So I recently pulled out a game I've owned for a while yet never really played too much before: Warhammer 40k - Dawn of War. With the recent release of DoW 2, I got into the spirit and started playing it again and man, I'm really diggin it!

Anyone here still play the original or has everyone moved onto the sequel?

DoW 1 is the better, deeper game. Dawn of War 2 is boring. Omg, one of my soldiers is EXPOSED! RETREAT BACK TO BASE AND REPEAT! Seriously is this Warhammer?

I actually fixed my long broken version of the game this week. You can't compare it to DoW 2 because they are such different games.

Dawn of War and its expansions were great games and I still play it from time to time. However, DoW2 sucks. It just does. I quit that stupid game about 2 weeks after I bought it and haven't regretted it since. I have no idea why they took a sudden 180 from such an amazing game and a genre they were good at. If I wanted to play a small tactics game I would get World in Conflict which is better than DoW2 in every category.

My thoughts exactly, Wahammer is all about big badass world-consuming battles. What it is not about is tiny squad based tactics, why should a you the commander be bothered about ONE soldier, it's just boring and the lack of content is really quite insulting compared to Dawn of War I. And you can't really say the A.I or morale system is any better because when you get one or two good mods for Dawn of War I you'll find it's far deeper and far truer to the source than it's bigger brother which is nothing more than a sci-fi version of Company of Heroes with a few RTS elements thrown in just for laughs.
