Just one question though, is there base building in multiplayer or is it all unit management? There is base building and unit building, just don't expect anything like Starcraft. | ||

There is definitely since, you build structures that make units, but you end up running around the map with a very limited number of units (think: a dozen, plus a few elite units) | ||

The chance to win against a better player was rather slim and some of the stuff they introduced there was pretty novel. They basically took the best parts of DoW and CoH, merged them together and released this beast of a game. Campaign was shit though I think CoH Is probably my favorite Relic RTS, I enjoyed DoW1 far far far more than DoW2 though. | ||

As a player you probably get used to this mess and understand what I going on after a while, but this game is DOA as an esport because of this design. | ||

I don't have problems separating units from terrain so far though and really like how the terrain and the buildings look. I just think the units look somehow low resolution. | ||

I bought it as sale, and probably will buy DoW III at sale as well. | ||

It Looks a bit like a Dow2 polished up and enlarged a bit? I also haven't seen any Units that require to set up (heavy gunners and stuff like this), are these gone? I kinda liked these. | ||

I feel like open 'betas' right before release night be indicative of lower preorder sales in an attempt to get more people to buy early. Of course that is pure speculation, and I have literally zero evidence. Edit: I don't know what I'm talking about - every DoW game has had an open beta period, so there's nothing strange about this one. | ||

That's fair - I honestly don't know the history of the other DoW games - so didn't realize that. I'm just starting to grow a lot more cautious about "Open Betas" that a lot of games are having - when they happen a few days before actual release, the amount of items they can fix is pretty small, unless it's something absolutely catastrophic. Then again, maybe that's the point? To have a quick stress test so they can make sure the release goes as smoothly as possible | ||

Stress testing and simple things to fix that they didn't spot in internal testing. For the recent Mass Effect Andromeda there was a conflict with Corsair drivers that made the game unplayable while they were installed. That was patched in the day 1 patch for PC as an example of something that can be fixed and is easy to miss. | ||

And if I don't like the beta there's a good chance I'm gonna wait until it's cheaper/a gold version with a bunch of add-ons is out, which would translate to relic loosing money because of the beta. It's basically a free demo for a few days before release. | ||

I agree that open betas are mostly demos now. And that the only thing that will change from demo to release, will be day 1 patch and driver updates. | ||
