Warhammer 40K Space Marine

I would love an FPS series or even a multi species (army or whtever) online game similar to Star Wars Battlefront - I think that could work really well. Have so many on each side of each differnt race and have them all battling!

This game is obviously done in a Gears of War style, but Space Marines dont take cover - straight in!!

See i dont think it was, but I can see the comparison (which they embrace as a compliment) but you play it very differently.

I can see the *walk in, shoot until they're close then use melee attacks* kind of gameplay getting boring quite quickly, for me anyway. Hopefully there is alot more to it than what I saw in the demo though :)

Ah you see, i sprint, throw grenades and Melee. In another life i was an Assault Marine. Speaking of which, I hope there is Terminator Armor
 
I just played the demo, and it's pretty bland.

The combat is okay, the jet pack is awful, the camera angle is poor, and the voice acting was so odd I couldn't stop laughing.

It'd be a decent rental, but definetly not a purchase.

Yeah like a said they didnt present the demo well, Story is always a big part of Relic games, and you don't get that from a Demo, what it does do is represent the game world incredibly well. But it needs MOAR! though I am relishing the moment i get to stand upon a hill with a heavy bolter, facing down a true Ork Horde.

...and they shall know my fury in the name of the God Emperor...
 
My game has been dispatched so I should have it tomorrow, will give an updated impression then

Walk softly, and carry a big gun

Sounds like advice for rapists.... lol

Hope you enjoy it mate, next game I'm getting is GOW3, or Dead Island if it arrives before that
 
Solid game. 7/10

Single player:
Too simple, compared to what Relic can do, and what the WH40K world can give you. Story is pretty dull up till the last 3 levels where its suddenly feels like a Relic World. Final boss was a bit rubbish though. Not enough Epicness, and if there is one thing Warhammer projects its epicness. The combat was great, but let down by the lack of variety in the enemies

What a sequel needs:

More space marines: 3 man team doesnt cut it at least go with a full squad

MOAR enemies: Didnt see any Stormboys, no Waaaagh! Bannerz, THERE WERE NO CONSISTENT ENEMY VEHICLES. no buggies, no killa kans, no looted tanks, no battle buses, no ork turretz. No chaos cultist, no raptors, no chaos predators, no chaos defilers. No asault marines, no devastators, no dreadnoughts, NO terminators, no landspeeders, no predators. There wasnt even a librarian (ultramarines in particular move with librarians). This is the staple of WH40K

Bigger story: not a big enough story, if anyone has played the dawn of wars, or has any knowledge of the universe you know what i mean. not enough cut scenes/dialogue/build up

Better voice acting: bring back the guys who did the voices for dawn of war

not looked at the mutilplayer at all
