It's actually a 3v3.

And it IS a joke.

So what point are you trying to make?

They are imbalanced, need buffing, need nerfing, need additional dye in their cloaks?


Throw us a bone here...


In 3vs3 everything is a joke. I could spam rangers and delegate an ork ally to spam tankbustas, still one team mate left to do something useful.

Just watch and laugh, damn it. I'd make you a proper Ranger replay pack if the damned game every matched me with anyone over TS33.

Purely epic xD
Though, I belive this means we allready need a replay subforum, no?

That looked like a fun game. I love how often you had to dodge the enemy ASMs. Also that was one of the closest games I've ever watched, I actually couldn't believe that your team pulled off that win at the last minute.

We were pretty much all fucking around so it would have been over MUCH quicker if we used the usual powerstrats.

Yeah, the only time I have close games when I'm with my usual crew is when we're fucking around and actually run into half decent enemies, so we have to pull our act together halfway through the match.

But yeah, hilarious game. :lol:

That was a really nice replay, very very close. Loved the ending :)

After those rangers hit their lvl4's they really started to pack a punch.

Such a close game! I love games when everyone's tier 3-4 units come out.

One volley of from your rangers near the end instantly killed 2 level 4 assault marines. Brilliant!

VERY SORRY TO HIJACK THE THREAD. But how exactly to you save/record replays in dawn of war 2? Is there a particular program you need because, maybe its just me, but the save replay button isnt working?

C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Games\Dawn of War 2 Demo\Playback

That would likely be the directory for your beta files, copy the temp.rec file (which is the last game played) into a different folder, rename and then cut and paste back into your Playback folder.

There's a similar strategy with SM Scouts sniper rifles in 3v3. I faced it as an Ork player where another teammate would support the SM sniper spammer every now and then.

Not fun to play against at all.

To all those guys commenting on how close it was, it was only close because we wanted it to be close. Don't get it in your heads that the other team were actually any good.

Do Rangers deal some AV damage? I had a ranger squad down a dread at one point so I was wondering.

Or just rename temp.rec? No need to cut and paste.

Rangers deal AV damage, but it's insignificant. So don't expect a Ranger squad to take down a dreadnought(unless it has 5 hp left)

the sad part is that you could have done better with 8 squads of guardians.

For laughs, try More Dakka on them.
