call me crazy, but I prefered (and still prefer) the original.
not that HW2 isn't an excellent game with some great eye-candy, mind you . . .
but I think HW1 was much better, especially in the story department. It was so fantastic . . . you being the last surivivors of your race, carrying 600,000 frozen civilians, fighting for existance and a homeworld. It was so well done.
The second story was kinda weird bordering on stupid at points.
Anywho, you should be able to pick up HW1 somewhere for next to nothing.
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War is also excellent.
