So Techmarine buffs and Lilbrarian heals? Meh, I like shooting things, Sternguard for me.

Gauntlet style play... very cool. This is a must get for our family of 4 gamers.

Only two player I think.

this is something that I think could work really well for THQ and Relic. strip the skins off of everything. Animate new enemies, adjust the levels, and create a 'series' of kill team games! There could be 'space marines crash into a space hulk (genestealers, classic space hulk)', space marines crash into a hive ship (tyranids!), space marines crash into a craftworld (eldar), space marines crash into a black fortress (chaos space marines/demons), space marines crash into a tomb ship (necrons), space marines crash into 'what ever the largest tau ship is' (sperm whale?) . Anyway, you get the picture.


YES they will be repetitive, these kinds of games always are! We still love them.

They could mix it up with new weapons, and equipment like flamers, melta guns which are good at taking out vehicles, but suck against infantry. Allow a variety of chapters with different attributes which correspond to their fluff (space wolves have CC bonus', blood angels flip out with blood rage, Dark angels are sad , ultra marines do NOTHING DIFFERENT!!! ).
Maybe ad some special characters, Mephiston helps you figure out a puzzle, Vulkan helps you craft a new weapon, Draigo comes in and wins the game for you, etc..

I hope they think about it, I would love to have this sort of thing be a regular occurrence.

This is awesome I would definitly play it!

Man, I loved Heavy Barrel back in the day.

And Alph, Ikari Warriors II: Glory Road (the arcade version, not the lame NES version)...that is what the P.I.M.P.s played.

Looking forward to playing this with my son.

I remember that one too (but only after I just looked it up!).

I was a regular at many arcades 'back in the day'... good times!

HEEEAAAVY BARREL!!!

What about Midnight Resistance? The side-scrolling version of Heavy Barrel.

You know what was awesome in Heavy Barrel? The red grenades.


What was this thread about, again?

Hey, marines attacking orks heading to a forgeworld to generate hype for marines fighting orks ON a forgeworld?

I smell a story teaser in there too.

I honestly do not expect story for some reason looks like good old honest ork killing.

It's a skin and bug hunt, what more could you ask for?

BY THE EMPEROR! I just noticed that they were Sallies! Thank you for the Sallie love GW!

Do want! Look forward to expansions killing tyranids, eldar, chaos, etc. And adding new playable factions.

Looks like you can choose, I saw some blood angels in there too!

Defo going salamander flamer/melta love

Nids are already in.

Now if we only gun down Tau too...

BrookM wrote:]Nids are already in.

Even better!

For once there's a good article on the GW website. I guess the game informer link came first, but this article was the first place I read that you can choose chapter and class.

I have 2 things to say about this:

Elf needs food badly.

And

Since when can SM move and shoot heavy weapons?

Lol

Just kidding this looks awesome!

The only reason they can't in 40K is game balance - otherwise... run and dakka, especially with a heavy bolter, FTW!

If anyone in 40k should, Space Marines are the most reasonable. If rebuilding 40k from the ground up, I think it would make perfect sense to give them a special rule where they can shoot on the move, albeit at a minus of some sort.

They still managed to get an Ad in at the end though!

Jaysus how did I miss this?
Looks excellent from the small amount shown.
There arent enough good co op games being released imo.

Damn, now I want Land Raider Outrun!

Can anyone say Robotron 2084???

http://www.box10.com/robotron-2084sh.html

lol

Yeah, that is an inspiration for many of the modern run and gun style 3 quarter overhead shooters. See also Smash TV.

That and they refuse to give us suspensors.

Jerks.
