I can get either Warhammer 40K Soulstorm (Which I am getting for a low price of $7.48) or Dawn of war 2. Which is better? I loved company of heroes, and I hear that Dawn of war 2 has many of the same features.

Soulstorm:
PROS:

1 I already have Dark Crusade
2 there are nine races
3 there are aireal units
4 There is a big multiplayer community
5 there are 114 maps

CONS:

1 The campain is too long and gets boring
2 The sisters of battle don't look too promising
3 The Multiplayer community is shifting to DOW 2

Dawn of War 2:
PROS:

1 good graphics
2 ability to take cover
3 can sent troops into a building
4 Tyrands are introduced
5 Vehicles are properly ized (That always annoys me in strategy games)

CONS:

1 only 4 races
2 only one building, the command center
3 Small population cap

PLEASE Help me choose I am torn!

I'm adding a new con for Soul Storm
Con:

. in order to play all the races you need:

. Warhammer 40,000 dawn of war

. Warhammer 40,000 Winter assault

. Warhammer 40,000 the dark crusade

. soul storm is an expansion you need Dawn of war to even play it.

Well the decision is completely up to you, but I would have to urge you towards DoW2. Why? Because DoW2 has a truly "Tactical strategy" due to the large use of cover, and no base building. If you're a more traditional strategy fan, and REALLY like DoW1 then you would likely be more inclined to want Soulstorm.

I will warn you though, DoW2 uses STEAM for the install so If you have any issues with STEAM, I would not recommend getting it.

Not positive, but I hear DOW2 has a lot of bugs. The tabletop game is so much better. I play Tyranids, and they're bad...

Dow2 playing it for a while done the campaign some multiplayer action havnt found a single iota of a problem or bug,

Soulstrom was extreamly rushed some with very large flaws, google them cba posting them lol, soulstorm you dont need the other packs to play the nine races, campagin gets repetive gets repetive gets quick gets repetive. No story.

+ side to soulstrom you get to build a base, attack enemy strongholds. ect. never finished it baecase of boring-ness but thats just me.

DOW2 you can use 4 squads a level, out of 6? cant really remember,
each are very unique in thier standing. Defend missions become a pain in the arse... but offer benefits.

go for DOw2 but it is your decision, dow2 is very fun hint hint

lol
good hunting

Lost in a world unbroken, Humbled by a word unspoken, Found in a heartless token, Killed at hands blood red soaken, Stilled by thier eyes so wide... and open...

I was kind of hoping you were asking about the tabletop game, since i think that's way cooler than the video games, but oh well. I thought about getting into the fantasy warhammer game a while ago, but i decided against it.

I can't really say which one to go for, but instincts tell me you should go for DOW2. Never played it, just think you should go with that one.
