empire total war did an amazing job of animating it
Nah that games made of purified liquid bad encrusted with bits of ACDC and Mark Wahlberg
Too much fail, first off dawn of war 2 uses the same engine as coh but its an updated version secondly dawn of war = adaptation of the table top game Warhammer 40k.
Lastly Empire is far from "perfect" but it does posses melee even though it is rather duel based ie you wont see entire brigades of troops going at it all at once.
