DoW2 Campgian? like it?

[kingin]

Hey all With new DoW now with different races campigans, I'm doin the tyranids but haven't beatien but I kinda like it and I'm also disoppointed. Was hoping for more.

What were your thoughts?

[Loplod]

This needs to go in the DoW board - Right down the bottom of the boards page.

Its shipping today... how can you be dissapointed already?

[kingin]

Well i've ben moody, cause of Migraine but I hoped the Hive Tyrant or communication between the Tyrant and Hive or Tyrant or something. Like what he's thinking or w.e.

Doesn't feel niddy, just felt like ok wipe this map, go to next wipe this one and do this one. Basiclly thats it I'm like... soo just go and kill everything, not like ok kill this race unlock these guys or this.

just little things I guess gotta keep playing.

Love the intro though of game.

I think the missions are a lttle disjointed, there's not much narrative to it and the mission are relatively simple.

I do like the new swarmlord unit though

[Talonis]

I'm enjoying it so far, and have found a great combo of units which I like using.
The only thing that annoys me is the way the Hive mind speaks to you....
"sssssooooooooo................lame.................must..... feed......"

Would have been nice if I could have used my custom army colours in campaign, but that is a minor detail

[phobos]

I totally agree with Talonis, hive mind talks like a jerk ^^, I actually think retribution is better than chaos rising, the gameplays somehow seems easier and squads "listen" you better =P

[kingfisher773]

for one, I still yet to have retribution. for 2 I need to move my games to a desktop, laptops are not made for gaming .
Have you guys played the other campaigns and is the multi player gameplay different in any way?

[3ff3ct]

Multi player is great, its all about capping points rather than just smashing stuff, so it can be very tactical.

Try one offline, its pretty fun, although the 'expert computer' is probably the same as a new player online (so not terribly difficult).

I was a bit upset that the other campaigns are recycled from the others, with only a slight variation in one or two of them. I wouldnt have mided the same maps, just having pretty much the same mission objectives too makes it a bit repetitive.

[Loplod]

The difference between bots and players is huge, Bots will always have a cheap squad running around and uncapping your points. Where players often forget and don't do it EVERY SECOND OF THE GAME.

Players focus more on combat and things I find, and bots do both things. Expert bots also fail to finish you off. You can sit in your base and accumulate resources.

They also don't defend their base, you can back door them with plasma cannon squads, or each races respective BD unit. I can take 4 expert bots at once just by defending hard and then back dooring their bases one by one, where as a player would defend their base and push for the kill
