    Should I get CoH Complete or DoW II?

    I've beaten the original CoH campaign but I lost my disc long ago.  I heard the DoW campaign is pretty innovative (and short), but the new Tales of Valor stuff looks pretty neat, too.
    Which one is worth my money?

    Do you want to play CoH again? If not, go with Dawn of War II. The expansion is good but go for a whole new game if you want something new. DoW II is pretty innovative, yes.

    If you put Dawn of War II singleplayer side by side against the new Tales of Valor campaign, which would offer more bang?

    COH is the kind of campaign that after I've beaten it once, I don't really feel like playing it again, until maybe a long time later.

    I'd go for the new experience..

    CoH, DoW2 is fun but repetitive offline(fun as hell co-op), but the online leaves a bit to be desired.

    It depends on whether you want to play CoH again I guess...ask yourself that first and foremost I'd say. I really enjoyed DoW2 though a lot. The online is far different than the feel you get from the single player game though.

    I bought the CoH complete pack.
    What do I need to install to play what?  I know the Valor is a standalone but I'm confused about what it'll let me play...

    I think you need to have CoH to play the Opposing Fronts expansion but Tales of Valor is standalone.

    Both are pretty awesome but I prefer CoH myself.

    Both are absolutely incredible games, so whichever way you go, you are going to be winning.  I'll say that CoH is a little less of a pain in the ass to play online...but I couldn't pick one of the games over the other.

    I installed ToV on Steam and it has all the campaigns and stuff from all the games.
    Wondered why the download took so long.

    Depends. Do you agree with this statement: "It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself."

    If the answer is yes then It's time you started giving your life to the Imperium of Man.
