Dawn of War 2 = a reskinned Company of Heroes. AND THAT’S OK.
You lay down your automatic weapons ready to cross-fire, deploy your artillery just behind them and move your assault troops forward to begin the attack outright. Along the way you’ll keep your boys moving from cover to cover and equip various weapons with which to fight off the hordes of baddies.
Company of Heroes, right? Wrong! Though you’d be forgiven for thinking that the following gameplay footage from Dawn of War 2 was in fact from a CoH mod.
My point, though, is not to call Relic lazy or belittle their upcoming game. In fact, as someone who played CoH before playing DoW, I’m all for it. I often admit to being a bit of a WWII lover, but even I can’t see any bad side to taking Company of Heroes - in my opinion the greatest RTS ever made - and 40k-ifying it. It won’t be just bullets flying around your stereo headset in early 2009, but all sorts of lasers and other mystical, lore-filled things. And that can only be a good thing.
