Tyranids Confirmed For Br..I mean DoW2!
godkow \| 2:51 PM on 08.19.2008	13 comments

Looks like the speculation about the ending of the above trailer was true. Tyranids will indeed become the next playable race in DoW2. Wondering what this new race will bring to the table?

"Philippe Boulle: The Tyranid swarm is a single organism, not an army of individuals. Defensive "meat shields" of disposable creatures protect powerful specialists. These specialists also serve as conduits for the guiding Hive Mind, empowering the smaller units and making them more effective.

"Players will actually see the swarm change tactics and behavior as it comes under the guidance of these synapse creatures."

Sweet. I'll definitely be giving these guys some playtime. Oh, if you don't know what tyranids are, you can gtfo my blog right now. Or just look below. Your choice.

This is the one thing I always wanted in my favorite RTS, more than Starcraft even, so I am super fucking excited right now. Is there a release date yet?

The Bez:
I haven't heard one yet. Most sites are reporting Q1 or Q2 2009, but those are probably just guesses. Either way, we've still got a while.

Fuck yeh! Nids were the first army I collected when I did W40k, their unstoppable consumption of entire planets has always given me a hard on.
Relic are quickly becoming one of my favourite developers, they have somehow brought W40k into mainstream gaming without butchering the tabletop games immense back story of army mechanics.

I meant 'immense back story <b>or</b> army mechanics.'
I think I need sleep.

about me
Other Aliases: Oswoc, Ozwok, Zice, god.kow (plus any/all of those with '325' after them) Steam ID: god_kow Clan Affiliation: [SSNF] and our radical right wing [kssnf] My favorite genre is generally shooters. RPGs are ok too (especially if they're free). I'm too dumb to figure out RTS games. Racing/Sports games are meh, unless something creative is done with them to make them awesome. If I wanted to play soccer, I would just go outside and do it. If I'm gonna game, I'm gonna blow people's heads off and cleanse the world of demons (things I can't/would never do in real life). Consoles I Own (in no particular order): Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, Wii, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, mah shweet PC Oh and I'm part Japanese. My friends seem to think that's awesome so maybe if you guys read this you'll think I'm awesome too. Seems like solid logic to me. Main Games I'm Playing: Team Fortress 2 (PC) Left 4 Dead (PC) I've also got the random urge to play Morrowind again as well. BOOM HEADSHOT!! -FPS Doug
