Warhammer 40k Dawn of War Beta

Post by Mutant Headcrab »

Fileplanet has started up an open beta for the upcoming Warhammer game. Signed up and got myself a key and download. Just thought all you other Warhammer fans out there should know.

RTS fans in general should get it.

When you have your first 150 man melee scuffle, you will love the game.

Wow. This is great! A very well made game. It's an awing feeling watching your Bloodthirster pick up a wounded Librarian and drain him of his blood :twisted:

It's an open beta, sparky. You can join too, if your system specs are up for the job.

And the only reason I'm not participating is because they aren't up to the job.

I love this game, oh yes I do. Oh yes I do...

Summoning a Bloodthirster is always so satisfying, and it's quite enjoyable watching him make paste of the enemy troops.

This game is the greatest thing ever. :P

Very well. Almost no bugs or problems at all in the beta.

It needs some serious optimization, a few tweaks here and there, and for the love of god an AI between standard and hard (standard is too damn easy and hard is a nightmare).

On the other hand, it's pretty smart, too.

But how come every time I play against the comp, I usually end up as the first guy they attack?

Er, it's taking ages for me to get a product code, how long did it take you to get yours?

Also, on a completely unrelated note, if someone wants to PM me some details, then I'd be fine with that. :P

At the moment the beta has closed, though I've heard that its gonna re-open soon.

This game is great, the units are fun and it captures the spirit of 40k perfectly.

Best Ive ever played...

You'd have better luck getting an Ork to wear a pink, frilly dress.
