DRIVE ME CLOSER!

[PROkiller16]

...I did, I beat up an Unclean One and won.

[teencomment]

I may be the only person that's ever played a Warhammer game that's surprised that Commissars and Imperial Guard Sergeants actually still use swords in combat XD

[DeadManSinging1]

@teencomment No everyone is. It makes no sense. We have massive guns so wee will charge the enemy. Also, Guardsmen charge the enemy with houses. Da Fuck?

[K0ragg]

@teencomment power swords and chainswords,space marines use them too lol

[iseeallforme]

Now what was once heresy became orthodoxy.

[stringtheory00]

it could be a case of 'getting crap past the radar'

[Scorch238]

This... exists?

Oh my goodness I'm laughing so hard I can't stop

[petergreg101]

best vid ever!

[zasderder]

based of the demotivational poster

[justletmelistthese]

@zasderder Demotivational? HERESY!

[DeadBoneJones]

CHAOSM

[Xenoforge78]

@DeadBoneJones CHAOS MA-

[th3trueking]

rofl

[Exodurge]

They also did the dynamic entry meme with the new Tau Commander DLC...

[foetus4all]

Oh Sind- I mean Relic.

[EltBerserker]

Meanwhile... in Libya...

[Soullocked]

CHAOS MAHR-

[weegar]

that line can be used in soo many ways....

[mistformsquirrel]

*snerk* Did not see this one coming. Amused I am.

[Ralphiriusgr8]

Maybe it's Cain who's acting badass while he knows nobody would actually listen to that command.

[SnakeOnAPlane]

To all those commenting on his lack of sword:

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this. <===|~

[thebaldurian]

@SnakeOnAPlane : "you jumped into a sword! You're retarded!"

[realninja01]

@thebaldurian "Press "r" to retry"

[WMDHereticSoul]

Well palyed, Relic. Well played.

[KILOBify]

lol, he's not even using a Sword.

[TheInsaneWombat]

@KILOBify He holds his arm up like he has one, so maybe he's supposed to?

[gruntowner]

@TheInsaneWombat I'd imagine that's just the only way you CAN hold a power fist without the weight pulling your arm from its socket.

[SilentStalkerX]

Why did I smile at this?

[MandaloreMovies]

No one will ever be this badass.

[vb4You]

Comedy is the only thing the RT campaign has going for it...

It's good what they did to GFWL. But the low-quality 100% scripted campaign pisses me off.

Also, there's the fucking balance fix for TLS?

[Boxghost102]

Well, they put a /Tg/ meme in, now can they take its advice and get rid of Matt Ward?

[HoOkEdOnBlEaCh]

@Boxghost102 They not only put meme in they actually made a couple of /tg/ fanon characters canon o_O, namely the Vindicare Assasin LIIVI and acolyte Grendel. Look up on 1d4chan, hilarious :D

[gzu17]

@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh LIIVI is just a nod, though (since Taldeer is canonically dead) but Grendel was a huge boost in the happy sack.

[InquisitorxSmith]

@gzu17 haven't managed to find the Grendel reference yet.

[Xenoforge78]

@HoOkEdOnBlEaCh Holy shit, that's awesome. Relic = Bro tier

[NightFox889]

And yet he has a Power Fist >.>

[SaintBroken]

Thank god I saw this here first. If I would have heard this ig I wouldn't be able to stop laughing! :D

[Tassadarky]

Further proof of how 1337 the IG is!

Now they just need a TACTICAL GENIUS (HURR DURR) and a HERO OF THE IMPERIUM and we're set!

[dwahuntur]

@Tassadarky i approve of this comment, it would take a tactical genius to be hate this comm...... CREEEEEEEDDD!!!

[spartan117009]

@dwahuntur its not CREEEEEEEEDDD!!! But... CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­ED!!!!!!!!!1

[chainsawninjalcemist]

But... he doesn't have a sword.... he has a power fist.

[zulauk]

@chainsawninjalcemist If the commissar says he has a sword, HE HAS A SWORD, XD

He could be delusional or he could be baiting someone for a quick moral boost either way somethings getting shot... lol

[Rednamarax]

This is the funnest thing I've seen today... including Araghast the Pillager videos...

[CaptainPengu]

Retribution was just a fountain of meme shout-outs.

from "This is an outrage!"

to "It's dangerous to go alone, take this!"

[PauloTonBastardo]

@CaptainPengu

Don't forget the Ork campaign's Chopped Armor:

"This armor looks chopped! I can tell from the knife marks and from having seen quite a few chops in my time"

[Extraintrovert]

Obviously, Commisar Bern wasn't allowed to speak in the campaign because any enemies would have exploded from his sheer presense, leaving nothing for the players to do.

[HereticusPrimus]

OMIGOD!!! This guy deserves to be enshrined with the likes of Commisar Fuklaw. DRIVE ME CLOSER, I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD!

well played neckbeards, well played.

[kilmindaro3]

@HereticusPrimus

I think his name was Commissar Dan originally.

[HereticusPrimus]

@kilmindaro3 DAN! You are now as awesome as Fuklaw!! 

[HereticusPrimus]

OMIGOD!!! This guy deserves to be enshrined with the likes of Commisar Fuklaw. DRIVE ME CLOSER, I WANT TO HIT THEM WITH MY SWORD!

[burningchakra0000]

the best quote ever!111!!!1!

[woodwyrm]

I like ya hat by da way!

[Gauldoth]

Well played, /tg/, well played.

[clicheguy]

Congrats, fa/tg/uys.

[woodwyrm]

@clicheguy and ca/tg/irls!

[Sup3rSayanPhurb33]

6 people were hit with his sword.

[Chef033]

CHAOS MAR-

[KraftyMagician]

I wish they had Necrons in this game.

[kcesar68]

It bares no blood stains!! I'm an INSULTED.

[MrMacSpiffy]

In the words of Commissar Fuklaw, "Hell yeah."

[DarkKetzerisch]

Featured on TV Tropes! =D

[brazothegr8]

didn't he have a power fist? :D

[CncWWII]

This quote alone makes me want to by Retribution.

[Valrez812]

The only thing that saddens me is the lack of Space Marine Chaplains.

[anangrygoldfish]

CHAOS M-

Oh, never mind, they're being hit with a sword.

[Spartan120]

"Drive me closer! I want to hit them with my fist!"

Sounds just as awesome, if not more. Also brings up the epic image of a bunch of Orks fleeing in terror of a Commissar shaking his fist at them.

[Punishthefalse]

@Spartan120 Only one Commissar can be that epic.

His name is Sebastian Yarrick.

[IHATEGAYFAMILYGUY]

notice how commisar lord is equip with gauntlet while saying "hitting them with my sword".

[killermus]

@IHATEGAYFAMILYGUY *BLAM*

[daemoniccorpse]

WIN!

[AgentSapphire]

>dawn of war 2 Retribution

>Fuck yeah Inquisition!

>No battle sisters

>FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

It is worth its price tag though. The Last Stand has a new map and guard are fun. Oh, and NOISE MARINES!

... and the sheer number of MEMES

[Restraz]

@AgentSapphire Although, I was supremely disappointed at the lack of Tau.

[Reaper1722]

I gotta say, i've seen that quote a lot of times but i never actually thought relic would use it as i've never put the commissar on a transport.

[awesomegirlnye]

.......is tau even going to be in dow2?

[deeth5]

@awesomegirlnye Judging by your grammar, you're stupid, thus thats why you're asking for Tau in DOW 2

[OmegaSutol]

@deeth5 And that was a run-on sentence.

[KingPiccolOwned]

@deeth5 Why would it be a bad thing to have Tau in Dawn of War 2?

[deeth5]

@KingPiccolOwned Personally, i don't like them, and it pisses me off to no end that, fucking everybody asks for them.

[Rogovets]

@deeth5 But WH40K lore isn't completely trolled without the weeaboo space communists.

[GumbyBrainDoctor]

@Rogovets I would like to see them in game so I can attempt to beat the stupid out of them.

[Rogovets]

@GumbyBrainDoctor Unless Relic codes the Firewarriors and Railgun-totting units to retardedly OP proportions that they become nearly untouchable.

[GoldentuskII]

@awesomegirlnye If it continues to be in the aurelia sector, no.

[sovdruid]

OH GOOD LORD

[MrHellstorm177]

CHAOS....

[iammoose]

The best part was when he said 'Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword'.

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

"But sir, how can you hit them with your sword when you are inside the vehicle?"

...

[BLAM]

"Men, get me another driver!"

[commissarmanul]

Epic

[trooper59]

so much win :D

[igotnonumbers]

LOL 5 PEOPLE GOT HIT BY A SWORD ECKS DEE!!11!

Fuck you. 

[SuperFightingHelstar]

CHAOS M-

[catsndogs98]

@SuperFightingHelstar "Good! Now drive me closer to HIM!"

[vidioinspector]

sword? u hav a power fist N00B commisar!

[kjjejones42]

I must say, I never expected him to be quite so... British.

[Extraintrovert]

Now all we need is someone lamenting that Failbaddon is trying to attack Cadia yet again (or better yet, a disgruntled Guardsman refering to their weapon being as useful as a flashlight), and the universe will be complete.

[OlaftheFlashy]

Fuck yeah!

I approve.

[LuckyAmericanFilms]

"Look, METAHL BAWKSES! Our enemies hide in- HOLY SHIT HE'S HITTING ME WITH HIS SWORD!!!"

[KraftyMagician]

@LuckyAmericanFilms SAVE ME SINDRI!!

[catsndogs98]

@LuckyAmericanFilms "Chaos Marines you say!? DRIVE ME CLOSER!"

[snowskeeper]

Oh, and five people got hit by his sword.

[snowskeeper]

Okay, that kicked ass...

[KingKrebin]

I would have never expected a meme from /tg/ to make it into a video game.

I am impressed.

[sithalo]

@KingKrebin so the meme didnt come form the game?

[KingKrebin]

@sithalo I honestly have no clue, but I would assume it originated from the tabletop, brought to the internet and propagated there, and then finally put into this game.

[Chef033]

@sithalo it originated as a humorous caption for a piece of official 40k art featuring a commissar waving his sword from the cupola of a tank. the caption implied that the reason he's waving his sword isn't because he's rallying his troops but because he wants to hit the enemy with it. google "drive me closer" and the first hundred results for the image search are all the image macro that started the meme.

[sithalo]

@Chef033 i seen the pic but i had no idea that came first. cool thanks for the info

[Sparda219]

YES! This is the best. I love it when creators listen to the fans and find out what we think is funny or entertaining. <3333 They're on the ball with this game.

[TheTuninator]

OH MY GOD YES

[nineballmk2]

oh hell yes!

[Likhos1]

I knew commissar were retard.

[woodwyrm]

@Likhos1 you really dont geddit do ya, git?

if trollan'; -100/10 D:<

[AtticWarrior1994]

I am so gonna say this today.

[Chemodam]

4 enemies were hit with a sword.

[Norrec87]

Commisar is my favorite character. Not just because of this line.

But this line makes me happier every time I hear it.

[KngSol]

Relic are my Heroes now

[CaptainPengu]

@KngSol I guess they're your Company of Heroes.

:B

B:

[Zeredek]

@CaptainPengu

Ba dum tsh!

[Didymuss1]

Makes the £30 price tag all the more bareable

[XanderMorhaime]

Other fun memes... when upgrading guardsmen squads with new gear, when they actually get the gear they'll tend to say "It's dangerous to go alone, take this."

[Tanksareforcowards]

I'm so glad the humor of the first game won't be going away.

[AshhNT1]

SEE?! You don' fuck with The Imperial Guard!

[N0hN4me]

FUCK YEAH!

[Zeredek]

OH MY GOD YES.

[hikarisalterio]

4 guardsmen were shot for treason.

[KrazyKupo]

After hearing that accent spout that meme I am so gonna pre order the crap out of this game.

[tensachan]

omg meme...

[guildcar]

epic 40k win that's what happened here.. that was so epic you could tell stories about it to your grandchildren..

"this one time i saw a man shout a meme and its was amazing! he..."

[kommandojoe]

this is even better than "It's dangerous out there, take this."

[Rogovets]

And just like any real commissar, he never lets practicality get in the way of his sheer awesomeness.

[bobpwnner12]

OOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!!! YYYYYEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!

[vb4You]

I wish the voice acting was better.

But I love the jokes hidden in unit quotes.

[Lieu3C4]

WH40K? The comments tell me "Make It So".

[MrInceptionFanatic]

Allllrighty then ....

[HitmansGamePlays]

What is this i don't even?

[GoldentuskII]

BUT YOU'RE USING A POWERFIST

YOU HAVE NO SWORD

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

@GoldentuskII

HERESY!!

[BLAM]

[lewayprevis]

I can see this being an Internet meme.

[fallenvash]

@lewayprevis What internet rock did you crawl out of? It already is a internet joke/meme. That's why the quote is so hilarious. Just google 40K Hit them with sword.

It's very likely that the original joke started with a simple conversion to place a commisar on the top of one of the player's tanks in an attmept to make an actually good at melee Imperial Guard unit.

[Notty0rNice]

/watch?v=uO7OMsyhyiM

[WillYum97]

What game is this!?!?!? Sorry idk guys :P

[LordLastDay]

@WillYum97 Warhammer 40k Dawn of War II: Retribution. The quote was a motivational poster that... well ascended. :)

[Ownedyou]

Bravo!

[ehuman]

Great. Now I'm buying this game after staying away (because of standalone expansion price tags) for a long time. Curse you relic!

[ashariston3s]

It's hilarious how adding memes to a game draws people to it like moths to flame, bravo marketing team on shepherding these dumb lambs around.

[WilhelmScreamer]

You win everything forever.

[hisoj]

and I was planning on not getting this after being dowed out by chaos rising

now I have to buy this

[risbolla]

Haw haw

[SkullKrusher000]

Now all we need is a clip of Lord General Freddie Castor Mercury yelling, "DON'T STOP ME NOW!"

[wicNKWD37]

Ghazgul Thraka disliked this.

[NeoSquall86]

This would be MUCH better if he had the same crazed voice as DoW1 :(

Neverthless, FUCK YES!

[MrFiremagnet]

Now I'll buy this game for sure.

[warhammerchaosgod]

thx 4 the reactions, already have the beta :)

[Haloister]

Commisar : Drive me closer I want to hit them with my sword

Tank Commander: But sir your sword is to short we can't posibly d . . .

BANG

Commisar: Anyone else want to question me

[DSFARGEG00]

sup /tg/

[guardsman40k]

but but but...... HE IS HOLDING A POWER FIST

[burningphoneix]

MORE MORE VIDEOS!

I hear the Lord General mentions Yarrick when fighting the orcs

[wicNKWD37]

@burningphoneix the lord commisar talks about Yarriks claw.

[RedSHARK6]

CHAOS MA-

[OrdoMallius]

BRB PREORDERING 

[Lothies]

Well played Relic. Well Played.

[lobsopdoy]

YES!

[THEDOOFGOOF]

Silly Commissar, thats not a sword, thats a power fist.

[DIEGhostfish]

YEEEEES.

Can you do one of the Catachan Devils yelling "GIT TO DA VALKYRIE!" when they retreat?

[Afoxi]

@DIEGhostfish I can't seem to get the Catachan Devils to say anything while retreating, but I'll keep trying later.
