Topic : Dawn of War II Retribution ( 2nd Expansion pack )

Really? Better than that of Company Of Heroes? How does the cover system work, then? Rusty old cars don't provide heavy cover?

[cephalos]

no, in CoH when your infantry sometimes chases enemy and run of of cover - poor idiots, while in DoWII infantry will often retreat a bit if they can find cover and they never rush forward. They even prioritize heavy cover than light one.

I think they prioritize heavy cover in Company Of Heroes, don't they?

[cephalos]

  they prioritize enemy over the cover.

[pariah]

I haven't noticed that. When my units are shooting at the bad guys from behind cover, they don't tend to run out there unless they are working under an attack order and the unit moves out of range, or they are dodging an explosive of some sort.

Anyway, cover/target priority is just a combat behavior, and can be attuned. As for DoW 2 it's just not worth playing, or even considering to, IMO.

Yeah, when you've got a game with similar mechanics, but so much better (and set in W.W.II), who needs Dawn Of War?

Wh40k universum fanboys like me

Yeah, i was heavily into the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop and videogames as a kid, but real-time is just so much better than turn-based.

People that are good at DOW will stick to DOW.
People that are good at COH will stick to COH.

I'm a good DOW player but ironically I love COH more!

But they are both made by Relic so what's the problem?

I like DOW I is better that DOW II, even if the AI is crap and units don't take cover. Who needs flashy graphics and combat AI when there is base building, watching flying bodies plus basic direct combat and micromanagement to be done!

On a side note: The campaigns for Dark Crusade and Soulstorm....... sucked....
