Dawn of war 2 Expansion Pack?

AJ! · 08-23-09, 12:15 PM

So after playing a fair amount of DOW2 1.5 i can say it has grown on me quite a bit. Once you get past the fact its not a normal RTS it really is a fun game.

One of DOW2s big problems however is a lack of content. The 4 sides are well done and each unit is vairied and interesting. The problem is however each side doesnt have enough units considering the background.

Regarding the inevitable expansion pack, what new units/ races would you all like to see?

Assuming it is 2 new races they will add its almost guaranteed to be chaos and imp guard (which is fine with me

) although i would love to see tau introduced as well.

Cant say what units I'd like to see until we know what kind of Chaos we get (Khorne most propably as usual).

Well i guess so many people were desperate for the nids that they had to cut chaos in the end. As for which faction they will choose it could go any way.

It would be great to see chaos get 4 commanders to choose from at the start. One for each of there gods. As brill as that would be i think we will get a near identical DOW1 chaos with some new bits thrown in.

One thing they could always do is bring back the super units for each side. Orks could get their giant squig back etc although it would prob mess up the tactical gameplay relic have gone for.

I would like some proper drop pods for the space marines. maybe send your units into the HQ then have a ability to drop pod then into battle, similar to DOW1 teleport but only with the proper pods

I've read in a recent PC Gamer that the next campaign will feature Orks.
As for mp, i've heard nothing, but Imperial Guard would be nice to see. Just the thought of having a map full of guardsmen and tanks makes me want to play thru DOW: Winter Assault again.

Yep it would be great to have IG in the xpack but there is now word that it may be chaos.
