Interesting how a person's bias can stop them from actually researching a topic...

I looked at the article and wrote a scathing retort at his stupidity...then realized I'd only be able to sign in with my facebook page since I don't have the other accounts that can be used. I don't really wanna bash the guy and have him show up at my door...
God, he was stupid though. Do they really let people like that type on the internet?
Never mind. After some users I've seen on here, they certainly do. Thankfully, most of them have been MODblocked
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

I think the most interesting bit was where he said that THQ pointed out that 40k has its own diverse background for longer than Gears, then he mentions that they have taken Orks from LotR.
Clearly this guy has never really thought about where people get their ideas... probably hasn't even asked either.

The lascannon is essentially the man-portable lascannon from dark heresy.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

He is either a Gears fan-boy or simply a massive tool.

Hell, I like gears, but some of the asinine comparisons he is making don't even make sense.
Does he think gears is the only 3rd person shooter in existence? Personally, I'll bet the game will be closer to Transformers:WFC with more melee than gears, and/or Darksiders with moar guns.

Aren't the others man portable
The difference is that... well, here's the MP lascannon:
Compare that to the heavy weapons mount used by Guard or the shoulder-mounted backpack fed one used by devastator marines.

Oh well i'm not particularly fussed that the flamer and combi-bolter isn't in the game...
They seem to have done a fairly good job as it is and though i would like to see those weapons in it i won't not get it just because of that.

Space Marine is now up for pre-order on Steam, a pre-order which will include the so called "Blood Angels pack"

But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Sorry to delve back into a pointless debate, but a cover based game is a game where cover is emphasized to a point that it makes up a huge part of the game like gears of war, rainbow 6
While call of duty or battlefield, where cover is necessary, it is not emphasized to such an extent.
They both need cover, but the only difference is the button to auto take cover. Thats what defines the game. They both have guns, explosions, vehicles etc, but the only difference is the auto cover button.
Anyway, probably only going to rent this game, looks like fun, but doubt it would keep my attention more than a week
