Not heard much info on it, but the standard New Army plus new units for each races.

To sum it up however, the update makes kiting easier and maximizes the DPS of all units during combat by making them focus on shooting instead of running for cover etc.</p> <p><a href="http://community.dawnofwar2.com/blog-post/tuning-auto-cover-pvp-update-223" rel="nofollow">http://community.dawnofwar2.com/blog-post/tuning-auto-cover-pvp-update-223</a> </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii/page/3#post-10136 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:53:03 +0000 Nemphtis 10136@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>Hopefully they&#39;ve sorted it out by now, I had a quick skirmish against the CPU this morning before work but since mine has already installed now, it&#39;s hard to notice any server issues. </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii/page/3#post-10134 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 12:54:53 +0000 DiabloCableGuy 10134@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>Just a heads-up, the update for Chaos Rising is a monster, 2.7GB. And the Steam servers were crying last night, took me and Mus 5 hours or so to actully get onto the game. </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii/page/3#post-10123 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:28:48 +0000 Nemphtis 10123@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>I was on DoW2 yesterday, since my PC is fixed I decided to play all of my RTS games. I don&#39;t plan on picking the expansion up on launch, but I do plan on picking it up once I&#39;ve finished the original campaign in DoW2.</p> <p>You don&#39;t have to buy the expansion to get the new units for each faction and the multiplayer patch. The expansion just gives you a new campaign against Chaos, lets you use Chaos on multiplayer which is something I don&#39;t care about, and that&#39;s basically it. I&#39;m not going to play DoW2 seriously until I see some fucking Tau up in this bitch. </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii/page/3#post-10122 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:08:21 +0000 GrimTalos 10122@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>Well Chaos Rising comes out in 24 hours and I was wondering if anybody is going to pick it up.<br /> I have only played DOW 2 for a few hours and while it was fun I am not sure I am going to pick up the expansion pack. I just dont play the game enough for me to warrent it. </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii/page/3#post-9371 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:01:16 +0000 GrimTalos 9371@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>I know I am still thinking about restarting my daemon army.

<p>Well with 12 races and a large number of sub races there is always going to be secondary races its impossiable for there not to be.<br /> Nearly every warhammer player I know collects more than 1 race so most do have a main race. The Main 40k races are Space marines,Chaos,Orks and Eldar they are the iconic races that have been there since RT days so it makes sense for them to get them in game first.<br /> They also have to look at what will sell more and there are far more Chaos players than Tau players so makes sense to add Chaos you can also do alot more with Chaos than Tau due to the number of units and sub factions within the race. It also opens alot more of the story due to the hatrid between SM and Chaos and also all the rumours of Blood Ravens being a Thousand sons successor chapter and the rumours of the blood ravens dark secret plus there love for knowledge and chaos artifacts.</p> <p><img src="http://ve3dmedia.ign.com/images/05/98/59817_DawnOfWar2ChaosRising-05.jpg"><br /> <img src="http://ve3dmedia.ign.com/images/05/98/59814_DawnOfWar2ChaosRising-02.jpg"> </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii/page/2#post-8626 Sun, 27 Sep 2009 10:42:37 +0000 Nemphtis 8626@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>It&#39;s annoying how certain factions are just an afterthought, everyone might as well just go with the main races and ignore the &#39;secondary&#39; ones. I really enjoyed using FireWarriors in DoW, I like how they had great range but had to set up their weapons before shooting, it was a trade I was willing to make since most enemies could be taken down before they could even get within range. </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii/page/2#post-8625 Sat, 26 Sep 2009 13:36:52 +0000 GrimTalos 8625@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>Cool cant wait to play as Chaos. Tau are seen as a minor race so not suprised to not see them in dow 2 yet. Maybe they will be the next race as i cant see Imperial guard fitting into the small scale warfare of dow2 although they do have orks. </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii/page/2#post-8580 Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:46:53 +0000 Nemphtis 8580@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>Who&#39;s nostrils do I have to squirt my sperm into for a playable Tau expansion?

The expansion, titled &quot;Chaos Rising&quot;, will not only allow players to continue from where the original game leaves off, it will also let players control the Chaos Space Marine faction in the title&#39;s multiplayer mode.</p> <p>The expansion is set to include a number of features: aside from offering new single-player and co-op campaigns, the level cap will increase from 20 to 30, and players will have access to &quot;more powerful war-gear and a suite of innovative multiplayer options.&quot; Some of the aforementioned war gear will be extremely powerful, though tainted by the aspects of Chaos, and players can equip these items at the risk of &quot;dreadful consequences.&quot;</p> <p>Players will have the option to either load their old save games in order to extend the story, or start the expansion&#39;s plot with a pre-made, powerful squad. The expansion is set to receive an in-depth preview in the next issue of PC Gamer, due out in stores next month, so hopefully information like a release date and price point will be revealed then.</blockquote> </p> http://www.zetzio.com/community/topic/dawn-of-war-ii#post-7017 Wed, 06 May 2009 08:10:43 +0000 GrimTalos 7017@http://www.zetzio.com/community/ <p>Just found this video of DOW 2.

It's a great feature for me because i hate signing up for Gamespy accounts and shit when i want to play these games online.
