Well...a bit better than the Marine and Eldar reveals.

Holy shit, they need to tone down those weapon effects, unless they are there to indicate buffs/abilities etc, and even then they could still be less dazzling, I mean , WTF was going on in that fight around the 2.30 mark?

I suppose that 3 is going to be more like 1 than 2, so there's not quite the same need to keep an eye on things, target abilities etc, but still, it looks like an MMO boss battle with all that multicoloured fireworks display.

Eh.

I don't play Dawn of War, but I do enjoy watching multiplayer videos of DoW2 (with something called the 'elite mod' I think).

Something about the new game just looks... off. I suspect that it's pissing off a lot of fans for reasons beyond my ken.

The 720p isn't helping. What is this, the dark ages?

Lot of fans claiming it's too cartoony, too bright, etc. I can sympathize, even if I don't really agree, though jumping Terminators...huh?

So it's the vanilla lineup all over again, isn't it? Can we get at least one of the less seen races? Maybe give the Necrons or the Tau another go? Maybe have Dark Eldar instead of the regular ones, since they've only had one game and it was a shit one (Soulstorm)?

No offennse but I always thought Warhammer 40k was a bit too Cartoony.

I mean the Space Marines look Toy Like by intentional design.
