For those that haven't gotten around to checking out Relic's Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War 2, a new singleplayer demo has now been released to give you a taste.
The 330MB demo can be found on Steam (As the game uses Steamworks copy protection), but you can also pick up the same package
locally from AusGamers.
The demo reportedly offers a couple of sameple missions from the game's campaign mode. For more information about Dawn of War 2, check out AusGamers
in-depth review.

Equally frustrating was the strength and rejuvenation of the various shields employed by Eldar war heroes if they were allowed to amass enough power. Orks are tough and competitive but haven't received the same criticism on balance issues.
The latest patch has been a deliberate attempt by Relic to change the metagame in particular by lengthening the game due to the cost of early startup units add-ons.
There will be more balance change to come but I welcome this interesting experiment.
As with most recent RTS, while the single player campaign is fun, the complexity of multi-player and the evolving metagame is where the real enjoyment comes in.

A great example can been seen from two replays i recently watched on gr.org where in the first an Eldar player opened with 2 guardians and one banshe then used warp spiders, which under the last patch were seldom used.
The second replay saw the Eldar player skip tier 2 all together and went straight to 2 fireprisms. Both openings showed great innovation and development of the metagame.
