Looks good, I think.
No gameplay - shame. That trailer was quite scary, though. Who were the 'theirs' at the end?
There are some screenies up on EuroGamer, and it does look like fun. Basically, if it's the same only prettier, I'll be happy.

Aye. I did like the bit of menace involved, but, ho hum, I guess I'll have to kick start and cajole computer into making it ork......
From what I've read it's going to take some pretty serious hardware to run at high levels.

Hmmm, maybe... no! Not the 'nids!

Well, as the Tyranids are the only race not featured in DoW....


Cool Howling Banshees though... even though they got owned by Assault marines and a Furioso type Dreadnought.
I have this now!

IN THE FORTY FIRST MILLENIUM, THERE IS ONLY WAR... AND A TEDIOUS PATCHING PROCESS.

Seriously, it was a fucking cock to get running. From a fresh Windows 7 install:
  • Put CD in
  • Install Steam (5min)
  • Reset Steam password (15min, but mostly my fault)
  • Let Steam install game (30min!)
  • Let Steam patch game (10min)
  • Wait for Steam to finish
  • Notice Steam seems to be stuck in a loop
  • Reboot
  • Start game, sign into Games for Windows Live
  • Accept mandatory Live update
  • Go to cook tea. Come back to find PC back on desktop. Load game.
  • Accept mandatory Live update
  • Sign in! Woo! Exchange message with Kalmar.
  • Play game!

I wasn't giving it my full attention but this process took over two hours from end to end.

It seems good, but I am finding it a bit overwhelming so far. Two missions and an hour in and I'm already balancing cover, map layout, four types of unit, and a half-dozen unit special abilities. And by "balancing" I mean "not using correctly". But! Co-op throughout! Yay!

Also, it doesn't run that well on my Macbook Pro. I ran the performance checker and even at 1280x800 it turned a whole bunch of stuff down to Low/Medium. Still, if some complicated scams work out, I might be getting a badass PC soon.
Good man. I got it last week.

I spammed out some Steam friend invites but not to you. What is your ID? I am RichardGaywood.

We're all playing Sims 3 now.
