Both have their merits, but the first game holds a firmer grip on my heart. However, it’s happening, which is enough to get me excited, and it’s a return to dropping titanic shells of unimaginable power on unsuspecting armies, rather than frag grenades to clear cover. There’s not a peep from Sega or Relic about what their plans are in that area, if there’s going to be a single-player at all – we’d hope so – or what the business model will be. The question now is if they can make a satisfying campaign that doesn’t devolve into a series of skirmishes as Dark Crusade did, and manages to remain balanced under the weight of dozens of units for an expanding number of factions. Marketing hype aside, humongous death-balls are a bit more in-theme with the universe than the direction DoW2 took things.

Check. The message is bigger, better and exploding more. Powerful super-walkers will tower over the front lines as screen-shaking assaults blister the battlefield in an all-out, over-the-top spectacle.” Dawn of War III immerses players in the escalating brutality of galactic warfare, where they will lead elite hero units and colossal armies to victory, or oblivion. “Building on 12 years of explosive gameplay, Dawn of War III combines the epic scale of Dawn of War, with the customization and elite heroes of Dawn of War II.

They were followed by Tau, Necrons, Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle in Dark Crusade and Soulstorm respectively. Dawn of War shipped with four, adding Chaos to this mix, with the campaign-only Imperial Guard quickly showing up in the first expansion, Winter Assault. It seems unlikely that the roster will halt at three races.
