Is this going to be it?

[sparky]

Hello

yeah i was playing the beta and i was thinking to myself... is this going to be it???? is there going to be addon's.. like more game types...

e.g.

In 40k you have to build armys out of point values of 1000 + and organisational force charts (40k players should know what im on about)... will they have a game type that will allow this to happen? i mean that would get alot of 40k players in to playing this... also you get alot of people wanting to test out there armys or just want to play there army to other people all over the world... I think thats pritty damn funky

Oh and also... they said in that 20minute E3 video that they wont have whole thing were you have to build up a base and have defences etc etc but yet.. THEY DO... Like omg i didnt want to see that... i just wanted a huge army so that i can kick ass

Also you know the way you have caps... Whats the point in them... all you need to do is make 10 dreadnoughts and thats it you have won.... nothing stops dreadnoughts.... they REALLY need to sort that out... They should balance it out so that doesnt happen... More squads of dudes and less dreadnoughts abd tanks

Oh yeah.... do you think they should bring out more races like tyranids and Necrons

Just imagen loads of big scary monsters running at you... or you empty everything at a squad but whenever you think there dead they stand back up... sounds very annoying to me :D i might design afew mods if i can understand were all the data files are.. (can anyone help me out?)

But besides from that the game is good... i like it :beer: :smash:

[wolfjunkie]

This is not a direct pc version of TT, this is DoW a WH 40K inspired game, sharing alot of rules etc etc...but...i dont think so..maybe we will se some more maps, but dont count on buying armys on forehand and then playing etc etc....also, 10 dreads? easily stopped...try making 10 dreads yourself? 10 predators? lots of marines? farseer? they are easily stopped, nuff said

[Captain Taco]

yes, sparky. they're done. relic decided that the beta was so good that they all quit and when to mexico, where right now jay wilson, the dow dev. team and alex garden are doing tequila shots.

seriously, i think half of your post has been answered a hundred times before, and the dreadnought part should be in the beta forums.

and as a slightly off topic part, does anyone else hate the gavel pounding smiley as much as i do?

[Keslov]

sparky... that is the most idiotic thing i've ever heard. You should look a little into what the developers have said about this game before you post and make your self look stupid :Slap:

[Grim_Reaper47]

Well,the reason they put caps on the Armys is because it will be unfair you just build a huge army in less than a minute then crush the enemy because he wasent fast enough-no fun and yes caps do get annoying.Ok have you played SC example terran has to build supply depots to increase the army size.For WC3 for Humans you have to build farms to increase the army size.RTS will always have that thing "you have to build or get this to increase your army size" so well get used to it there not gonna take it off dosent matter how annoying it is it's because of the balance the gameplay.

Trynids will be bad ass swarm the enemy and they also need to be fast ill play them cuz I play zerg on SC-GO ZERG!!!,necrons yah ill give them a chance cuz there robots than flesh and totally different from the rest of the races.

Also im just prying there will be a expansion in a year after DoW is realeased like two races will do good.Im trying to make a mod of Abbadon Dospoiler.

[sparky]

sparky... were do you live so i can kill you? That is the most idiotic thing i've ever heard. You should look a little into what the developers have said about this game before you post and make your self look stupid :Slap:

yeah but i dont think you understand yuorself... Now i said game TYPE... like in unreal tournament were it has Death match... Invasion... CTF Etc Etc... Dont call me an idiot... and dont say you will kill me because you wont...


and im just saying... this game will get boring after afew months because of the masses of dreadnought classes and people rushing... and this game is coming out round half life 2... this game wont stand a chance whenever yous people (not everyone) act like this... I was only voicing my opinion not to be shouted at...

oh someone said that to beat dreadnoughs build more men... Let me tell you this... whenever you have 10 dreadnoughts walking into your base you havent a chance...
i was playing with my friend lastnight and 2 dreadnoughts walked into my base... Now i threw everything at them... from a warboss to mad dok with loads of boyz and they did nothing to them...

also look at this

you have 20 vehical caps and 20 squad caps... a squad takes up 2 of those squad caps and a dreadnought also takes up 2 vehical caps... a dreadnought is cheaper than a squad... even if you give your squad missile lauchers there still going to get eat'n because those missiles are nessessarly going to hit are they? but whenever the dreadnought walks into close combat... wave your sorry ass goodbye :smash:

btw... its a game that hasnt come out yet... the threats arent taken light'y from me... dont threat'n me Keslov... come say it to my face and we will see how much of a man you are if your going to be like this....

and i was only voicing my opinions... arent i allowed to do that?

[Keslov]

only if you spell check and make what you were trying to voice clear. From what i read there i figured you were just another 1 of those morons complaining about the game not being a TT conversion. Also for the caps bit i would like to meet the person who has a machine who can handle 100 dreadnoughts handing out an @$$ beating.

[Noir]

I think you two are taking this arguement a lllliiiiiitttttttllllllleeeee too far...

[peer]

Can everyone stop acting so badass and keep it civil please

[Lord Dante]

How can u compare HL2 to DoW - thats like comparing Street Fighter 2 with grand turismo.

they are completely different games.

[sparky]

Come on its a pc game... and it will be the best game out... everyone is wanting to get it... if this game turns out to be a dreadnought spree or rush techniques then hl2 will be played more

sorry - did my brain just explode in shower of stupidity related rubbish?

u cannot compare an RTS game to a FPS.

ppl are into different games. if i want some FPS action at the moment, I play Doom 3, and then i play DoW for my RTS fix.

Dont compare what cannot be compared - just saying they are 'PC' games is one of dumbest things ive ever heard.

[Kingslayer]

well as long as we are gonna be asinine i have no problems saying that hl2 will suck.

Because all fps games suck (in this thread we are replacing facts with opinions).

sparky, If you cannot stop dreads, the issue could be:

1. you are new

2. You are terrible

3. you are new AND terrible


Dreads are tough, but far from unstoppable. AND while he was making these 10 dreads, what were you doing?

[MoleUK]

Yeah dreads aint too hard to take down, rockets take em down quick and lascannons even quicker.
Anyway, you might see more game types in an expansion or more likely in a mod. The game is supposed to be very moddable so should make its lifespan a bit longer :).
Anyway if you think about it, just picking your troops and fighting would make for extremely short games.

[jeffLebowski]

i figured you were just another 1 of those morons complaining about the game not being a TT conversion.

that's my job on this board, dammit. :werd:

base building = lame.
resource gathering = lame.
tech trees = lame.

[insanity]

lol this game is completely different from half life 2 so it'll have no effect on it, as somebody already said different genres attract different people

[MoleUK]

Yep, though I will be buying HL2 as well. Got both on pre-order, can't go wrong with DoW only being 17.99 odd.

[DougyM]

so while your enemy has spent an hour upgrading his base to dreadnought level and then build 10 of them (requiring all sqaud cap researches)

what where you doing?


i just played a 3v3 in wich it took me and my allies 3 armies combined

Me: 4 dreads, 2 marine squads with librarian and FC, 2 assualt squads, 3 terminator squads, 2 land raiders
Ally: 2 fire prisms, 3 grav tanks, 2 vipers, 4 guardian squads + eldar boss guys, 1 avatar
Ally2: 3 dreads 5 marine squads with FC and librarian, 2 whirwinds 2 land raiders

to get through One of our enemies defences and army.

then we had to constantly reinforce and drop in new squads to keep our army moving.

after 2 enemy bases fell and we prepared to assualt the last one what we had left was

2 land raiders 3 dreads 1 space marine squad 2 teminators 4 rangers and a grav tank.

So, in conclusion you must be doing something wrong if you cant even kill 2 dreads.

HL2 vs Dawn of War

HL2 vs Dawn of War

Chalk vs Cheese

I agree.

hell im getting RTW (rts god) and im still getting DOW for sure becuase they are completely different games regardless of the similar genre.

[TotalBiscuit]

Doom3 vs A Lettuce.

Discuss.

I heard the lettuce was pretty scary and that doom 3 would not scare someone who is green :P

What he said is the reason for all RTS games to have unit caps. You simply can only have a certain number of units running around before even the fastest computer will start to lag up big time.

Even ancient games like SC will lag if you get enough units on screen.
