I mean this is full of , they worked on both Space Marine and DoW Retribution but they can't work on Space Marine 2 and Dark Millennium at the same time?
I know that DoW 3 and DM is priority now, but I think that they should do sequel ( realistically they left an open space for sequel as we saw it on the end of the game ). I woudn't want to see this game to finish up like Fire Warrior ( forgotten ).

They'll be similar games, rather than release both to compete for short term profits they can release one then wait a little and release the other.

It's not "blocked" so much as merely delayed. Relic is working with Vigil on DMO.

That trailer for DM looked pretty cool. Cant wait for it.

I loved the Firewarrior game. I know its forgotten but i dont know why it cops so much flak.

Fire Warrrior on his first day of battle kills hundreds of Guardsman, 13 Space Marines ( 2 were Sergeants and 4 were carrying a plasma gun ), hundreds of Chaos Space Marines ( Raptors included as well as Sorcerers ), several Oblitarators, 3 Daemon princes, Titan and a Lord of Change. I killed most of them in melee, it was hilarious.
All on his 1'st day of work, and as a reward he got a pat on the back.

Ok so he pulls a Marbo whats so bad about that? Everyones allowed to have a good day occasionally arent they?

That was pretty cool. The video was pretty dark and didnt look that great, but it made me pretty excited!

Hahahahaha

I think a firewarrior would only be able to kill....1 guardsmen in close combat.....maybe 2 if he was lucky...

In fairness the gurdsmen that charged oyu in CC were really hard to kill... at least... they were hard for 11 year old me to kill...

Fire Warrior was... not great.


Also if you ended up CC'ing in Fire Warrior, you were doing something terribly, terribly wrong.

Firewarrior had CC? Hmmm... I never did find the button for that.

I don't mind the delay of the sequel. I still have to play my copy of part 1 which I won't be touching till I finish off the DoW II stuff (campaign + expansions)... well maybe I'll play multiplayer at least.

That is perfectly in line with Tau fluff. Any random Tau Fire Warrior can do that, easy.

I don't mind the delay at all, or delays in general. Delays mean the developer will have more time and effort to put into the game, so the finished product will be better.

Ya, says the guy that was complaining that Draigo shouldn't be able to kill a blood thirster...

and I agree on the second part...seems like now a days developers rush to get a game out, instead of actually making it enjoyable... *cough*callofduty*cough*

First one must ask themself, SHOULD there be a sequel?

My Fire Warriors have killed more enemies in CC over the past 3 years than they have with shooting. Similarly so with my Broadsides.

Avatar's Tau - Can't shoot for shizz.

Oh,well then...

carry on!

The sequel should obviously be "Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Space Marine".

I want that badass Chaos Marine yelling "SEND THEM TO OBLIVION!" and "ANSWER THEIR FIRE!" and "LOYALIST SCUM" as my squadmate.

Instead of pansy Leandros' "Clear the blast zone :(!"

That's far more realistic than most FPS's these days, or indeed any game. You simply can't sell a game where the main character kills a few guardsmen then gets stepped on by a Warhound.

You probably could but it wouldn't have much of a storyline...
It would be like Battlefront in terms of story. The regiment does stuff but no individual in particular stands out.

Presumably you'd prefer you instantly died the moment the game started, blown apart by an artillery shell.
Did you also refuse to play Call of Duty? Or, in fact, any computer game whatsoever that relies on willing suspension of disbelief?

I think you're taking Coa way to seriously........

Poor Coa, I think their angry because he didn't say "spoiler alert"

Theres little point in playing a "hero" type game without being/feeling all hardcore. If that were the case you could play an
armorer in call of duty and sit in a room loading clips with bullets and building ammo chains for automatic weapons/ replacing firing pins.
you could call it a puzzle game. Teehee.

willing suspension of disbelief results in willing temporary acceptance you are world shattering-ly awesome.
