No, anon. Titans are from Battletech.

It was actually a misunderstanding in licensing.

I use to play them when I played the tabletop game.

I never understood how Men of War got so popular. I want to command soldiers, not baby sit fucking retards.

I played the first Men of War and remember being confused why one of my riflemen was shooting. I checked his inventory and saw he was carrying 700 rounds worth of MG42 ammo and 5 German Helmets. (He had a Rifle and was wearing a Russian hat)

What? Are you talking about Space Marine or something? I was talking about how its a shame that they went back to cover circles.

Basically my perfect version of DOW3 would be the cover mechanics of DOW2, with a larger scale then DOW1. With base building and resource management as a for-front.

>>340149467
When nothing but chest high walls provide cover. No cover bonus when in a crater or trench or a negative effect in water

>>340149014
>even in DoW threads there are MoW fags shitting on CoH
Just like DoW1 was for compstompers, MoW should be for campaign because its multiplayer sucks.
You have to constantly micromanage obvious shit like inability of your soldiers to turn their heads from time to time to not get ambushed by a ninja with grenade.
Because how defences and tanks work it always ends up as WWI simulator instead of WWII.
Are you just this unwilling to admit that some simplification can be done for gameplay sake to avoid becoming as unrealistic while pursuing "realism".

Honestly, I am more interested in Eternal Crusade right now. The info we have on DoW 3 is super fucking disappointing. They are taking so many steps back. Instead of learning from the mistakes of of both DoW 1 and 2, and building an overall grander game, that represents 40k universe faithfully, they are just simplifying the game (cover mechanics being brought back to DoW 1 state, and bringing back the uninspired as fuck base building mechanics that don't even fit most 40k races.

Not to mention the ominous allusions to mobas and making the game more accessible etc.

Whereas Eternal Crusade, seems to be improving with each update, against all odds.
The Eldar will probably be in this summer, and I can't wait.

Ya I can assume that my men did not auto pick the stuff up. Clearly I clicked something that caused it to happen.

There was some retarded design with inventory system.
Like, for whatever fucking reason soldiers drop their helmets and weapons when they die and this leads to a clusterfuck of trash when you search for specific ammo type or weapon and makes you pick up random shit when you try to move through battlefield.
This shit is okay with pause in SP but is fucking stupid in MP.
There is no command to order your soldiers to salvage shit from nearby area for ammo instead of clicking on 50 bodies until you find the guy with panzershreck ammo.
>>
>>340151712
How is it p2w?
>>
>>340151052
Later on they added resupply trucks so you don't need to fuck about with inventory management. At most you'll have to get your wounded man to regather his firearm or medic kit, maybe helmet. Shit tends to go flying off them in explosions, if you order them to move before they automatically recover their shit they just leave it on the field.

Can't blame you for not wanting to return to the series though, took a handful of games before they unfucked a lot of stuff that was really obviously shit design from the start.

You can still play with mainly fire warriors and hammerheads. Just expect to get your ass kicked by guys who bring their top tier units - even if you play really well and get excellent rolls, you're still at a severe disadvantage.

From the looks of it, the game is not getting positive reviews by the looks of the screenshot.

There wont be any tactics and it seems, it will only be a turtle/standoff shootout. No proper cover placement, graphics are terrible (waiting to see how it looks in motion) and for some reason the proportions looks a bit ... odd.

If youre going to pull that argument then I have to say that there are much much better and active competitive RTS games you could be playing. A game shouldnt rely entirely on the multiplayer component to give it worth either.

You dont know anything about DoW or "competitive RTS"

RTS games are made for multiplayer, saying you only play single player just shows how little you not only know about DoW but RTS games in general.
>>
>>340153512
You can play them but it would be roughly like playing an all-Kroot army back then.
Needless to say, Kroot never got any more units and are now useful only as paperweights.

Simply put, Tau finally lived up to their weeaboo MSGundam legacy.

Those baseline mechs, Riptides, are even ultra nimble and mobile despite being almost as big as the kinghts and much, much better armed.
Basically anime mechas.

Ever played the Myth games? Total War series? You want them to all be the same and this is why the RTS genre is fucking dying. Because theyre all the same people ALWAYS flock to the one game that does it better, and DoW was not that game, they all went to Starcraft and Warcraft 3, which were better competitive games. Theres a reason the multiplayer is dead and its not because its old m8, it just wasnt as good as other games in the genre.

Im hoping to fuck in DoW3 they make something other than another multiplayer dependent RTS game, otherwise it will get pushed aside because its not Starcraft or a MOBA, they NEED something else in the game to give it difference.

Much faster than Marines, but more fragile. Weapons are generally shurikan catapolts, think of a fast storm bolter but more accurate with less damage.

Warlocks currently have Sorcerer abilities, but a lot of animations are in(but buggy).

Swooping Hawks are weird, though should be smoother at their launch. Jumps REALLY far, but flying itself I haven't gotten down yet.

Banshees hit like a truck but their running attack ironically isn't in yet.

Scorpion stealth is neat, actually pretty balanced.

Others play how you would expect. Shurikans and Meltas.

Actually its not even that, regular IG get respirators too when the situation demands it.

The main difference is that Karskrin are veteran Cadians that get carapace armour. I dont have any kind of evidence for this but I'm guessing GW depicts them almost always wearing their masks, while Guardsmen dont wear, mainly to differentiate the two.
