Title: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Segoris on February 09, 2011, 03:59:22 PM If you own any Dawn of War game on steam, go to your library and you have a beta available for Dawn of War 2 Retribution
Also, any Dawn of War 1 or 2 game is half off, except for Retribution packs. The Complete Dawn of War 2 pack is available (including a Retribution expansion) for $60 though, which is pretty good Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Azazel on February 10, 2011, 03:35:45 AM I looked at this, then saw the prices. I wonder if they're Ausfucked again?
As it happens, I can pick up a boxed Chaos Rising for 75% of the Steam sale price. Should it be $19.99? Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Segoris on February 10, 2011, 08:33:41 AM Ausfucked indeed. US price is $9.99

Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Kalle on February 11, 2011, 12:56:39 AM Paypal an American you trust the money and have them gift you the game on Steam. Fixed.
Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Vaiti on February 11, 2011, 01:06:44 AM It seems like a simple solution. I'm originally FROM America and can't manage to get that done. Then again most of my friends I still keep in contact with back in the States are all like "what's a paypal". :?
I've had some people here do it for me every now and then on the random deal where the price difference is really big between the Staes and here, and always on some deal.

I just bought the boxed copies from the UK for AU$15. They should turn up in a week or two. It'll activate in steam anyway, but I'll also have the box/art/manual.

Feel free to PM me any time if you want to grab something. Plus, the Canadian dollar is worth more than the US right now :grin: Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Sky on February 11, 2011, 08:08:33 AM I would've helped Az, but he hates guitar.

Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Malakili on February 12, 2011, 04:51:36 AM I played a game or two of Rebtribution Multiplayer, and I think the game is significantly better than the last time I played it (last summer).
1) GFWL is gone by the looks of it?!?! All I know is where my GFWL info usually showed up, it was my steam info. Hopefully this isn't just for beta or something. 2) The Ui is improved, you can now down vote maps you don't like. 3) The Army painter lets you see how your paint looks on some units besides commanders. 4) Light Vehicle Armor seems a lot less resistant to anti infantry fire, which is good considering the IG get sentinels at NO POWER COST in T1. Hopefully this will mean less hard counters. 5) Imperial Guard is kind of awesome. Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: kildorn on February 12, 2011, 06:13:26 AM GFWL has indeed been taken out back and shot, and replaced with Steamworks.
And IG is indeed pretty awesome, in no small part due to Sents having that bullshit knockback/snare. Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Hawkbit on February 12, 2011, 06:45:08 AM Any chance they pulled GFWL from the first two DoW2 titles?

My first thought as well, that turned me off to online play in DoW so fast when I couldn't even join with someone I wanted to play with without tons of effort. Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Azazel on February 12, 2011, 03:35:51 PM Did they? I've got 2 (disc) copies of DOW2 that I haven't installed for just this reason...
Title: Re: Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 Retribution Beta and 50% off all DoW Post by: Malakili on February 12, 2011, 04:56:00 PM Unless there is some info on their website or somethingabout what will happen to the other games, I suspect we'll have to wait for the expansion to find out. Also - if Chaos Rising is any indication, a lot of the new features minus the IG army and the new single player campaign will be available, so if you want to play Eldar or Space Marines with all the new multiplayer shiny you can probably do that without buying the expo.
