Dawn of War 2

[Rise-the-Sky]

è bello giocarci in solo o ne vale la pena solo se giocato in multy?

Sono 2 giochi molto differenti.
Il single è molto + innovativo del multi. Merita di essere giocato? Si.
Però al momento è 'abbastanza' corto.
A livello di 'promesse' il single player dovrebbe ricevere altre 3 campagne for free (ora esiste solo quella SM) nei prossimi mesi che lo renderebbero ben oltre la media come durata.
La rigiocabilità non è molto elevata...diciamo che se ti è piaciuto magari lo rigiochi 1 volta per provare un setup opposto a quello che hai usato la prima volta.

Diciamo che se sei il tipo da 1 gioco al mese di media (o +) ci sta dentro.
Se invece i giochi devono durarti ben di + allora cerca altro.

d'altro canto il MP è diversissimo dal 90% degli altri titoli, quindi ha virtualmente una durata molto lunga, considerando anche il passato di espansioni per il primo dow.

[Goram]

cosa vuol dire soka come coh lol.
Coh in multi è figo, così come lo sarà dow 2.

Mi riferisco al fatto di come erano gestiti i server , non al gioco in se che trovo stupendo.
Spesso per fare un match ci volevano 2 ore .

Coh e Dow1 si appoggiavano alla rete di Gamespy (meglio conosciuto come Gayspy) che faceva VERAMENTE merda, ma tanto

Dow2 usa games for windows live che è nettamente meglio, partono 3v3 automatch anche alle 6 di mattina e ci sono molti meno problemi in generale, anche se si sente un po' la mancanza della lobby :\

Sto farmando punti per sbloccare l'obiettivo Legenda, e cazzarola mi manca 1 risorsa strategica su calderis per sbloccare il penultimo obiettivo ç_ç

[Jesper]

lol

perdonate la niubbanza, ma a che servono gli obbiettivi sbloccati a parte per banfare?

[Ercos]

niente bisogna solo banfare, come tutte le cazzatine plus che mettono nei giochi

[Ercos]

Nuuu che pakko non mi ha dato l'obiettivo che ho finito la campagna sp

Cmq sto provando il multy ed è una figata, per adesso mi sto trovando abbastanza bene con gli Eldar.

Per chi vuole fare una campagna coop o qualche sfida in multy mi addi su GFWL, così vi farmate isi i rank

[Ercos]

Ci sta qualcuno che gioca in multi?

[Ercos]

Puttana vacca, hanno patchato e alcune cose sono state bilanciate finalmente, mentre altre le hanno stravolte.

Mi hanno triturato in multi giusto ora che stavo cominciando ad acquisire sicurezza

Che dire, una patch colossale, che migliora, aggiunge e modifica il gioco.
Le novità più rilevanti.

New Content
• Two on Two game mode is now available for ranked play.

Direi che non c'è bisogno di spiegazioni

• There are eight new sync kill animations in the game. Keep your eyes open for some new carnage!

Sembra fico, non vedo l'ora di vederle in azione

UI Change
• The previous PvP squad decorators have been replaced with decorators based on the squad role. The new decorators identify units in a way that is consistent across races. A new loading screen tip has been added to explain the new images.

Aggiunti dei nuovi indicatori per le unità, ora sono più facilmente riconoscibili il ruolo e l'equipaggiamento che hanno e non bisognerà più guardare le armi che stanno impugnando.

Replay Improvements
• Added a 4x speed.
• Capture progress bars are now visible.
• Commander wargear and squad upgrades are now visible on unit selection panel.
• Build queues are now displayed.
• Replay control buttons now have audio.
• Decorators now show up in replays.

Richieste degli utenti esauidite da parte di Relic che ora permette una migliore consapevolezza di gioco quando si guardano i replay.

Gameplay Bug Fixes
• Squads now unload from a vehicle when it is destroyed.

Cambiamento molto importante nelle maccaniche di gioco, ora i trasporti saranno usati anche per trasportare le unità e non solo come mitragliatrici mobili.
Avrei preferito comunque che ci fosse una certa percentuale di morte/sopravvivenza delle unità contenute all'interno come nel gioco da tavolo, se prima le unità non venivano quasi mai messe all'interno dei veicoli per paura di perderle by esplosione veicolo, ora si potrebbe vedere la situazione contraria.

• Put a build time on Ravener Tunnels. Tunnels are also vulnerable during construction.

Ecco il tanto sospirato e atteso nerf del Ravener che coi suoi tunnel a trasporto istantaneo è diventato una piaga nelle partite multigiocatore.

In-Game HUD and UI
• Added a Retreat All hotkey. (ALT-X)
• Added a Retreat Hero hotkey. (SHIFT-X)

Utilissimi nel marasma generale dove perdere tempo per targhettare le unità singorlamente e farle ripiegare può essere decisivo per le sorti dello scontro.




Per adesso Relic si sta impegnando molto nel bilanciamento e nel accogliere le critiche/consigli dei giocatori, speriamo che anche in futuro rilascino patch così importanti e che continuino anche con le future espansioni.
