I remember playing the first one, it was amazing. Compared to Warcraft 3 (god bless it) and it's major fights, this is an orgasm. I had a Dreadnought literally pick up an orc, whack it on the ground a couple times, then throw it a couple miles away. It was amazing. The second one is only going to make this better. The scenery from Screenshots looks stunning, as well as the mechanic they're implementing for cover. With the graphics amped up, this means that I can REALLY see my Space Marines tear through the battle field in *heavy voice* HD.
The game is following along with the original one with base building mechanics, which is fast and easy. Rather than build like hell, I can immediately pump out a unit, and a heavy weapons workshop for the Heavy Bolters and flame-throwers I so desire. Meaning, right off the bat, I'm capturing a control post and getting ready to unleash my molten slag fury. New races as well as an expanded 1 player, and an especially great multiplayer are making this shape up to be one of the better RTS titles for 2009.
In closing,
BRB. I need to build another Dreadnought!
