The ability to take cover behind your massive shoulder plates. Really, it would make them seem more useful and it would certainly put a new tactical element into the shooting aspect.
If you stick with the Space Marines from the novels and not the table top, all it takes is one with a pair of lightning claws and those tanks get shreaded like butter.MacNille said:As far as i know, the Titans doesn't work for Space Marine. So what do you got? Land raiders?Agayek said:MacNille said:
Our mighty tanks will crush you puny Space Marine.
Your tanks mean nothing.
I just spent my afternoon playing it from start to finish. I don't known much about the warhammer universe but Ive always enjoyed a good hack n slash! Borrowed it off my housemate and smashed through it in 5 hours. I'd play a sequel or even a prequel but I dunno if there was enough variety as far as the gameplay goes for me to actually pay next time! Enjoyed the story! Not played MP. Saving my thumbs for GOW3
I'm still holding out for a survival horror game where you are just a squishy guardsman on a planet being slowly consumed by invading tyranids, or in a facility being raided by dark eldar.
Some sections would be stealth/evasion type gameplay, other sections would be a balls-out shooter where you desperately defend a hidey hole, but the overall objective would just be survive.
Perhaps it could have multiple endings? If you keep enough of your squad alive and otherwise perform well, you get a 'good' ending and escape the planet. If they die you get exploded to death in exterminatus. And if you get the BAD ending by actually killing the squad yourself... you get rescued, but only after having been impregnated by a genestealer. Thus implying that you've doomed whatever colony you end up on next.

I'm probably going to catch flack for this, but I would really like to see a cover system implemented. Also, make it so that two people can play from the same console. I hate it when games do this.
You know, i'd like this style of combat and movement... set in a skyrim-sized open world.
Call it Inquisitor.
One thing that dissapointed me at the end was how quickly the ork force vanished. I mean, theres supposed to be millions of them, and after killing the ork boss, you see zero further orks. After the carnage the orks inflicted, I think a nice short sequence where you pursue/gun down a gaggle of orks as they run away screaming would have been a nice touch.

Improved Multiplayer mode, with more game modes, some vehicles, and more races (I would love to see a 'swarm' mode similar to Dead Space 2, with the Tyranids on board a Space Hulk.)
As for the outcome of Titus, either he would become a member of the Deathwatch to investigate rumors of the Necron Threat at the edge of the Galaxy, or his connection to the Warp leads him into the arms of the Grey Knights.
Also, Just to get the fanboys into a froth, toss in Cypher and have his chapters getting progressively closer to Terra, with the last chapter at the foot of the Golden Throne itself.
Also, I happen to like the Game Balance. And I don't know about some of the people, but the Bolter is a darned fine weapon even without the Kraken or the Targeter added on, and once those are on it becomes a boss.
Me, I use a Storm Bolter + Melta with rapid deployment, so I can basically pop onto a contested point, usually score one or two kills and keep the other side from capture. Either that or I sneak over to their closest control point while they're fighting the middle ground and take it. Such fun.

Well the Last boss battle was a bit of a let down with the QTE but if you watch carefully he telegraphs his attacks so you can do it without using the prompts. Don't do that again. Add a bit more combos/executions to the combat and it would be awesome.
As for the multiplayer; the assault class needs a slight nerfing, i've never won a melee fight against an assault marine when i'm not 1 as well and since they can jump everywhere you get screwed quite easily. As a lot of people are saying maybe have a hero bonus with the MVP getting terminator armour for a short time. finally make sure there's lots of maps and modes, the tiny selection there is now is kinda boring.
For me though i'm more interested in the story. I want to find out if i'm right about how he can resist the warp, I think he's whats called a blank in the fluff (sort of an anti-psyker)

I'd love to see a SM vs Tau battle sometime, where you need to find creative ways of avoiding railgun fire.
Also, I'd love to play as:
- An Ork Warboss
- A Tau Commander
- An Eldar Harlequin
- A Dreadnought
Not sure how you'd get a story out of that, but they'd be fun to play as in a 40K game.

If he was a blank, then Nemeroth's armor lock wouldn't have worked, let alone the Psyker being able to keep his blood inside, or the 'warp device' working at all.Karma168 said:
Blanks have a specific range at which their abilities work, which changes from blank to blank. I think Jurgen (Commissar Cain's aide) has a radius of about 3m from his head outwards, which is why he was able to survive a tyranid attack in one of the novels.
I think that his training suppressed latent psyker traits, which (After coming in contact with the warp) started to manifest himself. Then again, I really, Really want to play as a Grey Knight.
From what i understand from it blanks are like psykers in that there are different levels of power, from able to walk past daemons without being seen to just having mild resistance to psychic powers. So while he could be a blank you're probably right and they might make him a psyker, since that could add quite an interesting mechanic to the combat (must not get excited thinking about torching xenos with warpfireXooiid said:

Anyone else want to play as a Kill team or The Legion of the Damned?
I think it'd be cool if the next one was a kill-Team made up of Space Marines from different chapters sent to fight Tyranids or Eldar or something. That way no one is annoyed at the vanilla marines!
Though i still want an Ork grand theft Auto.
