I got briefly excited because I thought it meant I was guaranteed a look in! I get the feeling if I didn't get a pick last time, this will be no different
Zealot looks pretty fun to play. It looks superb with every trailer. I hope my PC is up to the task. I don't really have the cash to upgrade my graphics card right now
See I'm usually a lad who likes big guns and two handers. In every game I'm a fan of dakka and shotguns. I'll wait until they do a trailer for the Ogryn but I'm not quite drawn to it in the same way. The Veteran looks the most fun because it's the opportunity to play as just a regular Guardsman. And I've wanted to do that for a long time in a 40k videogame.
No bot support sadly, but the games with randos have not been bad so far. Gameplay's nice and punchy, characters are chatty but don't repeat the same voice lines ad-nauseum like in Vermintide. So far, so good.
Server instability aside, played through two missions now, only real annoyance being no communications wheel asking my donkey-cave team mate to stop wading into melee and drop the fething heal station already so we could all heal up our corruption.

And yes, Cadian veteran here.
Yes a buddy and I luckily got the invite, meaning we are stuck with two randoms. Unfortunately that means they always seem to have had their brains partially sucked out through a straw. It would be nice if the Ogryns weren't always in the way when I was trying to blast baddies with my lasgun.
What cracked me up was when you scroll down to Cadia it's just a few rocks in space
Having random veterans in your game charging at everything with their shovels, getting hit by friendly fire and hogging the supply kits is getting a bit old.
But still, so far so good for me personally. Another annoyance I've discovered is that the game does not save custom key bindings upon quitting the game, bit annoying.
Managed to get three games in with my brother, who played as zealot. He had some trouble getting fully used to his loadout, but he had a blast as well, there is something viscerally pleasing about back to back melee combat, watching out for one another as we lug ammo and coolant units around.
I got torso armour and a shotgun, didn't get to fully test the latter as servers kept conking out for me, but so far, I LOVE IT. 20% bonus damage to flak armoured enemies was a great buff, made dealing with those chain axes pricks a little easier.
Plague Ogryn is an ace mini-boss, a lot like the rat ogres, but not as annoying. The mutants on the other hand.. bloody hell, they home in on you like a freight train haha!
