Here is the official word...
Standalone Expansion to Real-Time Strategy Franchise Introduces Chaos Space Marines, Delivers an Intense Single Player Campaign and Offers All-New Multiplayer Content
AGOURA HILLS, Calif. September 21, 2009 -- THQ Inc. (NASDAQ: THQI) today announced Warhammer® 40,000TM: Dawn of War® II – Chaos RisingTM, the next standalone chapter in the critically acclaimed Real-Time Strategy (RTS) series, is scheduled for release on Games For Windows-LIVE in spring 2010. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising features a new playable army, the traitorous Chaos Space Marines, and continues the epic journey of the Blood Ravens as they battle this new, more personal enemy. Developed by award-winning internal studio Relic Entertainment, Chaos Rising offers new single-player and co-op campaigns, a level cap increase from 20 to 30, more powerful war-gear and a suite of innovative multiplayer options. The exclusive first look preview of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising will be featured in PC Gamer’s December issue, available on newsstands by October 12.
“Chaos Rising delivers a tremendous amount of new content, including the powerful Chaos Space Marines, new multiplayer maps and units, a new level cap and a continuation of the Blood Ravens single player campaign,” said Kevin Kraff, vice president of global brand management, THQ. “Relic’s passion for the Warhammer 40,000 universe and talent in crafting innovative RTS games will ensure Chaos Rising is an engaging experience that will advance the franchise and genre.”
“Dawn of War II took intimate brutality to another level and introduced RPG-RTS hybrid gameplay,” said Jonathan Dowdeswell, general manager, Relic Entertainment. “The epic struggle between Space Marines and the forces of Chaos lets us take those two game-play elements and create an even more intense experience – this time, the battle is personal.”
About Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising
Set in the grim, war-ravaged world of Games Workshop’s vast Warhammer 40,000 science fiction universe, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising transports players into the midst of an intergalactic war between ancient enemies. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II – Chaos Rising introduces the Chaos Space Marines as a new playable army, continues the single player campaign from the original Dawn of War II, delivers all new wargear and raises the level cap from 20 to 30. Relic Entertainment will also deliver new multiplayer maps and new units for the Orks, Eldar, Tyranids and Space Marines. Veterans of the Dawn of War II single player campaign can use their existing squads’ accumulated wargear, abilities and experience to battle the traitorous Chaos Space Marines of the Black Legion throughout 20 new missions. Newcomers to Dawn of War II will begin the single player campaign with a squad of Space Marines fully equipped to take on the malevolent forces of Chaos. Powerful Chaos tainted wargear can be equipped and used against your enemy, but doing so could lead to dreadful consequences. Will you risk corruption for power?

Particularmente, no me gusta.
Añaden una raza popular, pero que no deja de ser un Ryu/Ken con los actuales marines.
Era totalmente de esperar pero habría preferido a los TAU, Necrones o Fuerzas imperiales.
Me acabo de hacer caquita.... pero caquita.
La raza que más esperaba era el Caos, junto a la GI. Es verdad que quizá sean muy parecidos (o no, depende de cómo se lo curren), pero para los aficionados al universo Warhammer 40k, la épica de poder recrear las batallas de los marines leales contra los del Caos es impagable. Además, por lo que veo, han añadido nuevos tipos de mapas. A los tipicos urbanos, desiertos y junglas añaden mapas con hielo, por lo que veo.
Y nuevas unidades para todas las razas + 1 nueva raza, en un juego con el balanceo tan ajustado como el DoW2, puede cambiar la jugabilidad considerablemente.
Esta primavera estoy como un clavo en la tienda a por mi copia.
Aun así me da la impresión de que la unidad de élite de los Marines, si la de los Eldar es un Avatar eldar, la de los marines debería ser un Primarca, que es lo que está a la altura, representado como un Astartes el doble de grande que el resto y poderoso como un Avatar eldar. La escuadra de Exterminadores como escuadra "gorda" de los Marines se me antoja pequeña.
Y, siendo coherentes, añadir a las Fuerzas Imperiales es un poco... forzado. A ver, nos presentan a los Astartes como superhombres que cada uno dobla en estatura a un humano normal, armados con superarmaduras del copón que potencian TODAVIA MAS su fuerza.... si añadimos a la Guardia Imperial con escuadras de, por ejemplo. 6 hombres (hombres normales), ¿qué oportunidad tienen ante escuadras de tres Astartes cuando cada uno de ellos podría matar a 50 Guerreros Imperiales con sus manos?
Al final van a tirar por expansiones para añadir razas. Se veía venir, pero es una pena.
Y parece que la campaña va a ser Space Marines Only otra vez.
#1955 Un Primarca no es una unidad de elite, es un ejercito de un solo hombre, un ser de una fuerza que no conoce rival en el universo. A parte los Cuervos Sangrientos no saben ni quien es su primarca, y aunque lo supieran los que no están muertos estan missing. Es como pedir que metan al Emperador o a El Dragón.
Como mucho un líder de capitulo.
#1907 no vienen de los angeles sangrientos? creo que eso pone en el codex :3 asi que su primarca esta muerto xD
No mola eso de tener una unidad superpetada de todo, no tiene sentido excepto en el avatar xD para los marines no existe esa forma de lucha, ademas, que primarca pondrian? si creo que no queda ninguno vivo xD Lo que si meterian seria una maquina estilo land raider, o el land raider ultra, que tiene no se cuantos cañones laser a costa de perder el transporte >.<
En el caos seguro que esta el devorador de almas :S, que asco le tengo xD
Han actualizado el comandante con retro o es de la campaña? por cierto, el dread antitanque... lo que me faltaba por ver xD
me hubieran gustao + los necrones por ejemplo, si, esta bien eso del bien vs el mal usando las mismas tropas y modificandolas de color y dos chorradas + ...pero se lo podrian haber currao y haber metido alguna otra raza, la GI tb hubiera stao bastante wapa
El concept art es la paja
#1958 Creo que va conmigo XD:
Los Cuervos Sangrientos no tienen ni idea de quien es su Primarca. Todos los archivos de la época de la Herejia de Horus se han perdido o son mantenidos en extrictisimo secreto. Esto, unido a la altisima y anormal cantidad de psiquicos que se encuentran entre sus filas hace que muchos capítulos desconfíen de los Cuervos Sangrientos.
Vamos, que no se sabe si es un capitulo leal de una legión traidora, un capitulo traidor que ha vuelto a cambiar de bando que ha hecho desaparecer su pasado, o un capitulo huerfano de una de las legiones leales.
Si os fijais en las campañas de DOW1 (excepto la primera) los Cuervos siempre están en la zona de guerra para proteger "secretos del capitulo"
En DOW2 tenemos muchas armas que han intercambiado con capítulos como los Salamandras o los Ángeles Sangrientos. Los Cuervos gustan mucho de pedir a otros capítulos permiso para venerar a sus Primarcas.
En cuanto a primarcas pues los que no están muertos o bien son traidores (y estos también estan mayormente muertos) o están desaparecidos en combate (caso Rauss, que se fue al Ojo del Terror y aun no ha vuelto)
Siempre tenemos a los dos primarcas desconocidos, pero esos no se sabe ni quienes son.
Pero los Cuervos Sangrientos no son un capítulo que se inventaron para los videojuegos??? Pregunto.
En cuanto a lo de poner un primarca, no pondría a uno en concreto, con sus nombres y apellidos, sino en plan general: "Primarca". Lo invocas y sale a la batalla a dar ostias. Que cuál es? Pues ya tu si quieres te haces pajas y le pones nombres o lo que sea. Si quieres ser coherente con la historia, pues que hagan que no aparezca en campaña, ya que los primarcas están todos perdidos efectivamente. Pero para las escaramuzas no veo el problema. Los comandantes tampoco tienen nombre. Son, simplemente, "comandantes". Y ya... luego flípate tú mentalmente y ponle nombres. No sé si entendeis la filosofía de lo que quiero decir.
el modo supervivencia lo han puesto ya?? xDD
Yo sobre al expansion lo unico que deseo es que se pueda distinguir entre capitulos.. tipo age of empires k son tos iguales cambiando el skin y alterando un poco la rareza de las tropas y añadiendo +1 unidad unica. 
#1962 Si, son inventados para los Dawn of War. Pero han alcanzado bastante popularidad. Y el lore que he puesto se saca de los juegos, no hace falta ni irse a las novelas ni nada parecido.
En cuanto a poner un "Primarca" cualquiera pues seguimos teniendo dos cosas:
1: El nivel de poder. Los primarcas se cargan un Avatar sin sudar. No es solo su fuerza de combate, sino sus poderes psiquicos.
2: Cada Primarca es diferente y único. Alinear un marine espacial random y ponerle "primarca" de nombre es una de las patadas mas grandes al lore del juego que se puedan hacer.
3: En ningún juego de Games Workshop se ha podido jugar con un Primarca, probablemente por las razones que he puesto. Todo lo que hace Relic con el juego tiene que ser aprobado por GW.
Pedir Primarcas en Dawn o War es como pedir bombas nucleares para los Aliados en Company of Heroes.
Hombre, según las novelas, Fulgrim "sudó" un poco para cargarse incluso a un Señor Espectral Eldar él mismo.... cierto es también que luego se petó a un Avatar Eldar... pero tanto como "sin sudar". Estuvo ahi ahí la cosa.... pero bueno, supongo que si Games Worshop no quiere que se juegue con Primarcas por algo será... pero hay que reconocer que tiene que ser un espectáculo poder invocar y ver a uno en el campo de batalla, eh?
Que decepcion, me esperaba al menos 2 razas por exp, la verdad es que se veia venir por las votaciones en el foro oficial que seria el caos, pero es como decis es como Ryu vs Ken, TAU,necrones o GI me llamaban bastante mas.
Cuesta 15 euros, no seas rata.
Y va por GFWL, asi que creo que no hay online que valga fuera del oficial.
45€ o 50€ que timos... si me valió a mi el día de lanzamiento 30€ :S
http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/5380006/Warhammer-40000-Dawn-Of-War-II/Product.html
17€ con envío gratis a casa. En g2play.net esta a 20€, pero se ha visto por bastante menos, el precio oscila bastante.
12 días después
En 24 horas sale la actualización con el nuevo modo de juego "The Last Stand" y se updatea el multiplayer.
