Dawn of War III Open Beta

#1

Post by Ryall »

It's this weekend. If you enjoyed Dawn of War I, you should enjoy this game. I was in closed beta, and I had a good time. They have mixed up the objectives of the game to something closer to being a moba, while adding a unique spin on heroes (elites), and returning to large scale warfare and base building.

If you are interested in trying the game out before you buy it, this is a multiplayer only beta for this weekend. Registration is required for a key, at: https://www.dawnofwar.com/beta.

So who is buying the game, and who is trying the closed beta?
Hahaha! :lol:

Has it started yet?

It complains about a missing executable when I try and launch it.

That sucks.

Are you sure that it didn't go to spam, or that you accidently sent it to the wrong email address?

I would wait until they add more content and the game goes on sale. The multiplayer battles get quite repetitive quite quickly; there aren't many maps; and there are few players searching at the moment which makes finding a game difficult. It's not as good as Company of Heroes 2 at the moment.

I find it interesting how your opinion of the game has changed these last few weeks; especially considering how highly you regard CoH.

On the face of it, it is a fun game, and I have played 71 hours of it, excluding the hours I spent playing the beta (probably another 20). Unfortunately, it has not quite surpassed CoH2 with 992 hours played, but then again, CoH2 is 4 years old, and did not have nearly as much content when it launched as it does now, so we will see, maybe the game shall be improved.

Yeah, I remember being distinctly disappointed by CoH 2 when it first launched, and I still think that in some ways it hasn't quite been able to match the original.

I wish that relic would stop with the E-Sport speed and sensitivity.
