Dawn of War

[JonatanRaven]

Well, I've started playing Dawn of War. Mostly because it's Warhammer 40k and me and my friends have become suckers for table top wargames lately. We haven't started playing 40k because it's so darned expensive and you need to buy a helluva lot of figures. And then there's the painting to do.

Anyways..

Started playing the single player campaign and I wasn't impressed (with the gameplay). It's more or less the same thing as any other rts I've played and the campaign was really predictable. The missions was kind of boring (at least the first eight, which is what I've played so far) and all of them (one exception) could be solved by building up your defence and then swarming the enemy.

I did a quick search on the forum to check who/if any of you played it and what the general thoughts was. I noticed some of you consider it one of the best games ever!?

I just don't know about it. I like it because of the 40k world and the 3d environment, but other than that, it's just mediocre. Seeing as some of you like it that much, what am I missing (except for the multiplayer function of course, see my sig for info on that)?
