Well reasonable story line eliminates everything justice suggested. As the HW2 storyline was PATHETIC, and DOW was very empty feeling. EE2 does it even have a story line that isnt just some excuse to move around a world? GC2, I heard it had a story but I still dont believe it. Your best bet for a game that can offer you some play is GC2 or DOW. Personally I endorse DOW but it needs some dev attention to fix all the issues remaining from the 2 speed patches.

well weavern GC2 has got a storyline and a good noe at that (i hav GC2 btw) so looks like its DoW, whats the online gameplay like for this game

1. Watch dozens of replays.

2. Play and hf. The gameplay is furiously fast, and quite strategically oriented. There are several small mechanics which difference it from other RTS games.

[allied56]

if youve played GC2 can u compare them for me?

[ilia]

I played the GC2 demo.


DoW = shiner graphics, better music overall, MUCH better interface, Simplier and more complicated in areas where it is needed appropriately. More realistic, as vehicles dont die from 50 bullets shot onto them. Generally MUCH more fun. 2600% more optimized for systems despite having higher sys. requirements. Storyline might be significantly simplier as GC2's is better according to what I read on GameFAQs. 4 different races. Simplified base building. 12000000% more style. Killing animations. Big units and abilities.

You owe yourself this game if Fantasy RTSs is what you love. :)

nothing beast hw2 its fantastic

[laserflip]

GC2 pre-patch was MUCH better...if you want REAL fun with GC2, dont download the patch until you have completed single player. the patch ruins the game...GC2 online sucks ass now, but still 100x more micro intensive than DoW. you cant leave the keyboard for 3 seconds breaks like u might on DoW...as for storyline, the GC2 one IS better than the DoW one, by far. DoW is much better NOW though, simply bc GC2 is WORTHLESS online bc of the shitty ass patch.

Wrong on almost every point. I'd say maybe better music, and MAYBE better graphics. More realistic? Are you kidding? I don't know how you could possibly argue that one. Simplified base building? Any base building blows. Killing animations are cool.

Saying something has "big units and abilities" while at the same time saying "More realistic" is retarded.

Listen to laser, as he hardcore played gc2 and hardcore plays dow now, and hence is the only person who can judge both (I hardcore played DoW, and think its an ok game, but i quit after a month).

More realistic? Are you kidding? I don't know how you could possibly argue that one.


I was merely saying that it is more realistic ONLY b/c tanks dont explode after 3 seconds of focused bullet fire, unlike in most other RTS games. Of course, GC2 is more realistic in every other aspect, having more realistic-like units (relatively of course to DoW) and tactics. But this isnt necessarily an advantage.

I've never played DoW online, but from what ive played agaisnt AI, I would have to say GC2 was better (Thats why i never actualy bought DoW).

If you want a change from RTS, go buy WoW :D. Its easily the best game ive EVER played. It has a varity of gaming modes including PvP or PKing, PvE or normal and RP where you must act, talk and be your character. The world is massive and the quests are very well planed. You can build skills to make money and benifet your own character. There is a mail system so you dont have to chace down your buddys to borrow money/items. You can play as 8 diferent races and i think its about 9 classes. You can have as many characters as you want using the same account and dont have to pay anymore. The only 2 bad things are that it has a monthly cost and the begining is a little slow (mostly delivering items from place to place and collecting things for people), after that the quests get really fun :D

Drunk do not even bother afgreeing with ilia hes a fan boy of unbelievable statue, he was saying that DoW was better than GC2 before they were even release, how you make a judgement with no facts or experience is still a mystry to me. But hey hooo, on the topic of the thread get Nexus the Jupiter incident wooo hahahaha love en it, the graphics kick the shit out of any other pc based game barring eve, and it even runs that close. Buy it, play it, love it! Or HW2 is much barrated by the heratics but is still totally great fun to play, and with the new map editor that the boys have made you can make your own maps.

DoW is basically designed for kids, they have over simplified it, apart from that it is a fun game, but it just annoys me that they have removed so many tactical elements, claiming it makes it more accessable.

[Weavern]

Yes thats right DOW was designed for kids thats why it got a ERSB M raiting... right... somehow I think not smurph. DOW was designed to require less instant clicking and other heavy micro in favour of more macro and terrain benefits. Hell overwatch can almost eliminate the need to focus on your unit production so long as you rally them right. I played GC2 in beta and unless the game instantly got 1000% better on release DOW still is a much better game. You simply have to take a look at the mods comming out to see what DOW can offer better then GC2.

[/<yle]

GC2 terrain had huge impact on stratagys. Hell, incliment weather reduced range so much and sight so much you practicly ran them over before you saw them.
