Dawn of War 2 and Duke Nukem

THQ went ahead and finally released the long promised single player demo for Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War II.

Steam is still being used to update the main commercial version of the game with a new patch released last Monday that fixes some issues and added a free multiplayer map. Now Steam owners who haven't bought Dawn of War II yet can get a 25 percent discount. The price cut ends on Monday.

Presidentof 3D Realms George Broussard (developer of the alleged Duke Nukem Whenever game), in a recent message on his own Twitter site he posted up this message (complete and unedited):

Closing out a milestone this week. 71 more tasks to do and we started with probably 800-900. Been a good push. Next one starts Monday.

That tweet has apparently caught several web sites attention as they posted up several totally speculative articles about what he meant. According to The Escapist (qouted via bigdownloads), it means that 3D Realms' long-in-development shooter Duke Nukem Forever is "about 85% complete". What? Broussard only says they are closing out a milestone. We have no idea what milestone they have reached and what it might mean to the development of the entire game.

I consider this games release date to be roughly as elusive as the giant squid.
