Does anyone play Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2?

I'm looking for someone to play Co-op and some multiplayer with, the game is surprisingly fun although quite diff than DoW1.

Feel free to add me, Gamertag: Banaxe.

I do. Love that game. My gamertag for Games for Windows is Ozu08865 if you want to get a game going.

I bought the pre-release played it like mad but never installed it after release. :-/ I might install it again or company of heroes... not sure.

I was actually thinking about buying this sometime soon.  I played in the beta before a long while ago.  Is the online community still active?

Also was in the Beta, it just didn't seem like a FUN RTS , so I went back to COH.

too bad I wasn't the first post.   I was going to throw up some ass comment like " no... nobody does.   not in the entire world.   All the people playing online are bots or <insert racist name here> which don't count as people "

The balance on the 1st oen was terrible. Space marrines only if you wanted to win. So the 2nd one isn'T interesting me. Hey just like sins right now it's all advent.

You should try out DoWII, Its a very good and "Balanced" game, Unit to Unit, yes the space marines win, but, thats because they have the smallest squads in the game. So its really all balanced...

I'm thinking about getting this game...From the looks of the trailers i saw on youtube kind of looks like Diablo meets Demigod with just a hint of XXXX (insert whatever RTS you like there).

Would that be a fair call? If not, feel free to set me straight guys...game does look like its worth getting.

I really liked the coop, but multi wore off quick for me. The matches just end up feeling really similar, and almost routine at times.

I don't like in the new patch how you end up with such an ungodly amount of units, which goes against the thing I did like about the game to begin with - just microing a few squads around to their best potentiall. Nowadays I'm just boxselecting stuff and giving them general move or attackmove orders while I go do something else.

I've had this game a while.  Sadly, I had almost talked two of my friends into getting Demigod with me, but they ended up getting DoW2 because of the condition Demigod was in when released. 

I really do like it's Rep system; friending abilities; and none of us has had any drops, DCs, or laggy games yet.  I don't think it's P2P, and we get into games in under a minute usually.  I find I enjoy the core game itself "almost" as much as Demigod; my friends like it much more.

I usually don't do OP/UP messages, but man did they castrize the Space Marines in 1.5.  That's the only race I've really ever played, and I'm haveing trouble even beating the AI with them now.  But here's a strategy tip if you still want to play SM after 1.5: If you get into melee, retreat, but, if you get into a ranged fire-fight, retreat. . . . . . .

Heh, funny. I too will wait for a gold pack with the first expansion. But I'm gonna buy it online though. Steam is to expensive.

It costs 28euro here so "half" price at 25euro isn't much difference.
