Hmmm. We will wait and see, eh Sir????

ARE YOU READY?????

Not enough skulls in that picture.

nice couch.

any money. Tyranids vs Spase Marinez!!!11!!!!

It can't be anything Warhammer related... He doesn't have a hand raised up in the air or anything. Thought he might be screaming, I can't tell.

Its entirely DoW 2. Though yes, the silhouette isn't raising his hand or screaming, it is in fact a picture of a crimson fists captain with powerfist. I remember that one from a WD issue a few years ago which had an article showing how a guy converted one with that pic as the inspiration.

wouldnt that be for soul storm???

Isn't that already out and reviewed though? It isn't like they'd put something out NOW in next months mag after the fact, is it?

It's not an expansion, it's an entirely new game engine.

One that can handle Nids'.....

and its about time too!!!!!

YAY! But the beta test sticker is misleading. At first I thought: yeah, where do I sign and then I realized that is was for a football manager...wtf?

Haha, if this WERE for Soulstorm then PC Gamer has really gone down hill, with their 'secret exclusive' on a game that, by then, will have been out for a month...

They are a little behind sometimes on the rumor train but, c'mon guys, they aren't Redshirts...

With Company of Heroes being as tasty as it is, I'm REALLY looking forward to this. I think it'll be even better than Starcraft II.

I played Starcraft II at Blizzcon... bleh. It's just Starcraft with pretty graphics, very little new. Dawn of War 2 though... ohh... /drool.

Yep, I'm only buying this if it's at least as good as COH. I love seeing my dudes duck-and-cover, and with all the different types of cover 40k has, it would make me swoon.

Also because I wonder what type of animation they'll give to space marines hitting dirt.

I hope they use the Company of Heroes engine.
My God that sucker is awesome.

I don't see why they wouldn't have built their own new engine...the CoH engine is what, almost 2 years old now?

Don't get me wrong, the CoH engine is damn good. I just wouldn't be surprised if they brought something 'bigger and better' to the table

It better be "bigger and better". I love the CoH engine, but they've had time to embiggen it.

well, if they really do a new Marines vs. Nids DoW, it might have a difficult stand with SC2 not that far away...

It may be the new 40K MMO....as in a new dawn of war...play on words...

I think you're all overlooking the really awesome piece of news in this picture: Exclusive access to the Football Manager beta.

Call me behind on the times but...

Will DoW, WA, DC and SS be compatable with DoW2?

Yes, I'm ready for some football!!


Also, Dawn of War 2 should be pretty cool.

Ahem. Space Marines don't use cover. Remember!?!

Are you telling me that I won't get to see the best manly-men duck and huddle real close to their brethren? Looks like DOW2 just lost a customer.

If you're right, PLEASE OH PLEASE be a FPS...

Nah, it's too early for the 40K MMO to come out. They've been talking about a DoW sequel for awhile now that would let them implement 'Nids. I think we've got at least two years before we see the 40K MMO on the horizon.

Kind of hope it isn't a FPS...Firewarrior was a disappointment as far as FPS go.

Doubt it will be the MMO...but if it is the beta, which it could be, then that would be awesome!

Maybe it's Bloodbowl, you know, with the football manager and stuff...

I really don't think that is the MMO or a shooter. Dawn of War was a success with real-time-strategy and they will stick to it. At least with the title dawn of war.

CoH was/is a blast and was the first time a strategy game topped starcraft imo. Dawn of war was nice but not as "complete" as Company of Heroes was.

It is NOT the 40k MMO or an FPS. The MMO is slated for release in 2010. It's Dawn of War 2 which THQ has been talking about for quite some time.
