Dawn of War 2: Retribution 'Launch' trailer prepares us for battle
by Xav de Matos, Feb 25, 2011 9:00pm PSTOn March 1, developer Relic Entertainment plans to unleash its latest onslaught against our spare time with Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2 - Retribution.
If you aren't sure what the latest battle to the death in the RTS series is about, publisher THQ has released a new trailer that explains the motivation for war starring a number of characters in the stand-alone expansion to help explain the situation. Basically, kill everyone that isn't on your side.
It goes without saying that the game looks nothing like the trailer; however, based on our recent time with the game and in interviewing its producer Jeff Lydell, we're of the mind that it could be just as intense.
Also intense? Multiple pre-order bonuses based on where the game is pre-purchased. But this is more of the burning in the pit of our gut kind of intense.

Easy way: one side is Marines, the other Chaos.
Hard way: One side is Marines, the other a swarm like Nids or Orks.
To balance the 'hard way' option, you could have differing number of players on the Marine and Nid sides. Like 1:2 Marines:Tyranids. Or, you could pull a L4D, where Tyranid players are comparatively weaker, but there is an AI swarm of termagants/hormagants that continuously spawn.
Fuck, someone make this game.
