Dawn of War

[McNeo]

I play DoW a bit but the gameplay is way to linear. You do this, then that, that, then this, and then you have the baneblade. Its too generic to be great. The capture system is also wierd, and doesnt suit a game like that. Its much more suited to CoH.

Supreme Commander. Now thats a unique game. The basic units are the same but it has alot more use of tactics. There is a counter to everything aswell.

Example:

Enemy builds bombers - you build fighters - they build mobile ground AA - you build ground attach units - they build artillery - you build destroyers for fire support - the enemy builds subs - you build torpedo defence....etc

there is always a new tactic to learn in supcom. Its not a game where knowing the hotkeys count, but how strategically minded the person is.

DoW pales in comparison to SupCom and AoE II. And Galactic battlegrounds clone campaigns (i like the generic ones AoE style alot)
