Soooo pretty
Thank gosh they didn't get rid of the resource gathering and base management bit in multiplayer, otherwise the game would turn into another crap pile as all the competitive players move back to Starcraft or Warcraft 3 while they await Starcraft II's release. Anyone remember Mark of Chaos? xD

Funny enough, if you actually read the interview you'll see that they mention that the single player will be marine only.

Never really had any doubt the Bugs would be in DoW 2. After years of Relic saying that if they ever make bugs they want to do it on a new engine, the fan outrage from not putting them in DoW2 would have approached Greedo-shoots-first intensity.
Still, it's nice to get actual confirmation  . Looks like it's going to be sweet. (Just a bit worried that all the stuff going on on-screen is going to make actually playing the game a pain though).

You gotta love the caption under that picture "You're gonna need a bigger space marine" I can't wait for it so I can play Tyranids in multiplayer. Gotta go practice hissing and extruding slime.

Damn straight I can.
But yeah, I was very happy to see the Lictor show up. I just knew it would happen. Of course, the fluff-geek in me instantly went ' The Sergeant should be dying now to the haemotoxin running through his system' after the Lictor attacked him, not getting up and charging.
It's also cool to see just how damned big that 'Fex is. Very nice. I hope there are more cinematics with the 'Nids in them.

I'm interested only if they fix the game balance and mechanics. Nids are nice, but just another unbalanced faction will not get me to buy the game.

I agree, whether they can balance nids to the other races will make or break this game for me

It's a completely different game with a completely different playstyle. It'd be like, to use an older example, not buying C&C Generals because the Chinese are unbalanced compared to the Brotherhood of Nod in a different game.

They'd better act like nids, with at least 15 per swarm after construction (yet with 1/2 the health of say, an eldar guardian)
While this doesnt fit in perfectly with the tabletop game, it'd fit in with the fluff very well.

Which video shows these? I closed the window the moment a TV ad popped in front of my game advertisement (trailer) I actually wanted to see. I'm not sitting through that crap if it isn't the right one.

Don't be fooled (as I was almost!) by the fact that it is the same (at the beginning!) trailer we all know and love (complete with Dreadnaught roasted Banshee!).
