I HATE IT! I'TS NOT GOING TO COME OUT FOR FOREVER!!! DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!

[Haraio [MALAL]]

Wow! I definately need to get a new pc. That looks like it's gonna be freakin' awesome! And I love the graphics!

[hivemindofpower]

DOW 2 comeing out . Please let there be tyranids, please, please, please.

[Haraio [MALAL]]

Well, it's still about one year until it comes out, so I think you would get tired if you are gonna chant "Tyranids please" until then ;D

[niddy]

seems like a bit of a dodgy time for it to come out because of new dexes and possibly new models. if this is gonna come next year then hopefully they have got their head around new model deigns mabey?

[T Spear_Chucker]

I pray that I don't need a $2000 computer to run this on acceptable graphics. My comp can run medium-end graphics on medium-high and high-end graphics on low. However, the medium-end graphics look much better. I hope DOW2 doesn't require me to buy a $2000 computer...

[The Hive Mind]

It looks so awesome! I hope it comes out on 360 too, because if Halo Wars works I reckon it will give it a run for its money! Love the new graphics btw.

[Haraio [MALAL]]

The new graphics look truly awesome, but I guess that means I'll have to invest in a new monster pc to be able to play it satisfactory^^

[krakenfiend]

I'm pretty stoked about this....BUT....don't get your hopes up about nids guys....Unless they are really doing some crazy stuff....I doubt they will have nids (though SCII has TONS of zerg).....much like you guys have already said.....I hope I don't need a ridiculous comp to run it (*prays to will of hive mind*)

normally as it comes out next year there will already be alla the faction from the previou dawn of war extension: tau, eldars, necrons, black, eldars, space marins, imperial, guards, chaos, orks and sisters of battle and ... the nids are suposed to come like said a rumour from the thq studio but rumours are rumours so lets wait and see if its true

Long live the great devourer

[Psychodrake]

Nids seemed a popular request from fans, so hopefully they listened and tweaked the engine a bit. Plus, I doubt any nid would be any harder than the bloodthirster to model and animate?

[Haraio [MALAL]]

The thing is, as I understood it, that the Nids would simply be too hard to get into the first Dawn of War game. Think about this: Orks are already a massive horde army, and if you have eight Ork armies facing eachother that's a lot of bodies on the field. And Tyranids will have to be even more horde-y than Orks, since they are weaker individually. So many units would seriously clutter up movement, so that's why I think they are waiting with the Nids. I would rather that they wait a bit and do the Nids justice, rather than slapping together a poor Tyranid army ^_^

[Psychodrake]

Yeah point taken, it would definitely be difficult to implement them with the current engine. I can't see how they would do bio-morphs etc.

[Haraio [MALAL]]

Yeah, I hope they really do the Biomorphs justice. Here's what I'm hoping for as upgrades for the Carnifex:

Two pairs of scything talons as standard

Possible Weapon upgrades (chosen like the Space Marine squad)
Venom Cannon - Anti Tank
Devourer - Anti infantry
Deathspitter - Anti heavy infantry, small area of effect
Barbed Strangler - Anti infantry and heavy infantry, large area of effect, slows enemies
Crushing claws - Increased close combat damage

Biomorphs:

Tusked - Increased melee damage
Enhanced senses - increased ranged damage
Mace tail - Increased melee damage vs tanks, buildings
Scythe tail - Increased melee damage vs units
Regenerate - duh...
Extended carapace - Increase HP

That's what I am thinking ^_^
