Artist's Comments

Sort of like the X-Com one, except probably less funny and true and more of me complaining.

Since I have satellite, I can't reliably play online, hence most of me complaining, as I mostly play the AI. The only time I enjoy DoW2 is on custom maps, where the resource points are shoved away so the AI can't get to them without coming through a choke point that you don't have to hike to get to.

Wait, why does satellite internet make you unable to play online?

And anyway, yes, the AI is awful.
Strategy games are not particularly famed for their quality AI players, at all.

I know your distress, I know you're alone.
I follow you home, and put you to sleep.
You wake up and see, I've stolen your feet.

That, and, with the combat system as it is, ie, managing your firefights and retreating when necessary, we see DOW 2 has designed a game where Space Marines, the most durable, damage resistant troop choice in the game, are by far, the most suited for strategic

retreat.

Although now retreating doesn't make you move faster, so all it does is dramatically increase the amount of melee damage you take.

Latency. Satellite connections have to beam into space and back, so although it's "fast," it's slow to be fast, so it can't keep up with anything like games or video streams, etc.

That sounds way less awesome than what I remember of the game but now that you mention it, Company of Heroes and Dawn of War may have great combat, but I never ever get to freaking experience it unless I give the enemy these magic troop dispensers so they stop ignoring the football sized holes in their body caused by my units.

I think, civility flew out the window the second I found the lawn mower, with dignity and humanity splattered over the walls.

I expected a good or at least fun campaign. It was fun for the first 10 maps, and then it's the same thing over and over and over and over again. I'm afraid the first DoW was 8 times better.
