hey guys after having played the beta for DoW II all day I was wondering what other people thought of it.

My initail impressions:
Pros:
the game looks a lot better than DoW.
There's a lot of unit available to choose from, which I liked.
Choosing your "Hero" is pretty cool new spin on the traditional RTS

Cons:
You don't really need to use tactics to beat it, you'll be fine if you just blob your army up and head for your opponent.
The camera is too far out and makes the guys really tiny looking
You can't build huge armies, my 1st game through I played as orks and hit the level cap with 1 warboss, 1 sqd of 6 nobz, 1 squad of 6 stormboyz, 1 sqd of 4 tankbustas, a dread and a trukk, defintily not enough troops for the standard RTS
There seems to be too much micromanagement, whichs bogs gameplay down

anybody else have any input?
