. The Story Continues
It is the distant future and the Imperium of Man has spread
across the entire galaxy. But our days of expansion are long
past. Once, when the Emperor of Man led us in battle, we were
unstoppable, but no longer. The Emperor has withdrawn to Earth to
rule from his Golden Throne, leaving us to fight a thousand wars
of attrition in his name where our defenders die by the billions.
We have little hope for support from Earth and we are losing the
battle for human survival. Our only chance lies with the Space
Marines, genetically modified warriors of superhuman ability and
the pinnacle of human potential. But the Space Marines are few,
the galaxy is large and our enemies are countless. The situation
is most dire in Sub-Sector Aurelia. It is from this cluster of
worlds on the very edge of the Imperium that came the Blood
Ravens, a chapter of the Emperor's own Space Marines. Now savage
aliens seek to overrun the sector, and break the Blood Ravens
once and for all. Captain Davian Thule and a handful of Space
Marines lead the raw recruits defending these worlds. Yet,
another Space Marine prepares to join this desperate battle, a
newly promoted Commander, ready to lead in our darkest hour. You
are this Space Marine.
Playable Factions

Marines are the pinnacle of human potential, but there are fewer

sophisticated technology. One-time masters of the galaxy, but now
few in number they would sacrifice billions of humans to save a
handful of their own. The Ork Menace

galaxy from end to end. These aliens are brutal combatants and an
uprising in their ranks that can topple entire systems if not
stamped out quickly. The Tyranids

intelligence, the Tyranids exist solely to strip the universe
bare to feed their endless appetites. They are without number,
without fear and without mercy.

Gameplay
Dawn of War II is split between campaign-based gameplay playable
as a Space Marine, supporting singleplayer and co-op action, and
skirmish gameplay in which players can play as any of the four
playable factions in singleplayer or multiplayer battles. In the
case of these multiplayer conflicts, gameplay and matchmaking is
supported via the Games for Windows LIVE gaming service. In
addition, unlike previous Dawn of War games or expansions, Dawn
of War II features an increased and more realistic acknowledgment
of the importance of cover. To that end players will notice that
some environments in-game are now fully or partly destructible by
certain units in their arsenal, adding to the battlefield carnage
and the need for players to plan their strategy and choose their
playable units and battlefields wisely.
