You get quite a few extra goodies, including a unique case . I'm a sucker for useless trinkets and unnecessary decoratives.


Ed's: Should probably add "spending money" to that list while I'm at it.

I think it also has a all the bonus artwork from the race packs. It's worth mentioning that the extra wargear is going to be released as DLC for a price, so you can never miss out on the special edition goodies forever.

Yar. I wish I ahd been able to play more, but I've not been much in the mood for games during my free time recently, outside of the occasional co-op on Rainbow Six Vegas 2 or minecraft.

It's a little late for trailers I reckon.. and it's not the best video to be honest.. not enough "badass" in it.. or lighting for that matter.

Aside from the obvious lack of lighting I thought it was okay.

'Trailer' is a bad word for it.

It's the introduction video.

I liked the intro movie.

Just think it was exceptionally dark, and pieces were hard to pick out. Hopefully the game version isn't like that.

Beta being down has already made me bored....hmmm, maybe I should play some RA3.

I wonder if we'll actually have to fight a Bloodthirster in this game?

Seems unlikely.. but you never know..

Meh, everyone's been changing their release dates recently. I'm not gonna be bothered as long as I get my collector's edition through the mail within the next 10 days at least.

It's still funny how I payed the same amount of money that you all payed for standard versions of the game on steam (if you bought the standard version).

I thought this would be helpful for the Australian's strapped for cash:

$30 (AUS) is the righteous amount... none of this $50 nonsense...

Anyone watch the Pre release stream? Just ended. Pretty awesome! Mainly matches from the Community vs the fellows at Relic, I think there was a bit of campaign, and at the end a short Q&A. Pretty cool, matches looked really fun.

I think my game just unlocked. Steam is decrypting it now and Steam news is saying that the game is available now.

Wibble?

YES, it works! Just bashed my way through a nice tutorial level, worth going through, if only to see that some things have gotten really, really big.

OH yes they have. My waaagh was huge, so many boyz on the screen at once.

The campaign is notably different from the others in playstyle, I don't think the people who wanted bigger battles will complain...

Shut it, you lot! I don't want it ruined! Unfortunately, being the United Kingdomer that I am, I have not yet received my game.

But just the two above posts alone excite me even more - big battles? I like!

My PC really won't though.. but are these "big" battles only in campaign? Because the BETA was virtually the same as the last two games, with a few minor but awesome new features.

Last Remaining Whole C'Tan






Pleasant Valley, Iowa

edit: reinstalling my video card drivers (clean install) fixed the problem described below.


So I just got home from work, exited about playing Dawn of War 2: Recrashination. Unfortunately, it keeps crashing.

Try to change the graphics settings? That's a crash.
Try to import your stats from Chaos Rising? That's a crash.
Try to exit the game? That's a crash.

So far I've launched the game 6 or so times, and played for zero seconds. I'm verified game cache, etc. No dice. Perplexing, since I never had a single problem with DOW2\CR or even the Retribution beta.

Very disappointing.

That really would blow. Try restarting steam, your computer etc. All the tricks. If worst comes to worst, which hopefully it won't, you might have to do a re-install.

Perhaps your PC can't deal with it for some reason? Seems unlikely.. I'd suggest looking for patches/problems on the internet as well.
