The Next Space Marine

[Jacob Haggarty]

Id like to see more races, SpecificallyEldar, Dark eldar, and Tau added in and fight on multiple different planets. Also Like to see Armor (Land raiders, Predators, Rhinos) added in in some way. Terminator Armor and dreadnaughts would be cool. Whats QTE, BTW? Ohh and who would like to see an MMO/Horus Heresy Storyline?

so basically you want a third person shooter version of the RTS games?

Hell, i could think of worse things. It could be like starwars battlefront, but with about nine playable races. Th only problem i can think of is that having nine different types of soldier on screen would be a bit cluster fucky. Although, i supose the warhammer universe is about that sort of frantic all sides war.

Or, you could have it so that you can either quick-play and join a random team versus a random team, or stick with your favourites and join games that see them matched with random teams.

Also, BOTS. BOTS FOR ALL.

... i like to over think things.

Guys, I've got it. DEATH WATCH. The Elite Space Marines taken from every chapter to battle the strongest Xenos the Enemies of the Imperium can offer. They fight everyone, and they come from every space marine chapter, so no favoritism.

Ok, for those of you who have played and beaten the recently released Warhammer 40k: Space Marine, you have probably realized that the ending sets the game up for a sequel. And even if they didn't make a direct sequel, there will always be WAR. In the next game, what would you like to see added? What would you like to see removed?

Personally, I want Terminator Armor. I think it'd be fun to stomp around with an autocannon in one hand and a power glove on the other. Perhaps a Dreadnought mode could be added to Multiplayer, where one person plays a Space Marine/Chaos Dreadnought and everyone tries to bring them down, I.E. Juggernaught or Big Daddy modes as seen in Halo and Bioshock.

A 'PROPER' chaos plot, I mean who wouldnt like to play as Ahriman or Typhus or even Abaddon himself?

Why, relic, why do you hate chaos so much -__-

I like this idea, although I'd prefer to see Kharn. It would make a lot more sense in the being healed for performing finishers on your enemies.

 

[TheBlackKnight]

A story line that isn't a retread of previous Dawn of War titles. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the single player but orks attack, space marines show up and then someone fouls up and invites chaos to the party sounds awfully familiar Relic...

Isn't that the standard warhammer 40k plot though?

I mean you could ask Dan Abnett to write the script, but... well those poor sidekicks...

for the potential sequel... well no eldar as opponents... other than that? Less linearity maybe and a slightly deeper combo system with different mêlée attacks and a block system...

Why would you want to fight Kharn? He's a real nice guy after all.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Oh, another - more classes in Multiplayer. Who doesn't want to play as a Librarian?

Yeah, I get what you mean, though some craven idiot's going to go 'what about Chaplain?!' which now that I think on it, isn't that bad, though with the Rosarius and jump pack combo, could make it a little broken. Probably have a movement effect on those in proximity. *shrug*

Anyway, I think Terminator armour would only be good in campaign-mode. Bikes... that would be kinda cool to do.

I meant fight as him not against

 

[Smooth Operator]

Non useless squad mates would be a good start, and some RPG elements like DoW2 had.

I just would have been nice to see something different for once or at least take the opportunity to introduce an unexpected twist.

I guess the Ultra-smurf haters are probably happy though, cause lord are they thick.

"We shouldn't trust the Inquisistion, but let's do what this guy says any ways."
"Boy, you sure are acting strange Inquisitor. Is everything ok?"
"Oh, what's that Inquisitor? You want us to fire a weapon with your warp powered device?"
"I don't see how this could possibly go wrong in any way..."

 

[therandombear]

Well, first off: I loved Space Marine :3

OT: Multiplayer needs a fix, my experience so far is that assault/raptor with thunderhammer pretty much kills anything...and everyone, well almost everyone, goes assault/raptor when it's unlocked.

And yes, it would be awesome with Dreadnaught and terminator armour

On the note of QTE I didn't see the "press button" sign the first time, but after the first few times I failed I noticed and never bothered me again....except for later near endgame with the chaos marines, no matter how much I clicked the button and how fast, I always lost the QTE against those.

Sorry, but you can kill any raptor player by only have open eyes and not get jumped on by surprise. The dodgeroll is incredibly effficient and stops most raptor players in their tracks. I'm playing tactical Marine with pretty much the standard layout (faster spawn, teammates can spawn at my location, bolter, frag grenades, bolter pistol) and I dominate the seize ground modus.

@ QTE: I don't mean those. If you did not finish the game it might be a huge spoiler but in the end is the QTE which I mean.

Never been good at paying attention above me

Ah, that QTE....ya...that bit was annoying. "Mouse 1, mouse 1, mouse 1, space" rince and repeate until Fury meter was full...then press F...and start over again >.<

The downside to having a game based around the Chaos legions is that they dont give much oppertunity for character development. Its either senseless killings, mindless violience, or horrible atrocities. The only Chaos champion that actually does something else is Ahriman and he's stuck on a never ending quest to understand the nature of Tzeentch itself and I dont think that would be exciting from a gameplay stance.

Now what they should do is take one of the later founding chapters (or come up with one of their own) and follow their decent into the arms of Chaos. (i.e. the Soul Drinkers)

I see nothing wrong with that scenario

I knew Chaos was coming, was obvious enough, but friend of mine was completely oblivious, he said he was surprised by that twist xD

Soul Drinker was the first warhammer book I read, I love it

That would be awesome imo.

You say that like it would be a bad thing. I for one would love to see an RTS scale battle enacted in a Third Person Shooter. Thousands of Orks clashing against a few hundred Space Marines in a battle of epic proportions.

Not at all. I dont think they do justice to the epic scale of conflicts that go on in our grim dark future where there is only war. Titans, Massive armor vehicle conflicts, hundreds of thousands of Imperial Guard regiments, even the fleet battles that go on in space. I think they should go all out and do a Black Crusade game.

HORUS HERESY FTW

I know they tried something similar in the Chaos expac to DoW2 but those choices were too obvious. Something more subtle would be nice. Cause thats ususally how its done. You start out with the best intentions but your choices start to move into the grey area between what is good and what is evil.

I think the Horus Heresy might be a little too big. If you think games like Crysis rapes your computer what do you think the Siege of Terra would do to your processor?

a different chapter. ultra marines are too squeaky clean

Ya, the choices in the DoW 2 chaos expansion were silly tbh. "Grab this bit of extra gear or save fellow space marines that are trapped? Hmm...tough one"

Well the gear thing was a good idea but badly done. Cause how do you know that awesome powersword you found or that relic boltgun isnt harboring some daemon inside it? Relic does good work but I dont think they really capture the nature of the various Chaos gods too well.

I can't believe I am saying this, but in defence of the Ultramarines, Inquisitors tend to act pretty strange most of the time anyway.
