Dawn Of War 2

Dawn of War 2 is an MMORTS game developed by Relic Entertainment. MMORTS stands for massively multiplayer online real time strategy game. These games involve controlling units and usually capturing objectives and destroying the other players units. The majority of MMORTS games are played on the PC as a result of them being too advanced for console platforms. DoW2 is the sequel to the bestselling game, Dawn of War. Dow2 features smaller maps, and less base building, but emphasizes on unit control. Since the release, the game has undergone numerous patches and three expansions. The articles talk about the expansion, specifically the newest one, Dawn of War Retribution.

I am interested in the fact that DoW2 has finally introduced playable armies that DoW had done so quickly. The Imperial Guard is the newest race. They are most ordinary humans with very powerful tanks and other machines. The articles explain the strategies for using the Imperial Guard and the units. In my opinion, the Imperial Guard is the only army that starts rolling out armored vehicles at the very beginning of combat. This makes strategies against infantry based armies hard to use.

I am excited to see that many people are joining the game every day. There are numerous YouTube channels that review the online replays. The best commentators are full of excitement. Many MMORTS game commentators do not have much excitement which can lead to the game becoming boring very quickly.

DoW2 is already a great game with people online all over the world 24/7. The game has many units and 6 playable races. The races use different techniques and strategies to defeat each other. In my opinion, this is what makes the game so unique.
