[edit] PC Gamer Info
Found this at the GameFAQs Dawn of War 2 forum [1] and Relic Forums [2]. If someone can confirm and set up a proper citation this material can be included on the main page. Right now it's at about the triple hearsay level.
- Space Marines are closer to the supersoldiers they are characterized as.
- Less focus on resource gathering and building
- It will be possible to collect wargear on the battlefield and then to equip it on different troops.
- Campaign missions may have multiple objectives (such as "save the civilians" or "get the wargear"), and you may have to choose between them. Your choices can affect later missions.
- Bridges will be destructible, and units without jump abilities on a bridge when it collapses will be killed.
- Use of buildings as cover; troops can enter and shoot from them, but can be countered with flamers and grenades.

[edit] Multiplayer confirmation?
I've seen it said on all the official sources of info, thus far, for DoW2 that there will be a multiplayer campaign, but I have not seen it explicitly confirmed that there will be normal mulitplayer competition as well. As such, I've added a "citation needed" to that statement in the Multiplayer section. It seems pretty likely that there will be regular multiplayer, but I haven't seen any comments about it either from the pcgameplay or pcgamer articles. -FerociousBeast (talk) 16:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- My request for a citation was undone without comment, so I have added it back. Again, if you have a source for the claim, and not mere assumption, reply here or provide it. Otherwise, the citation is still needed at this point. -FerociousBeast (talk) 14:05, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Who's leading the project?
Dawn of War Soulstorm sucked. I put that as bluntly as I could. Dark Crusade and the original DoW were the two best of the series, WA still being better than SS in my opinion but not that great.
So the question that I think needs immediate answering for all of us fans of DoW, who's leading this project? How much of the team from the original DoW and DoW:DC will be working on this project? This series best attributes are its story-telling, strategy-style, and humor. Can anyone find out who's working on this project and what have they done prior to it?

- All of that information is in the PC Gameplay article. You can find summaries on forums.relicnews.com, or google it. -FerociousBeast (talk) 14:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
