*Wants more

It's in game graphics hulky. If you go watch the first video you'll see the shiny ness more if you focus on the marines.

While I do suspect it's somewhat high settings, that's definitely an ingame shot.

The Essence 2.0 engine is very shiny :D

the little un's are about 1/2 man sized on the board. The snake thing is a bit taller than a space marine, most of the other units should be as big as tanks. Whether they stick to this remains to be seen, but the size of the 3d model in that first piccy looks promising.

Thought you might like to know there's an extra 20 seconds worth of footage added on to their latest cinematic

Internet can't decide if that's a lictor, a hive tyrant or a carniflex. Personilly, I though lictor the moment I saw it

Fix'd.

And if you mean the gribbly in the extra movie bit, I say lictor. It de-cloaks, it has tentacle face and it has overhead stabbity claws. Internet is speculating unneccesarily.

That looks awesome. Not sure I like the idea of choosing your leader though.

You can also get on the Beta by preordering DOWII.
Also, if you already have Soulstorm, but not as part of steam, you can add it via the CD key and get the Beta.
Hooray!

I forgot about this. PCG gave DoW2 82% on account of it scrapping the traditional RTS base building, tank spamming structure and going for a very small scale almost RPG approach. This game isn't like DoW. However, I think it's a great thing because it hopefully opens up the way for a 40k, squad based MMONG.

But Grimmie loev base building/tank spamming

Joose still made me get it..

Will be getting this at launch.

Even smaller squad based RTS action with an experience mechanic coupled with shiny shiny graphics that my machine can handle. Yes Please

Apparently the multiplayer still has that (albeit not as good as the original's). Plus, you can play as Tyranids.
