Been chatting it up over at Relicnews recently about Dawn of war 2 and its lackluster multiplayer mode suite. Basically it's all down to holding map points to whittle down tickets. It's the most boring way to win, ever. So we've been brainstorming and thinking about new modes that could work well within the framework.
Some Relic guy pops in and says "they have something in the works", and we all get stoked. Whoa, what are they up to? Turns out Relic's new amazing fix for this problem is a cooperative survival mode, which is neither a fix for boring VS mode, but also a pretty shitty type of co-op play.
 
Seriously, i can't remember a single time survival mode felt like any fun to play. Horde in Gears 2 came close, but mostly because you can feasibly win that mode. A mode about simply staying alive for the longest, do anyone REALLY find this kind of play entertaining?
 
I would love to hear some stories or examples. I just can't fathom why this mode keeps showing up in multiplayer games.
