybody give me some advice for playing as the Eldar against Tyranids since my shruiken cannons are ussles againts them when they have leap and charge and pounce

  • The upcoming expansion (after Last Stand) is probably Tau, because there was a load of Tau stuff in the game code, with descriptions of certain castes, and list of names of all Tau troops.

  • you know what would be good for a story for the expansion coming up, if you guys remember the story of the original Dawn of War, and remember how at the end the space marines release a supposedly all powerful demon, they should do a storyline based around that, with two or three story paths, one for the blood ravens and eldar, one for orks and chaos, and a final for tyranids.

  • how could you beat the AVATAR with the tyranids?

  • distract it with a gaunt swarm, or a few carns, while you have warriors, zoans and any other ranged units pelting it like crazy.

  • i'm ashamed at my self for triple posting but i got it wrong three times, im just noting this was a reply to FdxKrlh

  • my point is this IS strategic online and on hard difficulties, but if you want it easy and not strategic it's still fun

  • its like company of heroes, the graphics and how you can hide behind the wall to get shield bonus.

    which seems very cool

  • Is this the same kind of RTS like warcraft 3? IE, in mark of chaos, you can't build structures, harvest recources etc (as far as i know). Is this "build a base and harvest" type rts?

  • there actually is no base building whatsoever in dawn of war 2, there was in dawn of war 1 though.

  • well still... I might download this.

    its just that I had such big expectations for RA3 and then it just dropped its pants and got bumfucked...
