[sawnoff0murloc]

[slinov]

@sawnoff0murloc Is your GFX card reasonable?

[RoboJessus724]

and the voice in the game is supposedly the hive mind's voice

[cutiepe2ce]

it sounds like contonna's voice...but the voice is so cool..tyranid queen in the hive fleet observing the battle from above..think so..ha

[Talbron]

If I were to change one thing about that voice, I'd make it sound like a bunch of voices were talking at once.

[cutiepe2ce]

welll their voice acting are so manely and deep...but cyrus sounds like vincent from final fantasty

[RoboJessus724]

tht at 0:14 is a carnifex a carnifex is more hunch like and a hive tyrant stands upright, and a carnifex can use guns

[chickenchoumain]

the creature that arives at 0:14 is the hive tyrant coz its got a gun for ling range fighting the carnifax is just close combat XD

[goomotion]

[Killbot246]

u must have a very fast computer

[kazamato1]

to be able to play and capture in HD i think so lol

[phatmonk6195]

i got the beta and my geforce 6200 like didnt even try to run this. even on 800 by 600

[litchk]

i hope it is as good as the first

[gloinus]

If the hive mind voice did sound more like:

"Grr... Rezzinforcmentzz *Grunt* coming..."

It would get really annoying after a while.

[pyramidheadkitten9]

wow, the hive mind sounds a little less threatening than i thought it would...

[M0nk3yboi]

is it me of do the eldar guardians have different weapons? if they're meant to be the same then it looks well crap, looks better on the first one. i meant the projectiles or w,e they are.

[SanctifiedBolter]

Probably to sound more "Hive Mind"

[badpeq]

Is that how the voice for the Tyranid player sounds?

What the hell? It's sounds more Tau than anything else, why is it all digitallized and robotic?

I was hoping for a deep, raspid, insect-like growl to represent the Hive Mind, but it sounds like a star wars droid.

[EmperorTeepo]

That's true. It sounds more like a droid.

I guess they didn't want it to be to similar to zergs

[MatteV2]

what would have been awesome would have been a more Starcraft Zerg like voice dont you think?

[realtree2371]

@badpeq i think they were going for a sound like the queen from gears of war. But yeah it sounds to much like a robot

[utubecramp]

Think COH. Even a small unit of Rangers can beat a much larger force. But you need to use them smart. Properly placed, a unit of Rangers supported by a gun emplacement can create a choke point against both infantry and tanks. But you need to use them properly. Need to guard your resource points. A smart player seeing Rangers might attempt to break the link between territories before assaulting a Ranger unit. Or arti fire or put some smoke rounds into the area. I think that's the new mantra.

[utubecramp]

The way I see it, depending on how balanced the game is, could be very tactical. With limited units, stronger cover system, pinning, etc, a high level game can get really tactical. in DOW1, you can keep churning units to fight. In DOW2, you make do with what you have. The only way to make it really tactical is to make huge map, so players have to decide on which area to defend, choke, assault, etc.

[3y3sho7]

For me they made it too simple, shortening the gap between the skillful and noobs.

regardless, pretty fun.

maybe annihilation mod will make it as epic as dc, like commanding a speartip assault force rather than a single company, or less :(

[robotreviewer]

They have totally takenthe fun from this game,

no additional buildings- just stronghold,

theyve taken away Listening posts for fucks sake,

theyve taken away the fun and tactics,

now its just scouting.

[xCyrusx2008]

Taken away the fun? Maybe for you. I think this game is much more tactical than DoW1. Smaller squads, smaller amount of units means you have to think more carefully about how you play and when and where to attack, especially in team games.

[robotreviewer]

hmmm, so tactical - means fun?

no it doesnt

anyways, dow 2 isnt more tactical,

like i told you theyve just taken everything out, put more expensive units in,

you dont have to upgrade anything, no buildings, no listening posts,

its not more tactical.

dow DC is the best one, fun, strategic, tacticul and interesting.

dow 2 is just scouting and flanking, like i said.

[xCyrusx2008]

I didn't say tactical means fun. I was just stating that the game has taken away the fun for you, not everyone else. Since the only games I play on PC are RTS games, Yes, tactical means more fun for me which is why I mentioned it. I actually hate the base building aspect of games like this, and, DoW1 as I saw, was just spamming as many units as you could until you could fill up the screen.

[robotreviewer]

the last game was more tactical over all imo

[nicolaz2002]

You're right xCyrusx2008, but you have to understand all the starcraft fags who masturbate with big armies of units.

This game is great because is a kick in the balls of all those who think "Build order" is everything.

Now people will compare this new and exciting game system with the old crap starcraft system that won't change with stacraft 2

I vote for DoW2 :D

[EvilxMadexFlesh]

i completely agree...I mean building doesnt show me much fun at all..actually its kind of boring..and im glad they did the unit upgrades..makes you care about your units and makes you use alot more strategy.

[HiveFleetDerilect]

Thsi doesenet look as cool as other videos!

[jameslee1607]

They should have made units lose a bit of their health when they destroy terrain.

[nnnb]

anyone else having problems with the beta despite having the requirements like i am?

[assassin335]

the only problem with nids in this game is that they made the squads too smal my orks take out there 8 manned squads with ease

[Baneboss]

Eldar skimmers shouldnt destroy terrain. Theyre elegant and gentle crafts.

[porcu12345]

Well they can smash in to a unit of power armoured (harder than those walls) space marines in a tank shock move in the table top game. There's no reason why they can't do it here.

[DoWCodex]

Beta is on steam, see my channel for more info

[ortraptor1234]

man, bout time they have the tyranids

also, were can you get the beta?

[AndrewDRR]

i have soulstorm downloaded on steam and on my comp on both the beta but it always says "launching DOWII beta" but it never starts can you help

[assassin335]

just keep waiting need to be patient

[SiMpLyReDiCuLoUs]

that happens to me too after a while it goes steam servers too busy and the update will never finish

[Obvious000]

*Falls down in total shock*

[LeeroyFan101]

Can you build fortifications in the game? It looks like its too easy to destroy your cover.

[EvilKhai]

Great and awesome one! I'm so happy I can play beta, this game is so incredible! I loose all the time, but that doesn't matter :D

[AKbrand95]

Cool! Cant wait.

[Haraio4]

I like the Tyranid voice. It's like you can hear the Hive Mind thinking^^

[bliink182]

awesome!
