Windows 7 - What to Expect From the Dawn of War II Beta

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II won't be gracing PCs worldwide until February 18th, but publisher THQ has seen fit to give players a taste of what's to come with free access to the multiplayer beta. While owners of the Dawn of War: Soulstorm expansion pack have been waging brutal campaigns against one another for the past week, access to the beta is now available for free to anyone with a Steam account.
The beta grants full access to all four of the game's playable races -- the Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Tyranids. You'll be able to square off against opponents on 5 maps, with leaderboards and Games For Windows TruSkill rankings already separating the wheat from the chaff.
This is a strictly multiplayer beta, so unless you're a fan of abject humiliation you'll want to take some time to study, and practice.
Read on for my impressions, and a few tips on making the most of our long wait until the full game is available.
