I'd like to see a different formula from the usual SM come to fuck up the Orks, they find out the Orks are being manipulated by Chaos or Eldar, and then proceed to discover either Eldar or Chaos (whoever wasn't manipulating the Orks) and battling them too

I think the Necrons would be a good shout this time around, just as long as I never have to see the Tau again
>>
>>47056978
The Honouable Blood Ravens are assaulting a Tau world (with no mention of Diomedes, Gabe or Hairgel in the game) when Chaos Marines attack both sides. The attack is a screening action which allows an Ork WAAAAGH to land, sowing general mayhem. The entire kerfuffle is revealed to be Eldar Trickery, who are attempting to weaken all the factions in a grand melee so they can swoop in and kill the survivors so they can do a geological survey in peace.

No base building, copy-paste maps, close combat units are as shit in-game as they are on the table, Eldar have a natural 25% faster running speed, and Tau can take Crises from game start

Look into your heart, know it to be true.

>MOBA hybrid
Whut?

If anything I'd call DoW2 campaign a tactical Hack n Slash.
>>
>>47058480

Depends on which Dawn of War 2. The original did feel like a moba, or a high-speed Icewind Dale-style without pausing.

Retribution was just pick your race and go through the same campaign group selecting your guys and clicking forward.
>>
I've never bothered to look into warhammer or dawn of war, what exactly is it? I get dawn of war was an rts, but people are throwing around moba comparisons and base building so now I'm confused.
>>
>>47058528
One was a traditional RTS
DoW2 was not. It was more focused on tactics than base building. You had one structure that spawned everything.
>>
>>47058528
DoW1 was a pretty straight forward RTS with generic base building mechanics and a decent selection of units across the factions.

DoW2 dropped the base building mechanic and gave the player access to hero units a la Warcraft 3, complete with kustomizable wargear. I don't know enough about the unit variety to comment.
>>
>>47058556
>tactics
kek, it was 'click guys, click enemy' and if your dudes died you just revived them and clicked again. Give me immersion breaking base building any day
>>
>>47056229

>>
>>47058528
well you have dawn of war wich is the basic RTS of you build a base produce units and research shit with the slight change that to gain resources you had to cap points scattered around the map the only big problem with the game was it was about as complex as a brick
dawn of war 2 has more of a focus on individual units each with their own abilities and strengts they also did away with most of the base building replacing it with a upgradable main building the campaing also did not feature base building unit construction or anything like that but rather centered around several units each with their own load outs and skills.

>the original did feel like a moba
Jeez, is it a buzzword now?

MOBAs really are like a simplified RTS/Action RPG hybrid. DoW2 was more on the RTS side (for one giving you multiple units to control and making character progress happen between missions).
It's more like following the direction of Warcraft 3. Focus on the heroes in each squad. Still, I'd say it was more tactical than your average Russian-infested MOBA.

I have no doubt that the game will look and play great, DoW is a franchise that seems to be avoiding the shit hammer.
But I don't expect a good story, the Bludd Ravens are a pretty interesting chapter fluffewise, but they just look and act like generic marines, plus their story is getting stretched a bit thin, I mean how many times can a chapter be on the brink of destruction in the same century?

To you and all the people complaining about not all the factions being in the game just remember that WH40k has like 10 different factions when most rts games have like 3, they've been really good about adding in factions as DLC but having them all in vanilla would overwhelm players, plus you'd have to make a shitty contrived story to include them all.

I'm seeing Falcons, Fire Prisms, Vypers, Dark Reapers, Dire Avengers, Howling Banshees, and Wraithguard for the Eldar.

But so many of them have died. Lets take the losses in Dow1 and Dark Crusade as usual attrition losses. In soulstorm they the guts of 4 companies. Then they got fucking massacred by nids in Dow2.

Like I said, that means shit. The Warhammer settings have never cared about realism in numbers. Even if it seems impossible that a faction or group could survive the losses they take, if the authors want to write about them then they'll be fine.

He kills Nuddyfist then toddles off in the defeat cutscene. All the Ork stronghold debriefings mention his escape too. This is, of course, assuming he lost.

>While the Orks of Kaurava were thoroughly defeated, less is known concerning the great Ork Warboss himself. Imperium scanner logs indicate that an Ork craft did take off from the scene, but any other information was lost to the heat of the battle.

>There was only one blemish in the Space Marines’ otherwise flawless execution: Gorgutz himself somehow eluded their grasp. Some reports attested to a crude rocket, which took off at the battle’s end, while others claim the blast was a timed bomb, closing off a tunnel entrance to cover the great Ork’s escape.

>The Canoness took her victory as a testament to their faith. When it was discovered, after the battle, that the Warboss Gorgutz had somehow escaped, she maintained that the Emperor had humbled them in their moment of victory, lest they grow too proud.

>While his crazed, victorious soldiers butchered and burned the vanquished army, Lord Carron stalked the grounds suspiciously, looking for Gorgutz, his nemesis. Again, his instincts had proved true: the great Ork was nowhere to be found. Still, the victory was won. No Orks would trouble the ascendancy of Chaos.

>During all these proceedings, Lord Tahril himself scoured the camp for his adversary, Gorgutz – but in vain. The Archon had looked forward with great pleasure to personally eviscerating the Ork Warboss. Still, they had sent him scurrying in fear, and that would surely suffice for now.

>Strangely, several reports suggest that an Ork rocket blasted off from the Rokclaw Mountains just at the moment of the Necron victory. Still, even if Gorgutz were aboard this rocket, and made it to safety, the Kauravan cause was lost for the Orks.

So here's a question, obviously if they're including super heavy units, the DLC races are likely to be the ones that can field a response. So what do we have?

stormsurge

>tyranids
Hierodule/hierophant

>necron
tesseract vault

>chaos
renegade knight? Maybe a giant demon or something

>admech/IG/sisters
also knights, I guess. Baneblade is possible for IG

Did I miss any? I think judging by this list, Tau is the most likely first DLC race since GW has been pushing the riptide/stormsurge shit pretty hard. I guess Relic could always make up some units for the races like IG/admech/sisters who don't really have their own knights

Just the fact that you could replace them with Ultramarines or Imperial fists and no one would notice a difference most of the time bothers me, they just didn't seem to have much unique personality as a chapter that made them stand apart, which is sad because they actually have some really interesting fluff outside the games as a chapter.

Just take a look at the DLC for Company of Heroes 2, you got mission packs, multiplayer-only factions (western fronts armies) and a singleplayer campaign (ardennes assault). It'll probably be just like that.

I have a theory the game is going to be set on a chaos world where they're stuck fighting for an eternity or something.

The steam store page says the world is called Acheron which is the name of the greek god of the underworld river of pain. Also the surreal feel and architecture combined with the scene where they're all falling into what I can only describe as Khorne's Throne further adds to it. Would also explain why chaos wasn't announced as a playable faction, because they're sitting on the sidelines and laughing.

Anything which adds to the gameplay, I'd buy pretty much right off the bat. Whether that's new races, campaigns, expansions, whatever. Multiplayer map packs might not interest me too much unless they were super-cheap, but some £5 aesthetic skins would be lovely.

They already mention something along the lines of you only have 3 drop pods and only 3 elite units the rest is line infantry

This means its like retibution where you just spam build tac marines to attack move and use your elites in the back.

The pictures are already chokepoint flat maps like starcraft. They have no depth (as in theme and direction rather than physical depth) so its fighting over a narrow inert choke point after another inert chokepoint.

With them removing the coversystem expect ground deformation to be gone, expect dynamic troop moving to be gone as well. So its literally attack move the mass combat APM fest.

I am highly uninterested in this game now
