Wasn't at EB today when I went asking after it - should be in Friday however.
Nobody buy it though. I'll be shitty if it's sold out by the time I get there.
Post 13
Went in this morning, and EB say they're not getting any copies tiill 3:30pm
I finish work and get there by 4pm, and they have already sold EVERY copy they have, and only had FOUR limited edition boxes left. So I grabbed one of those, and am now the proud owner of a DoW shirt and mousepad.
If you miss out, apparently they get more in next tuesday or wednesday.

Ohh...is the shirt and mouse pad sexy?

Do you get to play the campaign modes for all four races?
Caus space marines is a bit cliche'
Post 21
nup only the marines have a campaign, because they wanted the story to be indepth, and have twists and turns or something, so they didnt have time to make another 3 of them :)
Post 22
Well thats lame.
I got up to the level where your mission is to stop the ritual aka kill the bloodthirster.
I have a feeling thats the last mission....i want more campaign modes dammit :(
Mind you, the story line is pretty decent, but Inquisitor Toth's voice shits me to tears.
Oh yeh, i also killed the Eldar Avatar with my defense Turrets :cool:
Post 23
naa you got a few more to go Mil
But tis a very good story line
Post 24
would the style of killing be abit like warcraft 3?? or is it way different?? and also what game would this be near the same as??
Post 25
Um, its completely different to WC3 man...its similar in the fact it's an RTS, but thatr's about it.
Post 26
It's different, for sure.
The squad combat reminds me of Kohan, but thats probably because it's the main game I've played with squads (the Kohan squad system differs).
The resource system is kinda like TA, but access to Requisition points is constrained by the map (yes, I know there were metal patches, but in TA that just meant you built fusions and moho metal makers). Kohan again makes it as similar with its ZOP constraint, but that's purely a space limitation.
You may have guessed it, but the game Dawn of War most closely reminds me of is Kohan - even though it isn't really that similar in mechanics.
Should be fun to play it multi though :)
