Misleading press release sells short Dawn of War II multiplayer support
The press release release announcing Dawn of War II features an unfortunate word choice:Warhammer 40,000™: Dawn of War II Launches with Unmatched Multiplayer Action Exclusively on Games for Windows - LIVE.
For the record, this isn't true. Games for Windows Live does indeed match you with an opponent for multiplayer games.
I haven't been playing much lately. Before I go online again, I need to wait until the good players have played more. Then their TrueSkill (tm) ratings will be high enough that I stop getting matched against them. Because right now, going online for matched games of Dawn of War 2 is like volunteering myself to be pummeled with phone books and bars of soap wrapped in pillowcases.
