awesome. human shields for my space marines...

In fact someone looked through the beta reference files and found references to such units as an Imperial Guard mortar team.

But those files seem to contain just about every concept they'd ever gone through regardless of whether it is in-game or not, includiing a Land Raider and traitor/Chaos units, so that's possibly not a good lead.

No Land raider in DOW2? thats a shame, ill miss it

The last thing the game needs is the Marines getting another super unit.

Sounds wrong.

The predators never rreally impressed me either. I use it as a meat shield or a diversion more than anything else. 😬

Dreadnoughts are god though.

i'd rather have a couple of hellfire dreadnoughts than a predator... shame they aren't in the game (unless i missed their announcement).

Using a Predator is a meat shield is entirely wrong. It is mobile firepower- use it that way.

for me, it just gets in the way. also, it's too inflexible. its either good against infantry or good against buildings. you can try to balance it out with upgrades, but then you lose its effectiveness against both, imo.

land raider and hellfire dreadnoughts are better imo...

My copy has not yet arrived.

Now, the game does not actually activate in Europe until midnight and I am no longer a midnight gamer, so so long as it arrives tomorrow...

(If I am extremely grumpy tomorrow you know why)

I cant w8, my copy arrives tomorrow, jesus I wish it was earlier (christmas) because ime stuck with RL problems atm so I wont be able to play as much "sigh"...ah well....

i almost got one today, but i'll get it tomorrow instead... can't wait.

I'll probably wait and get this for my bday in a couple of months. Wasn't crazy about the demo, so I can wait.

Got it, installed it...cannot yet play it. The Day 0 patch/update is comign down and at a snail's pace- I assume the servers are overwhelmed.

Mine's currently installing. yay me.

EDIT: UGH. because of space limitations, i always install my games to a partition. for some reason this game won't let me. what. the. f*ck.

Ive got 14 gig on my C drive and 74 on my E drive.

Thing is ime not sure where DoW2 was installed, It was simply installed through steam and as you said, never gave me a choice.

Thing is....the game is brilliant BUT I am having major issues, the game itself runs great, I have my settings mostly on high, a few on medium such as Shadows and Rain quality and its smooth, the game plays without any loss of framerate or choppiness.

Now, randomly it completly freezes the computer, the whole machine is frozen and my only choice is to reboot by pressing the button on the unit...its happned at the beginning of a Skirmish game against A.I Tyranids with me as Space marines, take into account beforehand I played about 4 levels of the campaign.

Then when I started the game up again, everything was working fine, I completed a skirmish battle against the Orks as Space marines, I had the battle with the Tyranids again on the same map and I won that as well so i thot everything was fine so i started the campaign again on a level where you have to kill an Eldar Warp spider Exarch, i reached the Exarch, got it near death and the machine crashed again.

So...I start up the machine, ime not going to give up so easily because the game is excellent and ime a person who is not happy or content doing something else when the thing I really want to do is broken or does not work. So I play through another Skirmish, me and a normal A.I Eldar VS 2 space marines of the same A.i difficulty. We beat them down, get the "mission victory" screen and I click "continue" to see my score and it does the same thing again. Everything frozen, cannot even close the program.

So either theres something going on with the game itself , its installed ona drive where theres not enough space (even the lowest has 14gig, surely thats enough anyway) or its something ive not thought of. I use a Nvidia Geforce 8800 but I cannot see how my graphics should be the problem otherwise I would surely get some framerate issues.

All Steam games install inside part of your Program Files/Steam folder of your default drive.

Are you running Vista 32 bit?
