:O what?! but i want all three bonus packs.

Edit: Games pre-order bonus:

The following GAME Exclusive downloadable content is included:

* "Armour of the Destroyer"
* "Purge of Victory Bay" Heavy Bolter
* "Unerring Thunderbolt" Missile Launcher
* One unique chapter: "Novamarines"
* Four exclusive metallic colours

Downloadable Content Description:
"Sergeant Avitus wields the heaviest weapons in the Space Marine arsenal. Equip him with this unique armour, heavy bolter and missile launcher, and exterminate the xenos! Also includes the Novamarines armour pattern, and four additional army painter colours."

That's a bit odd, having different stuff from different places, I don't like that!

And what are Steam doing, then!

i suppose that way, if you like Devastators, Scouts or Assault, you would pre-order with that particular shop.

Steam probs aint doing feck all lol...

if you guys can view that thread, then great! if not ill post all the details, but it would appear you can get possibly 5/6 different sets of gear, depending on where you pre-order the game. Now try and pick one xD lmao...

Pebbles

Interesting, but tbh, I'll just go Steam/cheapest if I do get it.

*BUMP*

DoW2 beta out today for all those that have activated Soulstorm on Steam.

2gb download, ive left my pc on at home downloading it lol..

Pebbles

Yeah, you can have it if you've got SoulStorm on Steam, or have preorded DoW2 through Steam. I think you may be able to activate your retail key on Steam aswell.

I should get graphics on max, may install it, dunno if I should with my uni internet, though.

Disk Version, I Activated my version on steam, so now i have to re-install soulstorm and the beta.

dont need to install soulstorm to get the beta to work btw...i installed mine seperately from Steam, and just activated the cd key through it, still worked.

Pebs

Hmmm... I'm debating whether to buy Soulstorm on steam... Its only £4.25! but will any of you still play it when DOW2 comes out?
And is it worth having as a standalone?
Or will I end up just getting it for early beta access then never playing it?

You can put all your CD keys into the Steam SS to use the other races, I think (or it's done by relic account or whatever). If you have SS already you can just put the key into Steam.

i did, But I May Aswell Register And Install Through Steam, So i Never Need Disk... Wolf, Ile Play With you

I've got SS & DOW2 beta now

I'll probably be on them tonight.

my DOW 2 had an error when i tried loading up this morning now i have to re-download it.

be lucky you can play the game at all

sucks for me, tried last night and my gfx card is too old

Pebs

haha *nudge nudge* get saving

monies not the problem the problem is i know feck all about computers but a mate of mine is gunna have a butchers at it and see what the hoo-ha-and-whatsit is....

Pebbles

can't play

it mentions a missing ordinal

I'm apparantly missing d3dx9_39.dll. I'm going with a Vista issue.

EDIT: Found the apparant fix for mine - latest DX required.

Technically, a 64bit issue. It needed to find the 32bit version of that file cos the games 32bit

Played it, very different, pretty fun, massive network issues, though. We actually finished a game and on TS Reb was still playing the same game because he got split.

i had that once or twice on the older games. i like how when a player lags out, the AI takes over now. having your team bugger off was so annoying.
its very very different but, the Avatar Approves






note: i got completly raped that game xD
