There is Only War, DoW2 patch

Announcing the Dawn of War II 'There is Only War' Update

This summer, Dawn of War II is going to receive a major update that adds tremendous value to the multiplayer experience through new features, major balance improvements, and new content.

A New Observer Feature

New Observer and Referee options let you watch custom multiplayer games as a spectator. With this new perspective, the Observer can easily monitor the entire battle with a detailed look at the status of all players. Gamereplays.org will release an exclusive first look at this new feature on their site on Friday, June 19th.

PvP Balance and Open Beta

As promised, 'There is Only War' brings a significant balance update to Dawn of War II's multiplayer game. We have re-tuned many units, added new abilities, and fixed many bugs and exploits. For more information, stay tuned to this blog for exclusive Dawn of War II Developer Battle Reports that showcase the new multiplayer changes for all four races.

Get an early look at this update with an open beta that goes live in early July for all Dawn of War II owners. Throughout the beta, we'll be gathering community feedback to help ensure 'There is Only War' is the best update yet. Details about how to join the beta will be released in the coming weeks.

New PvP Maps

'There is Only War' adds 8 new multiplayer maps bringing the total map count to 18.

... Damn man the observer mode is bloody useless.. Why can't they do observer mode for AUTO matches?sSubZerOo

beacose not everyone want's other people to look at his game

the feature is exelent for gamecasters (beacose all of thiss will be also applyed to replays) and it's great for tournaments and live streams of tournaments, like what gamereplays did with one Red Alert 3 tornament. The ability to see what the other guy is building without having to look at his base is priceless in situations like that

Fixed that for ya ;)

And the SP isn't an RTS or an RTT, it's basicly just an Strategic RPG. A Really good one though :D

MP is RTS beacose it involves unit building and resource collecting, RTTs don't have these 2 things

What is an RTT?
