It's a great game anyway you should try the demo first. And there're people still play it on-line.

Well its fun and hectic, but i would say if you played warcraft 3, or something like ground control and liked that then yes. This game is about more holding out some territory than it is completing objectives. And yes there is plenty of people to fight online, not matter which version of DoW you play

I found COH to be alot better and more tactical, Dawn of War has the same style Ui and thta but it's more about just rushing.

Yes, DOW is like starcraft in that the person with the more units wins.

lol DoW is much more tactical than Starcraft, just as CoH is.  Starcraft and other older RTS's focus more on economy and strategic macro.  Yes, if you like CoH, you will like DoW.  The mechanics are slightly more simple than CoH, a little more like a traditional RTS, but with 3 times as many factions (if you have the full game + expansions) and an awesome scifi theme.  I would personally recommend getting the regular game first, then if you like that get the DC expansion.  Basically if you love CoH and are looking for a new RTS, you absolutely can't pass DoW bye.  From what I've heard it currently has the largest online community of any RTS.

The only RTS on the market that beats DoW is CoH.
