    I'm disappointed that you can't play as a Techmarine or Warlock... Why Just those 3 race/class combo's? Also, new class opportunities: Librarian, Chaplain, Wierdboy, Mad Dok, and Harelquins. Please make these happen, Relic, and I will love you.

    Why are we calling it DLC? isn't more like a patch? or whatever we used to call these updates on the PC before consoles started trying to nickel and dime anything they could.

    Anyways this is pretty cool. I bought it when it first came out but havent played much since. Maybe il start up again

    @SFLegend: k rep: It's DLC. It's adding content and you have to download it. If it was a patch it would be fixing something. A patch might accompany it but the new content is DLC.

    @-MasterDex-: DLC is an extra piece of content whereas this comes with a patch. Content Patch is the appropriate term.

    Sounds good, I just picked up this game today in the THQ pack on sale at Steam. Looking forward to the game. From everything I've heard and tried it's almost as much RPG as RTS, and I can't decide which genre I love more.

    There were missions originally in the game with NPC guardsmen running around. Same as with DoW really, they're there but it doesn't mean they're playable (yet).

    Kotaku! Get your code monkies to fix whatever is making the gallery page the default when clicking through to articles with galleries.

    Other than that this looks sort of fun. DoWII made a rather meh RTS but made a decent enough RPG.

    @mbk337: The other solution is to simply remove /gallery from the end of the URL (which is what I did). It still doesn't change that their page linking is bugged. =P

    Dawn of War II is phenomenal. I love me some base-building, but this is a different sort of RTS that just nails it. If there were more varied maps and missions, more campaign races and planets, we'd be talking about a GOTY contender.


    As it stands, it's a great mix of Company of Heroes and Diablo/Dungeon Siege.

    I have yet to struggle to do every single mission offered, including the ones with x number of day limits, and all the optional ones.


    I'm on day 31 on Primach difficulty on Typhon - The last story mission I have is, well, the last one.


    Biggest issue I have is the fact that the game is about as stable as a penny balanced on a needle tip, held by someone with parkinsons.


    Multiplayer is a blast, though. Farseer forever!
