The Soulstorm expansion for Dawn of War, a PC real-time strategy game set in the Warhammer 40k universe, was released a couple of week ago. The stand-alone expansion featured two new playable armies and added aerial units to the mix, as well.

Over at Gamespot, the fans reaction to the changes has been mixed. Here are a couple of choice excerpts from the debate.

First we have “midn8t,” doing his best to articulate his feelings (via his thumbs and a broken keyboard, apparently):

warhamemr 40,000 RTS was nice wow it lasted but the thing kills it for me is the zoom level sucks, along wiht fact that I like table top game better.

This expasion pack seems bit weak though. I just wish they would realse the turn based table top game on the PC. it be a killer money making schem, You have the stand alone game for 45 to 50$ comes with one army, and thent they could sell speter army pack booters for 25$ or so each.

but Ill stick wtih my superem commander for a RTS..

“LegionofClouds,” on the other hand, is more concerned about stability and balance issues, not to mention the terrifying prospect of being violated from above:

I kind of feel the air will be unbalanced and make the whole new equation much more harder to balance which will either lead to :
a) A long time and many patches before the air is finally settled into its own niche
OR b) Not balanced at all leading to horrible air rape games

You heard the man — KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES!
