"Cover is for pussies" is a pretty great mantra. The game is a 50/50 divide between shooting and melee combat, so it's going to be a fast moving and never stagnant game. God this looks more awesome every time I see it.

Looks great but I want to play as Orks not massacre them.
I'll probably get it and if it's a success I hope they do an Ork game, years ago one company started work on a GorkaMorka game, I'd love to see Relic pick up those ideas.

The problem with the 'vote with your dollar' response is that it doesn't take into account why we're not buying the product. I want to enjoy 40k enough to buy back in. It was my introduction to traditional games, and there was a time when I enjoyed it very much. I want to buy 40k, but Gamesworkshop is doing their very best to push me away, and simply not buying their product won't tell them that.

They've just basically been saying "when it's done" with a general 2011 window. I'd rather have it be great and come out a few months later than have it sooner only to be unpolished.

This may be old news (sorry if it is) but play.com have a release date for the game - http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/10165001/Warhammer-40000-Space-Marine/Product.html

Maybe this needs salt but sounds promising.

I'm imagining this as GW's declaration of war on the video games industry.

And THQ's declaration of war too.

Either way, I'll get a 3PS and an RTS expansion on the month after my birthday. Doesn't sound too shabby.

Is this game just going to be you playing as an Ultramarine? If it is, it might get a bit boring....

THQInsider was saying he'd pester the devs to see if we can get alternate Chapter colors as DLC or some kind of multiplayer feature.

Maybe we just need to pester him to get more on that

You play a MARINE. You get to arm him in a variety of ways, with various weaponry and equipment (jump packs, heavy weapons, various ccw, etc.)

The fact that he is skinned as an Ultramarine is about the most unimportant thing you could pick to possibly complain about with this game.

Seriously people, get over the "Ultamarine hate" thing, it was old and worn out ages ago...
