E:TW vs. DoW 2 THE SHOWDOWN (poll)

Based on features, scale, gameplay, story, everything. Take your pick.

One note. E:TW will have an online campaign, the beta for it comes out this month.

I havnt played enough of Empire Total War yet to say which i enjoy more.

Before both games where out i thought i was goign to enjoy Empire Total War ALOT more then Dawn OF War2. But the Dawn Of War2 singleplayer/coop campaign is awesome and so much fun! Im not HUGE on strategy games online in versus mode, but its fun aswell.

End of the weekend i should have reviews for both games done!

So far though Dawn Of War 2 = 9/10

Only played 1 hour of Rome Total War but it looks to be a 9 or 9.5/10 so far aswell (ill have a final score once i get more time with it).

Both two amazing games imo! And the two best games this year so far! (Yes i got Killzone 2 and Dawn Of War2 and Empire Total War i enjoy more).

I haven't played Total War so i'm going to say Dawn of War 2.

I know it's biased.

I don't know, I got E:Tw through some "funny sources" today since I couldn't wait to the 10th (getting money that day) to buy the game (I will still buy the game the first chance I get so don't flame me, i am just impatient -.-)

the thing is I am just not feeling it. It's missing something, maybe I am just to spoiled by the fast brutal microintensive combat DoW2 delivers, but E:TW just didn't invoke the "zomg amazing" like all TW games before did...

something is missing and I can't realy describe it. Well maybe I am just not in the mood for the slow combat E:TW presents, will try playing some more maybe it will click, I hope it will

oh and the cover system in E:TW feels like a thing thrown into the game in the last minute, kinda not fully fleeshed out and subpar compared to CoH or DoW2 cover system

ETW is rocking pretty hard. I already stopped playing DoW2 because I didnt really care for it which is crazy considering I loved the older one. The battles in ETW are just freaking epic. The numbers, the reloading and being slaughtered, so ******* awesome man. Then you have to deal with the overmap and diplomacy and stuff. So far it crushes DoW2 in depth and strategy/tactics.

Haven't got Empire yet, I'll probably like it more though. Dawn of War II needs that DLC, fast.

Though, Dawn of War II is the better "RTS". At least, it's more of an RTS than Empire.

I loved Shogun and theold Medieval but could never get into the newer Total War games. Empire seems to have completly changed that, been playing it all day.

Empire.

E:TW for me. I thought DoW2 was great for the first half of the campaign, then it really started to drop off. Playing the maps again and again and no diversity in the missions. You start in a corner and go to the opposite corner and fight a level boss.

I thought DoW2 was ok, and I like they they are trying something new and fresh, but E:TW is so far shaping up to be the best TW game yet so far (for me), even beating out the old TW:M1 (my old favorite).

well to be fair Total Wars "rout everyone" isn't the height of diversity either...

Where's the competition?!

DOW2 is good, but Empire blows it out of the water completely.
