This thread has been linked to the game 'Warhammer 40,000: dawn of war'.
Nabbed this from PC World last night.
Really enjoying it so far, only played it for around an hour and a half, did the comprehensive tutorial, watched the awesome introduction, had a gander at the custom squad creation and was mightily impressed by all.
Visually a very nice game, very similar in style to Command and Conquer Generals although without the extreme EA style polish. Audio wise very good, decent bass, sound effects and musical score.
Biggest bonus is the pick up and play nature of the gameplay and for a game that feels so easy to pick up and play it is surprisingly quite deep. Follows suit with the Command and Conquer series, you build a base, you build squads of soldiers, upgrade those squads and go to war. Instead of having objectives based around destroying your enemies base/s you have to play the RTS style Capture the Flag only there is no flag and instead you have points on the map you have to get to before your enemies.
This style of gameplay suits those who like to attack from the word go as you can't just sit back and build a massive army, you have to play full on going hell for leather from the word go, makes for some fast paced and really interesting gaming.
Haven't taken it online as I am currently switching ISP's. Solely based on the single player so far, big thumbs up!

EA polish?
Is that where they bring a game up to every other developer's standards before releasing it? :D

Pity there is only one campaign though, I'd have loved to have played as all four races in single player. Plenty of mods already in the works though, all adding other species from the Warhammer universe, and I hear there's an expansion in the works as well.
Big guns which have sh*t hot upgrades make an appearence, oh yes!
Is it all Orcs and stuff or does it have big guns?
