I can usually tell If I'm going to like a game or not the first week I buy it. CoD5 didn't make it a week for me, WW2 FPS is so over done. However DoW2 is an awesome RST and I suck at RTS but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. This game really test your mettle in stressful situations, it really gets the "juices" going.
Hope to see you in game Bugger/hivemind, nids are a great race to play along with.
Thanks for the games last night Fossil. Even if though it was a rough series of games I learned some very important lessons. The Orks power is early in the game and slowly diminishes as the game progresses.
Life as an Ork player:
Strengths
* Excel at Melee * Strong Starters * Waagh! bonuses
Weakness
* Weaker at the later tiers * Weaker early suppression * Fragile anti-vehicle units
Now that I know for sure...... Let the games begin! The fact that I am now confident about the Ork's strengths and weakness will allow me to formulate better tactics and strategies. I can't' wait to smash up some Eldar and Space Marines.
You playing tonight Fossil or is Wednesday movie night with the wife?
I have been getting more and more accustomed to using Warp Spiders and the Warp Spider Exarct. Hit and run or porting in a large attack group to hit behind enemy lines is a wonderful thing. Great suppression units at the start.
I had an Ork hit me from various sides as an Eldar and I was toast. I love the orks but I'm better with the eldar.
Petri, one thing you should try is getting some rangers and a Dgun. The gun has limited visibility but the rangers can stealth and get you LOS with your target. Hit the special ability (sorry forgot what is is) and watch the carnage begin!
Rangers are also good against troops in garrisoned in buildings, they have a longer los than other units so you can pick them off with the sniper rifle before they know that hit them. You can use this against other run of the mill supression units as well.
