Yeah DOW2 was an improvement in bolters at least.
That's probably as good as they're going to get, though, which is too bad because I really liked firing single shots at those cultists.

Customization would be in the form of weapon swaps, changing Titan class and specification(individual titans are unique individuals)
Enemy troops would of course be slaughtered in massive numbers, but they could drag you down.
Bosses in the form of other Super heavy vehicles and monsters.
Eventually, you might even command the mighty power of an Emperor Titan.
Killing tiny silhouettes in droves would be boooooooring. And then oh no they climb on you and you cant get them off.
Titan vs titans duels would be fun but realistically would be very rare.
Its like in any mech game. Nobody gives a crap about killing the little bastards. They just want to-fight other mechs.

Diablo clone with Eldar Exarchs. Skill trees, equipments, each aspect as a class, one big story about self-sacrifice and the survival of a craftworld. Epic style...
Baldurs Gate/Ice Wind Dale/Tample of Elemental Evil clone with Inquisition. You create your Inquisitor (with allegiance beying like "class", and affecting the style of your game).
Henchman would be found around the game, as in Baldurs Gate, each one with some influence in the history. Henchmans could include IG Veterans, Necromunda Gangers, Psykers, Servitors, even a Space Marine, or Xenos. Non Linear History, with a lot of possible ends, depending on almost everything, from your Inquistor alegiance, your henchmans or your choses trough the game. That would be AWESOME and, if done well, would bring LOTS of money (KOTOR in 40k, sw eet) Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh, what about a Gorka Morka racing game? I mean: earn theeths racing, upgrade your trukk, hire boyz with weapons to shoot whyle you race, buy better weapons for them...
Something like Destruction Derby Meets Need for Speed who meets Road Racing (that bike game from early playstation 1)...
I would play and replay a thousand times

Just so long as it doesn't use Steam or some other method of having to play online to prove that I own a copy, I'll give whatever they make a try.

Executing Exarch

I'm curious to see where this will end up.
For the DoW debate, I favored the first game somewhat. The second was a bit too small-scale for me. Additionally, cover in that game drove me nuts. It seemed to be far too fragile, and no matter how I tried to avoid it one of the models in my squad always seemed to end up on the wrong side (ex - four man squad, drag the cursor over the cover you want them to deploy in, and one green dot always ends up on the opposite side of the cover from the other three green dots...). Hopefully DoW3 can pick up the best parts from both games.
An RPG could be good, if done well. Dark Heresy seems the most obvious starting point, imo, though of course there are alternatives. I've already indicated that I'd like to see new game based along the same lines as the original Space Hulk computer game (the one with the Deathwing). BFG maybe, though I'm not so sure. Epic, on the other hand, would be an instant sell for me. Phantoms striding across a virtual battlefield escorted by centauroid exodite knights? SIGN ME UP!!!!

I also loathed steam at first as my internet connection is spotty.
but Steam is kinda nice. if you buy a game and download it you actually save money over buying a hard copy and you can usually get Beta versions freee with advance order. DoW2 Retribution was like that.

What are we referring to here... the ongoing slapfight between Nvidia and AMD/ATI, or what?

We're talking about online regestration sites, which are a real pain if you just want to play the game and/or don't have an internet connection.
everytime my internet resets I have to reopen the steam portals
