It's a severely gimped CoH with a WH40k reskin. Yes, that is BAD. The things that made CoH amazing (and still do) are completely missing in DoW2.

Hurray for haters? If you listen to those guys... well you won't ever get any games. Positive feedback is never posted, however hell oh hell do people like to whine.

It's a great game, go get it, im looking forward to have faster matchmaking!

Been looking forward to trying this myself, especially after hearing all the hate. I wasn't a huge fan of CoH but I loved the original DoW.

Isn't that the game that's a Rip-Off of Blizzard's Starcraft + Warcraft?

No.. Both are unique universes.. With interesting aspects.. Though i would have to say Warhammer 40k is far more original, but both draw heavily off of novels like Starship Troopers.

As sSubz stated. They are both taken from something else. Warhammer 40k made an RTS. Than a company (forget name) created Warcraft ONE. Followed by Warcraft two then Starcraft. The first 3-D RTS of the like-mind you. Blizzard is a accumilation of a group. It's not their original name. In any case Blizzard has been working and setting the standard for games of the sort. They were also the first company to implement Map Editor into their games. Which became a standard. Warhammer has JUSTNOW caught up with the times. And have stolen (not lore) what blizzard had built. Or should I say "borrowed' Including the UI and Map indicator design as well. Just a thought. If you want more proof. Google is your friend.

Been playing it for the past week, and it rocks. If you've played CoH and are good at it, then you'll feel right at home with DoW2, although there is significantly more micro.

More micro than CoH? I seriously doubt that. Have you seen any CoH replays?

God I wish I could get good at CoH. I can't get good at these RTS games because there is so much to keep track of, but CoH is definately my favorite. Any advice on learning how to play RTS's (specifically CoH)?

Usually there are so many battles going on at once and I get overwhelmed. I can't keep track of all of them so my brain shuts down. I don't feel confident about the units I choose and I usually get steamrolled in every battle. There are so many different tactics to remember and I end up forgetting them all.

You might want to play CoH on easy against 1 A.I. only if that's where your problems are. Also, in CoH, there is a lot of "this is the situation, you have 5 seconds to respond or you're steamrolled" type battles. Don't draw out complex plans unless you have the time for it (in CoH, you rarely do).
