February 15, 200521 yr Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War have done very well and I guess it's no shock to anyone that the expansion was just announced. Winter Assault is the name of the expansion, and it will add the Imperial Guard as a playable race amongst other things. Expected release is fall 2005, so it should be a nice addition to UFO:Aftershock. Here's for hoping they expand the single-player campaign to more than one race! If you haven't heard of Dawn of War for some reason, you can find a list of reviews at GameRankings and our very popular DoW thread here. And if you like the multi-player part, you can find Aralez's neat maps and more at his site.
February 15, 200521 yr At a first sight this looks like good news, but they will only add the Imperial Guard as a new race (which is basically already in the game), something that already has been made by modders (Cadian Inquisition Mod). The Daemonhunter Mod is even better and adds more units and models than the official expansion will do! And it is out already! And it is for free.... Damnit, i think they lost a loyal player and mapmaker....
February 15, 200521 yr Not necessarily! I saw the official screenshots and the official statement what will be included and it is: The imperial guard and one tank, duh :lol: Remember, i told you the "Aliens vs. Predator" film will be terrible and i was right, so why should i be wrong here? :lol:
February 15, 200521 yr Hey, I didn't think AVP was that bad. And how did Slaughter beat us to this!! Hang our heads in shame methinks.... Iys a shame they have gone for the easy option of the IG, but as Slaughter says lets keep our fingers crossed... An what a tank, Baneblade I think...
February 16, 200521 yr Author Not necessarily! I saw the official screenshots and the official statement what will be included and it is: The imperial guard and one tank, duh :lol: Remember, i told you the "Aliens vs. Predator" film will be terrible and i was right, so why should i be wrong here? :lol:Bah, you're a nitwit and you know it! Seriously though, my guess is that people who want more SP action will enjoy themselves, but also complain that the expansion is too short (it will probably be no bigger than the one in DoW). People who want more content for MP however, may end up disappointed because the only "added" race already exist in the game as you point out. Time will show. And shagpuss is right, shame on you!
February 16, 200521 yr I don't know if you've already seen these DoW: WA popsicles Relic aired, but I'll post the links anyway. :: Lookie:- https://www.relic.com/whatsnew/2005/02.15/baneblade_001.jpg- https://www.relic.com/whatsnew/2005/02.15/baneblade_002.jpg- https://www.relic.com/whatsnew/2005/02.15/baneblade_003.jpg- https://www.relicnews.com/images/dow/screen...htm?snow_05.jpg
February 16, 200521 yr Heh it was a Baneblade!! God i'm a saddo! I hope you can jsu roll over enemy troops like the mammoth tank in C&C, I can just hear those bones a crunching! More multiplayer options and tweaks would be good! I look forward to a day when I can play a 8 player map using a different race for all players!
February 16, 200521 yr That were the pics i was talking about, Thorondor. As i said: one tank and the already existing imperial guard. And i wanted to post about the expansion, too. But as i had to work until 20:30 Slaughter was faster, so i don't take the "shame-card"
February 16, 200521 yr A thats not goin to be the complete article you know! Working till 830, thats a BIG shame card!
February 17, 200521 yr Author And i wanted to post about the expansion, too. But as i had to work until 20:30 Slaughter was faster, so i don't take the "shame-card" I posted this when the birds started singing outside, well over bed time for most people... (I think I did at least...)
