No doubt there are more than a few reviewers madly playing through Chaos Rising right now as the game is gold. GamesRadar.com's Chaos Rising review is now live, awarding the game a great score of 91% and quite a bit of praise as well:

"It’s games like this that make Relic one of the best PC developers operating today. When I reviewed the outstanding Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, my chief criticism of the campaign was the excessive repetition of simple “fight from point A to point B, then fight a boss” missions. Chaos Rising, the first stand-alone expansion, addresses that issue and then some, building on the strengths of the first game (including post-release enhancements like the addictive Last Stand survival co-op mode) with crack mission design and a new over-the-top evil faction." - GamesRadar.com

Stop in for a read of the full review while we wait for the game to hit the shelves. Next week is going to be big!

With the release of the Chaos Rising expansion on March 11, ALL Dawn of War II owners will have their copy of Dawn of War II updated with additional content.

If you're not yet an owner of the game or haven't convinced your friend to buy it yet, keep an eye out for a Steam sale. This new update to the game includes:


Everything you need to face the forces of Chaos

• New Units for each of our existing races.
  • Space Marine Librarian
  • Eldar Wraithguard
  • Ork Weirdboy
  • Tyranid Tyrant Guard
  • Tyranid Genestealer Brood
• Play with Chaos Rising owners – play against the new Chaos race in multiplayer or alongside two new heroes in The Last Stand.

New Game Mode: Free for All
Battle against five other players in the new Free for all (FFA) game mode where there can be only one victor. Victory points will change hands and knives will be firmly planted into backs as players slowly gain points towards their win. If you’re in the lead, prepare for the onslaught of every other desperate player in the game. The game will also support Team free for all, which sets three teams of two against each other.


New Maps
Seven new multiplayer maps to continue the war on.





We would also like to remind users that there will be a Leaderboard reset when the Chaos Rising update is released. The battle for top spot will start again!

The Chaos Rising update will be available through Steam on March 11.

It was brought to my attention earlier in the week that the sites Terms of Use may be a little too gray in areas and not clear enough. The mods and I talked things out and came up with some updates and changes to help clear some things up. One of the biggest changes you'll see is that the site has moved to a stance of no tolerance with regard to foul language/images. We understand that this may not be a popular decision and we do expect some fallout from the decision, but we decided in order to be taken seriously as a site and a place that would be inviting to a broad range of users, this was the best decision for the site. In turn, we also hope that it will demonstrate a serious and professional attitude should developers wish to use our site to communicate with fans. With that said, we do understand that people slip from time to time, so censors have been put in place to alleviate any unintended attention from the Mods.

Below, you will see the additions/changes that have been added.

Swearing, profanity, sexual references, etc, are strictly forbidden, including all images that are posted on or uploaded to our site. Remember that we have users of all ages and that Warhammer 40K Online should be a welcoming place for everyone to enjoy.

When responding to a thread, avoid posting off topic subjects. While it may seem innocent to post something off topic (OT), threads that may be informative, quickly become irrelevant. People come to Warhammer 40K Online looking for information related to the MMO and other aspects of Warhammer 40,000 and it is considered impolite to "highjack" or "ninja" relevant on topic disucussions. If you would like to post something off topic, it should be created in the "Off Topic" forums.

Forums

• Posts that are in the wrong forum (e.g. modeling questions in the PvP Discussion) will be moved to the correct forum. If your post just disappeared DON'T PANIC! Check the other forums to see if it was moved.
  
• Threads that get long because they have wandered off topic will be closed. People can still read the thread, however no new posts can be added. If you'd like to continue your ideas start a new thread with an appropriate title in the correct forum.
  
• Posts that contain profanity, insults, blatant attempts at baiting a flame war (trolling), racial slurs, etc. will be locked, edited or deleted.
  
• Occasionally whole threads may have to be deleted if they degenerate into a situation described above.
  
• Spam posts (ads, attempts at attention, etc.) will be deleted on sight.
  
• Graphic or otherwise inappropriate images (and even links to such images) will be removed on sight.
  
• Any image attached to a forum post (as opposed to hot-linking to the image from another site) that is not related to gaming or is copyrighted may be deleted.
  
• Any account names, avatars and post signatures that are deemed to be insulting, offensive or which mock a current user will be deleted.

Gallery

• Any inappropriate images (sexual, highly graphic, etc) uploaded to the gallery will be deleted.
  
• Copyrighted or non-gaming related images may be deleted from the Gallery. If you are ever unsure about what images are appropriate, please contact a moderator or administrator ahead of time.
  
• Inappropriate gallery 'tags' and comments (insulting, spam, etc) will be deleted.

Blog

• Articles that contain inappropriate text or images will be edited or deleted.
  
• Copyrighted or non-gaming related images may be deleted from articles. If you are ever unsure about what images are appropriate, please contact a moderator or administrator ahead of time.
  
• Unfinished articles that are not updated for a significant amount of time or that are more appropriate as a forum post may be deleted, although the user will typically be notified first.
