Votes in paul, get reviewing! lol

ok ok

Just had my first proper online battle as a tech marine and did a really good job of using my tactical knoledge in a 3v3 to have lots of fun. Using my tactical squad as scouts with rocket launchers and the plasma cannon as artilery i used the old draw fire tenique so i could move my bolters up.

The ONE MOMENT in the battle that looked like it was gona go badly for me. they got there plasma and started bombarding me, charged the cunts with my tactical mariens and took out the plasmas then retreated. then as his Force comander and assauult marriens followed the squad my heavy bolters mowed them down. so i moved further up and held groud. then they started geting nasty by spaming bolters and plasma guns
i did what any boy would so and get a dreadnaught with a machine gun to shoot the shit outs them and it workerd wonders. infrantry sapm = fail.

THEN!!! i got me dreadnought, ran it through some walls. and flanked all the shity ealdars heavy weapons platfroms that had been pinning my team mates in the middle. bone half of them then a poxy fire prism came up and almost killed my dread. But clever old jack here turned my plasmas round and onesshoted it in the back.

The i got a massive infantry pushup and they had a dread of there own...so i got my specal variable dread deepstriked it onto a plasma squad. kill most of them but bot dreads were in bad shape and the other died. managed to hold out for a take hold win of 198/0 to us. was us, should have saved it!!!!

love this game online!!!.

hmm nice post jack could be nice to add along with the review paul is doing for the community myspace what do you think guys ?

Well never having played the originals and after playing DoW2 twice and loosing badly both times its clear that strategy games just aren't for me. But, I think playing it gives me the right to pass comment so here goes...

Despite not really enjoying the games I played I can see the appeal of it. I thought the graphics were good and the maps were more varied than I expected, even if it is the same sort of stuff from one to the next. There seemed to be enough playable characters to keep most people interested for a while and some good desgining on the features of each. My only regret is I would have liked to take part in a larger battle with some guidance from an experienced player to help me through it. That may have kept my interest for a little longer.

I did have a problem with one player lagging which caused everyone else in the game to lag badly - not good imo. If you lag you expect to get taken advantage of, not cause everyone else to lag with you. That would be one of the few negative comments I would have about the game.

All in all I can see why people play and I imagine if you are good at it the victories can be quite satisfying. Good luck to all those who continue to play it, but I doubt you will see me on there again.

not even for a few carnage matches?

Yeah stick it through a word processor and proff read it and it should be fine lol. was abit pissed when i wrote that .

And pete you just need to get used to it, took me ages of playing. i was playing the computor for days gardualy sticking the dificulty higher and higher. once i got confident with expert and the hero i was with i actualy found online play really fun .

Well, maybe with some more practice I could have another go for Carnage

nice one pete thats the carnage spirit you wouldn't be alone mate as i haven't got it yet and i also need a fair bit of practice to get up to speed with it but from what i've seen of the single player campain it sort of teach's you how to get to grips with it the beta didnt really do it justice in my opinion

Will join ya for a few games after I get my WAR daily quests out the way with. GIMME MY CHOPPA!
