Ahh yeah. I knew one (Australia or Europe) was getting it the 8th and the other was getting it the 9th. Just couldn't recall off hand.Corporal Yakob said:Australia actually, I'm going to sprint all the way from my house to the local EB Games and get the game first thing on the release day-"Oh come on! Surely I deserve a discount for knowing over a dozen Imperial prayers!"Jodah said:You must be in Europe eh? I get it the sixth here in the States. I plan on waiting outside the Gamestop I preordered at and exacting Holy Retribution upon anyone in front of me.

For the Emperor!
Oh god, I cannot wait for this game. I played the Demo, and it just feels like so much goddamn fun. It's gonna rock.Jodah said:Anyone else twitching in the corner waiting for this game? I rarely get worked up about a new game but this is one of those cases.
Same here. I get a mini nerdgasm with each new trailer. It looks like we'll actually get to SEE some space and/or atmospheric battles too. I've never seen that before in a 40k game. Im kind of interested to see what the Imperial Navy is all about.Anyone else twitching in the corner waiting for this game? I rarely get worked up about a new game but this is one of those cases.
Ehh, to be fair, this kind of talk is the usual kind of Space Marine hype. The Guard always play second-fiddle in the 40k games (Except Winter Assault, which I loved). That's just the role of The Guard I guess. Do the hard work and let the Space Marines hog all the glory. I just hope they treat The Imperial Guard with respect in this game, and don't like, just have them there to make Space Marines look more badass.I thought the job of halting the enemy of mankind was for the Imperial guard, then have space marine strike at the heart of what survived the rain of artillery fire.
Oh hell yes. Im actually pretty excited to try out the multiplayer too, and the customization. Im totally going to try and make a Deathwatch Marine for multiplayer. Well, as close to one as I can get with the options they give me. Poor Deathwatch never gets any love. The Gray Knights and Sisters of Battle hog all the spotlight. The Ordo Xenos really needs to get its own army too.Oh god, I cannot wait for this game. I played the Demo, and it just feels like so much goddamn fun. It's gonna rock.
They might show some respect for the guard. Their commander seems like an important character, and you play as an Ultramarine, one of the very few chapters that actually still fight for what they were created for (protecting humanity) and not just to kill everything while having a hard time standing up with such massive egos. For multiplayer, I'm hoping they have enough customization that I can make a legion of the damned marine.rcs619 said:Same here. I get a mini nerdgasm with each new trailer.

Titus became captain of the 2nd after his "commanding officer was killed in battle" (mentioned by one of the devs in a livestream a while back). So, if GW decides to recognize Space Marine as 40k canon, then Cato got his ass killed.Hyp3roptic said:If Titus is captain of the 2nd, what happened to Cato Sicarius?
...The Imperial Guard, along with the Imperial Navy, who every day battle and kill more aliens than most Space Marines?"only one force can halt the anhialation of mankind"
I very much am, even if I do have to play an Ultrasmurf in the campaign.Jodah said:Anyone else twitching in the corner waiting for this game? I rarely get worked up about a new game but this is one of those cases.
Well it's kind of par for the course to not give the Imperial Guard any credit, isn't it?Jenx said:...The Imperial Guard, along with the Imperial Navy, who every day battle and kill more aliens than most Space Marines?"only one force can halt the anhialation of mankind"
God, this trailer sucked donkey balls. Will someone remind these people they are making a 40k game, not Gears of War?
Heh, I'm one of the few that doesn't hate the Ultras. They aren't my top by any means (I like the pre-heresy Death Guard the most) but I don't hate them. I can't find a chapter (in game guild/clan) that will take a Death Guard though so I dunno what I'll be for multiplayer.Agayek said:I very much am, even if I do have to play an Ultrasmurf in the campaign.Jodah said:Anyone else twitching in the corner waiting for this game?

I don't hate the Ultrasmurfs so much as I find them incredibly bland. There's just nothing interesting about them. Their philosophy is bland, their chapter history is dull, and their color scheme/emblems are boring. There's really nothing there to like.Jodah said:Heh, I'm one of the few that doesn't hate the Ultras.

So to whom is the phrase "Ultrasmurf" limited to anyways? Is it just the Ultramarines, or all chapters that follow the Codex Astartes, or even all chapters that are based off the Space Marines Codex (to represent a chapter who would be found in the latter but not necessarily follow the former see the Soul Drinkers)?Agayek said:I don't hate the Ultrasmurfs so much as I find them incredibly bland.

I'd much rather play a Black Templar attempting to reconquer the world from the Orks.
Yeah... Space Marines get all the coolest toys and glory. But hey, at least the Imperial Guard gets all the ladies, right? I mean, billions of Guardsmen gotta come from somewhere =PWell it's kind of par for the course to not give the Imperial Guard any credit, isn't it?
Yeah, but to be fair, its probably the best move. I mean, this is Relic, stepping outside of their comfort-zone a bit, making the first Warhammer 40k big-budget action-game in, well, ever (as far as I know). The Space Marines are probably the most well-known group in all of 40k, and probably the best material for a full-blown kill-fest kind of game. The story is fairly classic too. Space Marines vs Orks and Chaos on an Imperial world under siege. Its all a bit by the book, probably because this is the first game in a new franchise. Still, its looking very solid, and very fun so far.Heh, everyone ignores the Imperial Guard. That should be their slogan "All the work none of the credit!"
But yeah, most people focus on the Space Marines rather than the Imperial Guard, Ordo Xenos, Sisters of Battle, etc.
Pretty much how I feel. Although, I can see why they were used. The Ultras are basically THE definition of what an average Space Marine is. They literally wrote the book on it. Hopefully they can throw in a few of the more rebellious chapters in future games, like the Space Wolves or the Templars. Gotta set the groundwork first though, since this game is probably going to draw in a lot of newer players. Third-person shooters are a lot more accessible than a PC exclusive RTS series.don't hate the Ultrasmurfs so much as I find them incredibly bland. There's just nothing interesting about them.

Ultrasmurf is a derogatory nickname for the Ultramarines, and only the Ultramarines. It derives from the fact that the Ultramarines wear the same shade of blue as the eponymous cartoon and are about as interesting.KingPiccolOwned said:So to whom is the phrase "Ultrasmurf" limited to anyways?
