So what tips can you give me as a new Tau soldier fighting the IoM?

And has anyone got it and wants to play online anytime? I'm going to see if I can get this working over my uni network, worth a shot.

Left it at home because it wouldn't work on my PC, but now i've got the latest drivers i'm getting it sent up by my bro. So if it works i'll see if i can fit some Firewarrior smackdown into my schedule of beatdowns.

The only tip I can give is that you should cast the cds into the local pit of hellfire long before you actually put it on your system.

So much potential. So little game. And what game there is, is fucking terrible.

Just bite the bullet and buy Dawn of War.

You're such a harsh critic anyway.

I didn't pay full price and I've nothing more to do until HL2 and my new PC arrive, so I'm going to check this out.

He's right, you got ripped off. One of the least pleasurable things I've seen done to a computer, and I work university IT.

I just exchanged it for XIII which was a fiver cheaper. Me and my impulsive buying of cheap games.

Keep moving. Never, ever stop moving.

Watch out for Space Marines; those suckers can turn you into chop suey in a couple seconds flat. Grab one of their bolters as soon as you get a chance, you'll need the firepower.

Always give your shield time to recharge after a fight.

When you get the railgun, remember that it works best at long range.

The lasgun fires quickly, but lacks power. The plasma pistol packs a ridiculous punch but doesn't reload very quickly.

Whenever you see someone teleport, spin around because they're most likely right behind you.

Beware of dreadnoughts. They are inconcievably nasty.

1. If it moves, shoot it. 2. If it doesn't move, shoot it a lot even more (optional: shoot it until it moves, then apply rule 1).

Eat a well-balanced diet.

There is no spoon.

Good hunting.
