What of the multiplayer itself? Well, it hasn't enjoyed anywhere near as sweeping changes. I hit the raised level cap a good few missions before the end, which killed the impetus a little. It's what Dawn of War II should have been, though sadly it's a little on the short side. There's no saving it all up for skirmish and multiplayer here - by removing the old rules, Relic is able to rocket-launch the story missions to brand new places. Again, it's a long way from being strategy as you know it, but there probably hasn't been a single-player RTS campaign this enjoyable since WarCraft III. The story's good too, mostly due to that thing I can't tell you about, and because your lovely/nasty actions will affect its outcome. DOWII's handful of rinse-and-repeat arenas seem like a slightly boring dream once you're brain-deep in Chaos Rising. Taint Your Wagon (25 points): Destroy a Wartrukk with a Noxious Cloud during a Ranked game in Chaos Rising.Relic has come up with a clutch of ways to raise the stakes, sensibly giving up on any lingering pretence that DOWII's single-player is anything like a traditional RTS in favour of plunging you into enormous fights that, while they might look unwinnable, are invisibly tilted in your favour.
