Relic's released screenshots of the first 2v2 maps headed to Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II in the forthcoming 1.30 patch.
The two maps pictured are Medean Cliff Mines and Ruins of Argus, says the Relic blog, which will be available in both Ranked and Custom matchttp://www.computerandvideogames.com/viewer.php?mode=article&id=214876hes.
"Cliff Mines is an awesome looking map where one team begins in an Imperial mining facility and the other in the open desert," it says.
Ruins meanwhile, "has been referred to internally as a sledgehammer map because of its small size. This map is just slightly larger than a 1v1 map which means no matter where you go you are likely to encounter the enemy."
The 2v2 game mode will launch with its own leaderboards, TrueSkill score and statistics tracking, the developer adds.
Also included in the upcoming patch (which is said to arrive this month) is improved skirmish AI, push-to-talk voice chat and Company of Heroes-style "sub-section options".
