dux Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Any of you chaps playing? P.S It's rather good. Changed my mind. Quote
Erratic Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Didn't get Soulstorm. It's open to everyone next week right? Quote
insta Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Didn't get Soulstorm. It's open to everyone next week right? Yepperoonie. The 28th I think. Quote
dux Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Posted January 21, 2009 Soulstorm is 75% off until the 28th. I got it for £4.50 just so I could play the beta now Quote
KoKo5oVaR Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 It's really cool, even almost more slow and static than coh, loving it so far, but i'll need a bit more time to get used to the style of gameplay (and to the universe, i'm not really a fan of warhammer40k even if the carniflex is fucking cool) Quote
st0lve Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 My brother is all over this. I'm not. Yet. Quote
dux Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 My opinion after 2 days of playing: Not as good as Dawn of War 1 Quote
JamesL Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Been umming and ahhing over this one. I really want it to be great but I just have that feeling in the pit of my stomach that I'm going to be disappointed. Anyone want to give a definitive pros n cons list based on the beta? Quote
dux Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 It's just Company of Heroes hiding inside Warhammer 40k. Everything has been scaled down because it's coming out on the 360. Tactical Marines come in 3's, not the standard 10. Devastator squads have to be setup like a sodding machine gun in CoH. Requisition is hilariously bad at the moment. You can't hold any points because you cant build on them. The maps are tiny, all of them. Most of the sync kills are gone. You can't micro. There are barely any units you can upgrade. Vehicles are made out of crackers and... gah. Fucking consoles. Pros? It looks pretty. Quote
KungFuSquirrel Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 It's PC-exclusive... you don't have to like it (I haven't played it yet myself to comment one way or the other), but there's no justifiable way to blame it on consoles To those unsure about Soulstorm: you can get in with a Steam pre-order as well, FYI.

Ginger Lord Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 I should really get around to playing DoW, it's installed but I sort of switched off after a tutorial or two. Quote
KoKo5oVaR Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Since i've played company of heroes with you dux, i'm pretty sure you don't like the game because you are not good at it Quote
dux Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 I'm good at it actually, I was playing with this French guy. And we all know how the French are in War. Quote
