Sorry to be vague, the first page of the link says that info was found at gamestop.

Kinda wish there was more then the same old SM vs CSM. Oh well, still looks great

Just saw this. Anyone have any thoughts?

Happygrunt wrote:I don't understand what I am looking at...

THQ has been quite mum about co-op play and this is some probably preorder card or promotional insert that leaks the info that co-op apparently will be in the game. It looks like it will be DLC that hopefully comes "free" with every new copy of the game via a code. If you buy the game used and want to play co-op, you'll have to pay extra for it as used games won't have an unused code generally.

IIRC it's the back of the box.

Aw, someone sounds upset.

8v8 is fine with me, although I wouldn't be against 10v10 or 12v12, anything larger I don't prefer.

Not upset at all. Just find FPS on anything but a PC to be complete fail. And I'm not talking out of my as I own a Wii and 360. But there's just no comparing the experience to a basic mouse and keyboard. And when the PC is concerned, 32 players is the norm for max players at release.

I'm in the same boat. I played Counter Strike for years. FPS on a console just..... isn't right!

I started playing FPSs on the PC starting with the original Doom, so I would say I know a thing or two about playing with keyboard and mouse.

I agree that it is a superior control scheme for accuracy, however I find the 360 controller to be more comfortable and capable in terms of multiple schemes, not to mention I prefer sitting on my couch gaming to at my desk, which I spend enough time at already (cue someone telling me I can hook up a pc to my tv, thanks in advance I already know).

And what I mean by more capable, is that I'd never attempt to play anything but FPS/TPS or RTS with a mouse and keyboard, because its garbage for everything else.

I'm just waiting for them to link the consoles and PC to the same gaming environment so we can end these silly debates. PC will smoke you!

They already can and have done that, PC did smoke consoles, but thats largely due to the fact that the mouse is more accurate than the controller. That advantage would disappear if the console manufacturers developed a superior controller.

I'd also be interested to see what success mouse would have vs. Playstation Move with the Sharpshooter attachment. I've certainly used it to great success against others in Killzone 3.

HOLY FETH, HE HAD A STALKER PATTERN BOLTGUN! That is attention to detail.

Eh, PC I think is superior for accuracy, but I think analog controls are better for movement.

There is no doubt that a mouse is more 'accurate', but that's about all it has over a controller.

Agreed.

Also, I simply prefer to use a controller. It's more fun to me. So much so, that I'm debating on the PC receiver for 360 Controllers.

Five player coop? I guess that means a Hordes mode and not single player campaign coop then.

Maybe, maybe not.

Five player campaign coop is doable.

I doubt it will be the case though, as the campaign only features three Ultras.

I'm a bit over all this avoidance crap already!

Answer the question THQ, please!

Campaign co-op or not?

Either way, I'm buying the game, but if it is in, I can sell another copy for you too!

Chill, Alphy!

The answers are supposed to be revealed at GenCon. They've said for awhile that they don't want to announce every single particular right off the bat, and would rather demo the particulars at an event.

I don't have a position where I can comfortably play on a couch, sadly. The big TV tends to be dominated by the other housemates.

So punch them in the throat and demand your television time.

C'mon Mel, rookie move!

I like it in my room. I can yell at people for bothering me without feeling guilty here. If I yell at people for interrupting my game in the other room(s) of the house, I'll feel like a hypocrite

Does anyone know when/if they will release a demo level on xbox live? I will most likely buy them game anyway but a preview level woudl be sexy.

Having played Killteam i am really looking forward to Space Marine.

I asked that question to their community manager, and his response was, to paraphrase, "That's a marketing thing, and I don't know the answer to it".

Many games these days aren't releasing demos until the game proper hits the shelf. It's ridiculous.

I understand that this is The Internet and tone is hard to convey, but really?

I think my tone was readily apparent, especially with the Orkmoticon use.

I must say, bold faced commands to 'chill' don't sit well with me.

Having said all that, it is good to know that Gen-Con (?) will reveal all.

Gen-con is a rather famous and large gaming convention in the US, probably second to E3. At least, that's what I gather anyway. Hm. PAX might be bigger as well.

I'm showing my age, I suppose, in that for me, Gen-Con is all about RPGs!

That's also included in the "gaming" category of gaming conventions.

Keep in mind, those who aren't into any kind of gaming tend to clump everything together.

I thought it would be readily apparent that I was making a joke, with the smileyface and all.

Maybe I should start prefacing posts intended to be humorous bents with [Joke]?

That's what I've been told by a few of the devs. If it doesn't, I will blame them.

Hmmm. Arse. Oh well. Latest Uk release date is, what September? I guess i can wait till then.

So, when's Gen-con?
