  • DOW II wohl unterwegs

    Hi,
    Dow II steht wohl kurz vor der Ankündigung. Ein belgische Magazin wird in der April-Ausgabe die Bombe platzen lassen:

    - Uses the Essence 2.0 engine with Havok physics, all optimised for DX10 and multicore support.
    - It looks great, think of the DoW intro but with a bit less polygons here and there (in terms of lighting and all that it looks almost exactly the same).
    - Units also use CoH-like unit AI for awareness and pathfinding to find cover and such.
    - While DoW 2 shares the same (upgraded probably) engine as CoH it won't be "CoH in space", while soldiers in CoH will ask themselves if flanking the enemy is the right option, in DoW2 it will be more like Space Marines asking themselves if they should use their jetpacks to jump over an Ork squad to attack them in the back. Different settings, different kinds of warfare.
    - Preview only showed a destroyed city landscape, akin to DoW (but more detailed), other tilesets will offer deserts, jungles, mountains and other cities.
    - Only the Orkz and Space Marines were revealed, more races on the way obviously and to be to revealed later this year (though how many isn't known).
    - Co-op campaign for both the Orkz and Space Marines, apparently not for the other to-be-revealed races.
    - More focus on making units and squads unique; every unit has got a name (at least in the campaign it seems), more details and more animations.
    - Relic wants to give players rewards at the end of a mission like wargear (armor, weapons, rare objects); "Let's pimp out squads with cool stuff!", you will see these items in-game as well of course.
    - You'll fight your way through the campaign with the same squads.
    - You can't control more than six squads! I am not sure if this is campaign-only but the preview made it sound like it wasn't.
    - The squads are going to be a lot more interesting than before though.
    - A squad leader (one or several?) will need to survive if you want to complete a mission; you really have to look out for your squads and don't treat them like cannon fodder.
    - There is a lot more interesting commentary from the units as well; if your SM commander is holding a Thunder Hammer f.e. then the opponent will specifically comment on that, Ork Warchief saying something like "Ooh, nice hammer, but mine is bigger!". The warchief will say something else if the commander doesn't have the hammer.
    - The campaign lets Space Marines operate from a spaceship, you'll get a view of an underlying planet and you'll be able to choose from different missions (which are tagged with difficulty colours, green, blue and red).
    - Certain reward items won't be useable at once in the campaign, so they'll be taken back to the SM spaceship for research.
    - Dreadnought can now also trample Orkz.
    - No sea or air units (though jetpacks are still in of course).
    - Development team of 55 people has been working on it since September 2005.
    - Release in early 2009 or later.

    PS.: naja, hoffentlich kein April-Scherz.....

  • Ladder?

    Anscheinend ist ja auch die AM-Range Begrenzung weggefallen seit SoSt. D.h. das man als 1000er gegen nen 1600 spielen kann.

    Na da werden sich beide aber freuen. Der 1000er hat den Spielfrust und der 1600 kriegt nur +2 Punkte für nen Sieg.

    Entweder Bug, oder blödes Konzept.

  • Absturz von SS

    In Deinem Installationverzeichnis wird nach einem Crash eine Log_Datei erzeugt. Die heisst z.b: 3-11-2008_22_37_50_ErrorLog.txt

    (immer datum/zeit des absturzes) kannst ja da mal reingucken...

  • Bisherige Spielerfahrung... :/

    Jo, aber z.B. nen Raptor-Squad hat auch ne lange Buildzeit kostet aber nen paar Euro mehr und sieht trotzden keinen Stich gegen nen Mandrak.

    Außerdem wird die lange Buildzeit duch den SUPER-Capspeed wieder wett gemacht und daduch das man im early Game mit einem Builder spielen kann und dadruch keinen im HQ bauen muss.

    Naja egal, will mich noch nicht über DE-Balance aufregen...

  • Chaos vs Dark Eldar 1.0

    Kurze Frage:

    Was tuen gegen Helions + Mass Jets.

    Das Problem hierbei ist auch noch, das sich der DE nebenbei noch locker die MC holen kann, weil ich NICHTS auf T1 (ausser dem Lord) habe, das gegen Mandraks bestehen kann.

  • Online Lobby

    Katastrophe das Ganze!

    Joinen dauert ewig. Automatch kannste vergessen.

    Aber Tibermoon schrieb ja am 8.1 im Relic-Forum:

    =========
    I would highly recommend that all of you who purchase Soulstorm should try the Automatch features again, even if you're used to them being spotty in DC. Gamespy has made some updates on their end since DC came out, and we've done a lot of work on the netcode for Soulstorm as well, and the end result is that automatch is much, much healthier now.
