Dow 2 is out already?

[PirateClock]

I thought it wasn't supposed to come out till like May. Damn i already got FEAR2 and Lost and Damned last week, also a new navigation system, new watch, new shoes and i have 2 parties lined up for next week. I simply can't afford another game right now, this blows im really really looking forward to this game.

Anyone got it already?

Yeah I didn't expect it to be out already. I watched the IGN review and I'm really glad it's been stripped down to more action focused gameplay, less base building and resource gathering, and that you can destory the cover/buildings enemies are behind. The physics engine used looks nice and it overall seems a lot more accessible (which, trust me, is good for me considering i suck at RTS' and hate base building etc.).

Back in the day (age of empires, red alert, total annihilation, settlers, warcraft etc) i was a huge RTS fan, and building bases was my favorite part. But playing loads of FPS and action adventure has made me impatient and now it's all about the action for me as well. So i too am glad that DOW2 focuses more on action and less on building.

When i was still a building fan i would sometimes create massive bases even though my army was already big enough to defeat my foe, id still keep building stuff and just use my army as a defensive wall. I remember taking like 4 or 5 hours on a single match in Total Annihilation, while i could have finished it in half an hour. This was all still offline of course.

hahaha wow


yeah i guess it was all a bit too complicated for me and a bit too much stuff was going on but that was sort of a while ago. maybe i've changed now, who knows.
