[GrimAtrament]

i was acualy looking to get into the warhammer 40,000 and getting this game (i was looking for a new RTS to play) but after all i heard about all the factiosn guess ill give this game a miss :|

[IRISH_DEVIL13]

there maybe more factions coming. but i recomend you get dawn of war 1

Guess you skipped starcraft...dow2...and all the other good rts games as well because "pff only 3 well designed and balanced factions"

This is also 40k with 12 factions and several hundred subfactions. I've found RTS games with only 3 factions tend to get old real fast. Where as Soul Storm and Age of Empires II have managed to keep me well invested simply because there is more to fight. Meaning battles can be completely varried.

They will probably do the same with as with dow 1 where with each game they add 3 factions

dawn of war launched with chaos, sm, eldar, orks.

dawn of war winter assault launched with imperial guard

dark crusade launched with tau and necrons

soulstorm launched with sisters of battle and dark eldar

dawn of war 2 launched with sm, chaos, orks, eldar

chaos rising launched with imperial guard.

For more race, the only answer are 3 letters: "DLC".

Incorrect, Chaos Rising launched with Chaos as a playable faction. Retribution came with Imperial Guard.

First DoW with Soulstorm was.. well, word awesome wouldn't be enough to describe it. I REALLY wish that there will be that many races.

[Millerbertinho]

I love the Imperial Guard and I don't think they are in.. which is very sad.

There will be three factions on start, but it doesn't mean there won't be another groups absolutely, it only shows, that developers are concentrated on equitable balance, which is extremily important, especially for multiplayer. There might be various expansions in future, including new factions.

Nice speculation. Too bad there is absolutely no supportive evidence that Relic is going to balance any of the three factions in the least. If CoH2 is any indication of how they're going to proceed with balancing this game, then we actually have evidence to the contrary.

They'll do what they did with CoH2 and DoW: Retribution when it comes to DLC: cut things down as small as they can, put as little work into it as possible, then sell it for an over-blown price. Why make a "full Race Pack expansion" when they can just throw individual specialty call-downs out for five bucks a pop or new armies with no standalone content for 30 bucks each?

[Joppsta]

If they give this game the CoH2 treatment then I'm never buying another Sega game again quite frankly.

Sega ruined COH with their DLC ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ all over it and they're not getting anymore of my money to ruin more franchises. Vote with your wallets if it turns out they pull that ♥♥♥♥ again.
