Maybe he should....open his eyes...look up to the skies...and seeee...That he sucks as a journalist and should kill himself by choking on his nuts....Soviet Heavy said:
Rick Priestley and the Warhammer team - and they went with dwarfs because it's the correct English plural of dwarf. Tolkien made up dwarves, dwarven and dwarvish just to be different.Steppin Razor said:
I give unto you "Fire Warrior," a Warhammer 40K FPS. With Brian Blessed and Tom "The 4th Doctor" Baker.Jumplion said:
wow...he explained his ignorant, bias ranting in such a coherent and correctly spelled article quite unbecoming of internet stupidity.
i think that actually makes it worse. he has the sense to pay some degree of attention to what he types, but not the sense to realize that he is basically saying the lightsaber ripped-off halo's pasma sword.

They also fail to realize that Gears has absolutely nothing to do with space marines. The only thing related to space in the franchise seems to be the hammer of dawn. Beyond that, I have yet to see Marcus go into space to fight bad guys or heard that he came from somewhere else to the planet he's on now to fight. He's also not a marine. Hence, he is not a space marine.Soviet Heavy said:
I've had to correct people on here a few times about it. "Oh God! Another game like this and it even has Space Marine in the title and giant armour!" Sometimes people need to be punched in the face and shown a copy of White Dwarf.AlternatePFG said:
Chainswords came before Lancers. And I don't see an explosive machine gun or thunder hammer in Marcus' hands.
Saying that Space Marine ripped off of Gears of War is like saying Dawn of War stole its RTS mechanics from StarCraft.

I was too lazy to read through the entire article but I would have to say that the author doesn't really know what he is talking about. As far as I can tell by game play videos of WH:40k, it plays nothing like GoW2. For one, you don't really utilize cover much less rely on it like Gears. Also, there is a much greater emphasis on melee combat and fast and frantic combat. Gears was rather slow paced compared to how 40k looks. 40k has also been out longer.
