Relic Entertainment’s Dawn of War II has a multiplayer component, but we’re guessing you already knew that. The video above walks viewers through character selection and provides an excellent glimpse of the many of the gameplay elements involved in competitive play.
Despite a campaign that features only the Blood Ravens, it is quite plain that the other races in the game are open for multiplayer. If you can look past the ridiculously big explosions (get ready for splash damage), you’ll notice that the player can represent all the races in the game -- the Eldar, Tyranids, Orcs and Human factions. Also, the tanks are bigger.
Visually, the Dawn of War II is far superior to what I originally anticipated. Hopefully, THQ will play nice and not require us to buy thousands of dollars of upgrades just to check this out when it hits early next year.

But are they playable?
I guess the 20 people in the world that know exactly what's going on in there are wetting themselves?
I mean, shit, SC is basically a ripoff of Warhammer 40k to begin with. (Although SC is a superior game to pretty much all the Warhammer games)
Speaking of I should really think of getting back into that I used to have a pretty good collection....
(Actually, I think I might be playing Eldar this time around.)
Still, I'll miss Chaos. Hopefully they'll be in the next expansion.
Where do you get off saying it cost thousands of dollars for upgrades when most high end video cards that will run this game at full detail will only run you $150? Oh and lets say maybe you want a faster cpu, another $50-75. maybe another gig of ram? $25. So for what the cost of a 360 pro to upgrade your computer? Yah thousands of dollars. You don't need top of the line alienware equipment to play pc games. I last updated my computer 2 years ago and it can still play all new pc games at full detail, I don't plan on having to upgrade for possibly another 2 if that.
