Often a close combat unit will engage with pistols at point blank or will not help at all if it has no ranged weapons.
* Only three factions, although I do not remember if DOW2 originally was only 3 factions as well. * Hide pads and shield positions just seemed more like an arena pre-made to fight on than a battlefield. * ELITE units that even though they are powerful do not completely negate the use of troops, even though the top tier elites can be devestating. * More cartoonish graphics (but hey the graphics are sharp and 40k is bright and cartoonish on the tabletop). * Less customisation due to the direction they took with regard to more units that are more specialised units and larger armies. Often units fire through terrain to make things simpler I guess. I originally did not like the idea of DOW3 for several reasons and would still like them changed (however development has officially ceased): So you get imperial guard and some other changes like being able to build terminators from base buildings and large ork squads.
We recently found a mod, dawn of war - rework 2 (which will not have any further development) that added all of the campaign units into the skirmish mode\multiplayer mode. Use the army painter and choose our ELITE units, which can also be turned off I believe. We turn off the orbital strike style global abilities, put on annihilation mode instead of power core mode. Yes that was not a typo, I like DOW3 better than DOW2. I want a mod that really just polishes up the old graphics to hopefully compare with either 2 or 3. Now I am going waaay back to DOW1 Soulstorm. In Dow3 you can at least reach a point where you have a solid front line in most maps. The battle ends up being one of you chasing your tail. Lower pop cap means less ability to cover a front line. * The battles are less organised and more skirmish like because the AI loves to run into rear areas more. So the tech tree feels very one dimensional * Interface is clunky and I find scrolling in general less smooth * Lots more customisation of the troops themselves I have to say I was not really that excited about DOW2 because of a number of things when I went back and tried it again I have been going back and trying the older dawn of war games.
