WARING SPOILERS MAY BE AHEAD!!!
I have played and finished the Chaos marines and Blood Ravens campaigns(started the eldars) , i loved the storyline a nice sense of closure to the dow Gaberial Angelos saga, so far I was a bit confused at first because i started of as chaos (i love Eliphas even if hes changed voice actors he’s still badass), was shocked to find myself fighting the Alpha Legion but then it all made sense after finishing it and the blood ravens story. Also shocked at who the ancient hero was, wasn't expecting that! Also cool that Abaddon features even if he sounds like your average 2d bad guy.
The ending for Chaos is RUBBISH but it does leave things open for something else to happen were as the marine ending closes up the whole DOW storyline. Wonder which ending will be the cannon and will it go on to DOW 3 (which relic have more or less said its being made) or will DOW 3 be a whole new story?
Pros
- good storyline(for chaos and blood ravens as those who i have played)
- Pretty balanced
- Good conclusion to DOW 1, Dark Crusade and Chaos Rising
- brillant new music
- Get to play as Eliphas again!!!!!
- Baneblade, LandRaider Redeemer!!!
Cons
- Chaos Campaign ending is totally and utterly rubbish, such an anticlimax to a really good last level.
- Campaign missions for each race i have played are the same just different audio/text and cosmetic differences( would have been nice to have had different missions but i guess that would have taken to long to do.)
- Most races get a big super tank or walker except for chaos, all they get are noise marines. I think they should of got Defilers or Obliterators.
- Unit pathing for the big tanks ie land raider, baneblade is pretty poor.
- Army painter for Chaos marines is STILL rubbish i want my multicoloured Chaos marines just like i can with the space marines!
- Collectors Edition in my opinion not very good, i know its the only retail version you can get but you don't get much and contents seems to be different in different countries, i know for a fact one of them gets a t-shirt, think its the US were as the UK gets postcards and a poster. New soundtrack would have been nice.
Cant wait for DOW 3!!!
