Sweet, destructible terrain.
I'm curious to see how they handle resources. DoW's use of control points for req was great for the gameplay.
Gratuitous, over the top violence for the win!

Re: Dawn Of War II
I am really looking forward to this sequel but many of us who loved the DoW series fear it will only sport a few races in the entire game (in both campaign & skirmish modes) and not the potpourri of WH40K racial goodness that the current games feature. The original DoW set an awfully high bar when it allowed you to play the core WH40K races (minus Tyranids) in skirmish battles.
Hopefully Relic will keep with tradition and offer the major WH40K races as playable in skirmish mode in addition to the two fully fleshed out single player campaigns for the Space Marines & Orkz. The wildcard in all this are Tyranids. People have been screaming for the 'Nids since the release of DoW 1 and you can bet WH40K gamers will be furious if they have to wait to play/fight them in a DoW2 expansion.
The following six armies would make me happy as a pig in ----; Space Marines, Imperial Guard, Orkz, Chaos, Eldar & Tyranids. The Tau, Necrons, Dark Eldar, Daemonhunters & Witch Hunters can wait for the expansions.

Re: Dawn Of War II
Nice find, I loved the first games (except the most recent one...) and this looks great too

Looks like Company of Heroes but with a Warhammer 40k setting.
Which is a good thing since the game will benefit from the engine.
Just thinking about space marines or Orkz taking cover behind walls and blowing the entire map to pieces makes me drool.

Re: Sv: Re: Dawn Of War II
It should, since CoH was based on Dawn of War. ;)Looks like Company of Heroes but with a Warhammer 4000k setting.
It sounds cool that they'ved added the destructability of CoH back into DoW. Hopefully squads will be smarter now (though it's probably too much to hope for them using special abilites on their own like grenades and the like).
I wonder how "loot drops" will affect the regular, non-leader units? Will we be able to upgrade our squaddies like in DoW?
I'm excited though.
