The plot line in Chaos Rising is a bit more personal than Dawn of War II as you're fighting former space marines and their evil brood instead of the faceless/mindless Tyranids. This time around their mission is to defeat the Chaos Marines and their black magic. The single player campaign picks up right after the events of Dawn of War II. During the four hour press event, I got to play through two of the new single player missions and play a few epic multiplayer matches against some of my fellow press members. The obsession turned turned out to be a good thing as it helped me see all the little changes Relic has made in Chaos Rising.
Not even the siren call of Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 2 could tear me away from Dawn of War II as I started squeezing in sessions before I went to work in the morning and before bed time at night. What started as preparation ended in near obsession as I got further and further into the game. I had played the first few missions of Dawn of War II before getting pulled in a separate direction and had never had the chance to go back and finish the game. To prepare for the Dawn of War II part of the event I fired up my copy of the game so I could gain some insight into what I was going to be seeing. It's been a while since I've done a press junket (which happens when your soon to be former employer takes away three vacation days) and I was pumped to learn more about Metro 2033 and just a bit excited about the Dawn of War II expansion. When THQ invited me to come out to San Fran to check out Metro 2033 and Chaos Rising (the new stand alone expansion pack for Dawn of War II) I thought it would be a nice diversion.
