GameSpot's Exclusive Multiplayer Preview
A short time ago we put a build of Chaos Rising in front of members of the press. The smack talk started almost immediately and they plunged into some games, yes including multiplayer with Chaos! GameSpot's preview is the first to go live, as they share their experiences playing Chaos Rising:
"We had the opportunity to play through a handful of head-to-head skirmishes and some free-for-all matches as well, and found Chaos to be a faction that seems to benefit from leapfrogging from expansion to expansion, capturing a key strategic point and fortifying it as soon as possible. Although the faction has powerful military units, its basis of support lies with heretic units--these are now used to build supporting shrine structures (best placed near control points), and can then be used to worship at these shrines. Depending on which commander you've chosen, worshipping at a shrine will produce different effects--chaos lord shrines will briefly summon some bloodletter melee daemons that will disappear after a short period; plague champion shrines will heal nearby allies; and chaos sorcerer shrines will cause nearby units to infiltrate and can also fire energy bolts like a turret." - GameSpot
