Definitely like the way the Eldar look. I do hope they don't abandon all of 2 though, since I really like DoW2 and its expansions. The way they played, especially in the campaigns, was really fun.

only 3 factions. yaaaay

Sega no doubt making it so that any other factions are DLC


What in the...

Dawn of War 1 only had four factions initially. Two also started with four factions initially. Three is only one fewer. Not having chaos there is a bummer though. Kind of like with Total Warhammer not having chaos unless you buy it new/preorder.

And, though I can't speak for others, one reason why I liked DoW2 more was less emphasis placed on base building. Sounds weird to say it, since I really liked RTSes and still like dipping into ones I used to play, but I'm not a huge fan of traditional RTS base building. Edit: Small troop counts were sometimes unfun, but in large versus matches I found it interesting enough to keep my attention at least.

Eh, I still think it looks better than those initial screens let on. That said, I still probably would've preferred a refinement of DoW2's gameplay. Maybe boost the scope a bit or something, but I thought multiplayer battles could get plenty big. And hey, if this game is successful enough maybe they'll finally release a Space Marine 2!
