While blood ravens are the only playable campaign force, there's still the Skirmish mode, so I'd say it's worth getting just for the singleplayer

Yeah, there is a great skirmish mode and you can customize the levels, objectives, opponenets etc. Also, you can just download the demo from any gaming web-site, you don't need to order anything from GW.

I'm still gonna buy the game. Too bad I'm also stuck with a gamecube, although there are a few good games coming out, like Resident Evil 4, Paper Mario 2, Baten Koas, Mario Tennis, Metriod Prime Echos........ :D Man I need more money. :D

I'll get Halo 2 when it eventually gets ported to a better version on the PC. B)

Ahem. HERETICS! ALL WHO DEFY THE GREATNESS THAT IS DAWN OF WAR MUST DIE!!
Sorry. Just had to get that out. But I'm serious...The only thing that'll be better then Dawn of War will be Halo 2.
*Looks impatiently at Halo 2 release date...* Hurry up damn you! Hurry!

Edit: The third mission so far has Imperial Guardsmen you can use. 4 units of them!
Their pretty much crappy cultists.
And they can't capture Supply Points.
I like black text you like black text lalala! lalala! ..wow, I already lost the tune to that song..
Folks, I may return or I may vanish, but know..

There is a skirmish mode? Right, that settles it, I'm buying it... I've got a day off school tomorrow, I guess it was meant to be... :)

I'm telling you, you can download a demo of the game off the internet! Just go to a site like fileplanet or gamespot (which is free) or any other gaming site. If it runs like crap in the demo then don't buy it.

What are the specs of your system? I could guess if it would run fine or not.

I don't think any thing is wrong with posting system requirments, if you really needed them then you'd just go to a store and look at the side of the box.

My core system is:

Windows XP
2.4 Ghz Pentium 4
NVidia Geforce4 Ti 4200 128 MB 8x
768 MB RAM
60 GB harddrive
52x CD-ROM
Cable Internet Connection


The game runs very smooth on my system. The only lag I get is from other people on the same server. If you have a 56k modem then expect a slideshow in large battles......I've seen soem players get kicked because of a 56k modem. :blink:

My name in the Demo and Beta was Darlethnym. It migth be the same when I get the game.

Well, if I can run it (intel 'extreme' graphics card, 1.4 ghz processor), I'll be either TyrantNumber34 or Carni's_Carnival. Or Khilkhret_the_Hrud
And as far as I'm concerned, Death to the False Emperor!!!
Guess who's back?

Eldar seem to be one of the cheaper armies, with the grav-platform rushing. They cost around 100 power and requisition each, have 340 rangedattack power which is good verus heavy armour, builings, and tanks, and have 1100 ficken health each! A rush of 36 of these through a webway is an instant game winner most of the time, unless you have a lot of plasma, which is unlucky if you know you are paying eldar.

I used to play chaos, but now I love marines. Scouts are so fun, especially when you use them to deep Strike 5 dreads and 20 termies into the enemy base. I've won so many games that way.

I have to go buy this game really soon......

Try the Beta for now, if you can get it. Either that, or just save up money and get it is my advice...

DEATH TO...Abbadon! I think...
I know!
BURN THE HERETICS! KILL THE TRAITORS! EXECUTE THE UNCLEAN XENOS SCUM!

Simply put...Orcs, Eldar, and Chaos; You're going down. Have a nice day! :D

Ok, this happened to me. When you run the install, just let it run itself out. It may say 'not responding', but trustme,it will open after a minute or two. If I'm wrong then I will give you....................an apology. :P But trust me, it should work. :D
