Not yet. I'll have a look for that though. :up:
If Relic combined the Dawn of War theatres with the gameplay of their other RTS franchise (Company of Heroes) - I think we'd be seeing strategy nirvana.....
I've added the link to my previous post.
I'm a big fan of company of heroes, and I agree if you were to combine the two, it would be something rather special!

Bloody hell - that Deathwing looks even better! Something that an Oculus Rift would be really well suited for.
Since a plastic marine probably now costs £20 and younger games are less likely to leave the house to go to a shop, getting on PC and console is their best move really.

Really hope they bring back the base building from DOW1. Much as I enjoyed the squad / wargear from DOW2, I did miss building a f*ck off base, loaded up with turrets and mounting a fixed defence in skirmish mode.

Base building is an RTS given. It should be a core requirement of every worthy game in the genre.
There's little better than just about fending off the attackers in the early phase and continuing to hold them off as your base gets bigger and stronger. Ultimately, you create a powerhouse from which to deploy your units and take the fight to them.
Likewise, finding the weak areas of an opposing base is just as rewarding. That breakthrough section into which your forces can rush in and create allsorts of havoc.

Dawn of War I - Into the Breach skirmish map making an absolute kill-zone of the central canyon and sitting it out for ages. Happy days.
This is making me miss having a pc and playing rts. Used to love C&C and DoW games

Hmm been toying with the idea of getting a PC again, loved DoW so much, this could tip me over the edge...
Only thing that's annoying is we have terrible internet connection so all these new games that require huge updates would be rather annoying
Maybe will dig out the old shuttle pc that's boxed up in the garage and fire up some DoW and C&C Generals again

Chaps - not sure if you're aware, but if you're used to the console, TV and sofa setup - there's a brilliant device for the PC called Steam Link
http://store.steampowered.com/app/353380/
It's a small device - less than a DVD case in size and sits between your TV and router. Use it to connect a HDMI lead to your TV and a network cable to your router - then fire up Steam on your PC, wherever that is in the house.
They actively seek each other out - and simply need a PIN code for each device to sync. Once done, you can control, access and play the entire Steam library on your PC from the comfort of sofa - it transfers the image from the PC straight to the TV. The Steam Link box has three USB ports on it - I simply attach my 360 pad to it and away I go. I've also tried keyboard and mouse into it too and that works fine - though I'd rather sit at my PC anyway, if I was playing a game that needed those.

Bye bye free-time.
I am so upset this isn't coming to consoles - I LOVED the original. Dark Crusade was such a great concept at the time.
I always wanted to be able to customise my army and units more though like you can with the models (both visually, lore wise and upgrades/loadouts). Will you be able to do anything like this with the latest installment?
This is the type of game I would be happy to watch others play - to my shame I often watched pro vids of Supreme Commander 1 and 2 online as my PC couldn't hack them!

Time to come to the Master Race..... :smilingimp:
Tempting! But I am getting married and I've just bought a new car so not feeling that my mrs wouldn't want to stab me if I did! In the long term I want to get a good 4K monitor and use that for a gaming PC and a new Xbox Scorpio...although I don't think I'll have time to use either!

I'm sure she'd understand - keeping you happy and all that :wink:.
I'll be intrigued to see what direction DoW3 takes. I really liked DoW2 in particular- so just a follow up of that would be good enough. Any new features or game modes would clearly be nice too.
I didn't play DOW2 but I think my ideal game would be the first one, with larger maps / more units, a continuation of the whole meta-campaign idea and more customisation options for veterans. In the first one, you could only upgrade your commander but it would be good if you 'won' upgrades for winning a match and you could decide what it was and apply it to different veteran units. Also more unique abilities and units for each commander would be cool. This is something they've implemented and balanced well with Halo Wars 2 - so when playing cooperatively you have different strengths and weaknesses to exploit.

Base building makes an RTS for me. It seems to have fallen a bit out of favour recently - instead having the players rely on powerful individual units.
Yep, the Company of Heroes effect - great game, but it split the genre.
For me I think Red Alert 2 was the apex of the RTS genre - you could be a base builder, but you had to be aggressive with certain scenarios as well, not just turtle and deploy a swarm of tesla/prism tanks to beat your enemy.
