Imagine 2 squads chasing each other in circles around a tree. Replace tree with control point, and you have Dawn of War 2 | ||

Replace tree with control point, and you have Dawn of War 2 This is a very flawed view of the game. You could say that about SC2 too: Imagine 2 army blobs chasing each other in circles around a hill, you have SC2. DoW2 capping/decapping is similar to CoH. | ||

DoW 1 was a million miles better, and that itself pales in comparison to StarCraft. I played DoW1 for years and I gave up DoW2 3 weeks after it came out. It is actually the worst game I have ever played and I say that as a long time PC gamer, a fan of the franchise and a fan/player of Warhammer 40k. I can confirm that reric were a bunch of fruiting kermits when it came to making DoW2. | ||

There are tons of far worse games, perhaps you took the approach that many players took was because there was more strategy involved in the 2nd game that it isn't nearly as good as DOW1. The matches don't reach that level of epicness that often anymore, but when they do it makes them all the more sweeter. | ||

And after a while it was very hard to find a multipalyer game so I eventually stoped trying theres a steam group called L2P dawn of war 2. they often have open lobbies with a player named Codex who knows the game like the back of his hand. He tells players a ton of information which makes them fairly competitive regardless of gametime played. And sadly finding a multiplayer game is still rather difficult because players are afraid of that learning curve. I'd recommend giving that a shot if you are even remotely interested in the multiplayer. | ||

Nice subtle insult 2. Bullshit And yes the worst game that I've ever played. DoW1 was the first multiplayer game that I played and I played it for 5 years. I had massive expectations for DoW2 and what I got made me want to vomit. The campaign was good, the multiplayer was criminal. There may be worse games out there, I'm sure there are. However DoW2 is the worst that I personally have played. | ||

But I also liked WC3 and AoX more than BW and Diablo 1 more than Diablo 2. SC2 and D3 are complete and utter garbage in my eyes. Guess I just like different kinds of games to the majority of people... | ||

The only thing that killed it for me when it came out was GFWL bullshit. Later on playerbase just wasn't big enough. Same for me. But my problem was the imbalance the few first months (and mind you, i played nids, so i wasn't exactly in the short end of the stick). I just got bored eventually and never looked back. Maybe today it's an awesome game, but i can't be bothered since i don't have the expansions. Btw Manitou i want to kill matt ward for the latest high elves army book :d | ||

I dunno. Personally I don't think that RTT-games are as viewer friendly or, for lack of a better word, "e-sports-friendly", which is why I think it's gotten so little recognition as a competitive game. But that's just my opinion, it's not facts by any stretch of the imagination. I'm not saying this to bash on you or your thread by the way, there are plenty of games that I feel are about as good as DoW2, but still get a lot more viewers and a more active scene than DoW2 seems to have. Sorry if my post read as being condescending or anything, it's just we're all different when it comes to games I guess. EDIT: The above poster also raises a good point. If they would've made DoW2 into a separate title instead of as a sequel, it should at the very least have been looked at with less hate by fans of the original. As a fan of the older Fallout games it would be similar to how Fallout: Tactics works out. It's in the same universe, but it's very different in how it's played. I don't much care for it, but it's sort of a spin-off, so it doesn't really bother me either. However, when Fallout 3 came out, branded as the sequel to Fallout 2, I was not happy. | ||

with chaos rising and to some extent retribution it got a lot better and a lot more balanced, but without any support (no prizemoney tournaments) it was just there to slowly die. atm i can´t find a game at my mmr at all under 10 mins, rofl... | ||

Elite mod is fairly populated and i can usually find a match in under 5 minutes almost always. Elite Mod also balanced out a ton of problems in the vanilla retribution and as for the no tournaments, there were 2 last month alone. i participated in one. | ||
