Dawn of War II has gone gold, and will be in retail (US) on Feb 19th.
There is also a multi-player beta that will be availiable tomorrow for owners of Soulstorm. From what I've read, you'll need to install STEAM and activate your Soulstorm key with it (I've done this, and it does take it -- it even downloads it for you, which is pretty sweet). I'm not quite sure what has to be done beyond that, but I should know within 24 hours....
;D

Awww sweet. Loving the look of the game. Played the others to death. Tau FTW. I just love making mincemeat out of armies from a distance I am liking the look of the special squads.

Dude, Farris and I have been playing the shit out of the beta for the last day or so. It kicks ass. We played two full-on annihilation games so far tonight, and they each took over an hour...
If you currently have Soulstorm, and a steam account getting into the beta is *easy*.
All you have to do is go into steam, pull up your main STEAM window, and go to Games | Activate a product on Steam... | Next | I Agree | *enter serial from Soulstorm including hyphens* | Next.
If you don't have Soulstorm, it's currently 7.50 USD in the STEAM store, so I suggest you buy it their. Either way, Soulstorm will then be attached to your STEAM account.
In all honesty, I wish the above worked for more games -- that I can buy them at retail, and play them without STEAM, but also have the *option* of associating them with my STEAM account. If there were no games that actually *required* that I have STEAM installed to play them, and using STEAM were entirely my choice, I'd be much more enthusiastic about STEAM....

I dunno if my laptop could handle DOWII. I only have Dark Crusade installed and I installed it from a friends CD which I no longer have. Game plays without the CD fine anyways. I may grab Soulstorm though.

I may grab Soulstorm though. As I may have said, the last time I looked, SS was 7.50 USD (usually 30), and you need that if you want to play the DOW II MP Beta before the 28th of January. Regardless of when you get into it, you *will* need a STEAM account to play in the beta....

So wait in order to get the beta you need Soulstorm? or can you just download it with STEAM?

No, to get the Beta in the first week you had to have Soulstorm. It's been public for a few weeks now.
All you need to do now is go into your steam account and browse to the beta in the store, and then install it.

I just wanted to update y'all -- I found a torrent of it, and I played it a bunch yesterday -- it kicks ass. I can't wait to play it in co-op...
