DoW Single Player

[Vhaeraun]

Is the DoW single player supposed to be really short? I finished the mission where I released the daemon from the Maledictum on accident, and the credits rolled. I have Winter Assault, but I don't wanna start that till I'm sure there isn't any more missions I missed for some reason...

The Dawn of War campaign was substandard, really. All the missions had roughly the same objective and you could only play as the Space Marines. To answer your question, that's the end of the campaign.

So, the daemon is free and I can't do shit about it? That makes me sad. I wanna kill a daemon :<

DoW single player modes are generally dull, underdeveloped and devoid of any real twists. The characters are the only things that make them interesting.

Dark Crusade's campaign goes some way to fixing the brevity and bad scripting of the predecessors, but even this mode is a little flawed.

Still an entertaining game though, just not the most ground-breaking stories. It all seems very minor and small scale. The battle for Kronus in DC at least seems like it's having a shot at being 'epic'.

Maybe it's because it has a narrator? *shrugs*

Winter Assault had the best single-player, I don't care what anyone says.

I most definitely agree, winter assault had awesome campaign, I do like dark crusade too, it is fun to play all the races but all the levels are the same regardless of the race you play and defense is unbelievably simple. If an enemy takes an area then you attack, they have no defenses, if you then get attacked then you have all your defenses. Except when your HQ is attacked, in which case you start off with nothing. It would make sense that an attacking army would have a fairly well supplied starting point and the defender has lots of defenses but still has to bring in an attacking force, such as how the attacks on the HQ go. And in the case of areas used to stage an attack onto a level which is a strategic point/weak point to attack a stronger area, both side would be equally prepared, like all other levels. It just seems that all the levels except HQ levels are weak points when attacking and HQ levels when defending.

Indeed, but it still, as RTS storylines go, wasn't groundbreaking. As EXP packs go, Command and Conquer EXPs have had better stories.

Again, it's the characters that salvage most of these campaigns, really.
