You must really like TF2

I liked it enough to play it somewhat consistently for five or more years

Whenever I try to play I'm always the Spy.....I don't even do anything suspicious and then the enemy team just hits me with a melee weapon and I die...

I usually play myself/heavy.
Or Soldier.
Or Spy.

I have the problem in DoW 2 that I always do assault marine rush.
And collectin resources for a dread..

That's called spychecking. You need to be sneakier, and minimize your exposure to the enemy.

I usually play CTF on 2fort.....Their are enemies everywhere haha.

Back to DoW 2....I've noticed that I take forever to get to the second tech' level, I usually spam the crap out Chaos marines. So I wind up having like...5 squads of Chaos marines with the first upgrade, than the enemy rolls out a dreadnought or tank....and I can't kill it

CTF on 2fort is so mind-bogglingly repetitive that players know the entire map and where every single spy hiding spot is. always every time.

Ya, whenever I play 2fort it feels like the same game every time...

How the hell did this thread go from DoW2 to TF2?

Magic...But lets get back to DoW2

Right. Any tips for an IG player? I prefer playing IG but I'm not very good with them (having been an Ok player for so long).

When I played Guard I just did huge infantry blobs......It killed everything, until a tank showed up.......

I'd be more than happy to help you with that. First, you must be aggressive, when you attack the enemy army, move forward with a sentinel and your inquisitor/commissar at the same time, forcing the enemy to either split their fire or ignore one. Either way, the combination of being attacked by a melee commander, stomped by a sentinel and shot by 2x guardsmen squads is enough to rout the most. Remember to concentrate on melee units and weak things like Scouts first.

I have a lot more tactics, what's your steam name?

I played dow2 once when it first came out at a gaming center, I got all the Dow games with all expansions and haven't found anyone to play with yet.

If anyone wants an Orky companion shoot me a friend request I think it's Rejn2

Same as my forum name, but I'm not on that account unless I specifically want to play retribution (I have another one due to staem shenanigans which has my more recent purchases).

My steam name is altzer im always down for some retribution.
