Hi Guys,

How AMAZING will this be !?!?! :drool:

SPACE MARINE

Its the only pics i\'ve been able to find as THQ has pulled everything from the web.

Rumor has it that it will be a 3rd person shooter \"Gears of war in power armour!!\" what could be better !! :drunk

there was a thread a bit ago with a sneak peek vid of it it looks absolutely amazing :drool:

it does look amazing. but the weapon damage seems silly (a bolter should shred a traitor guardsman not stun him)

It more than likely will when it comes to realise :beer:

It looks good but I hope that they make the bolter fire properly and not like an uzi like it is now.

Absolutely. A bolt gun is essentially an M40 grenade launcher with a burst-fire setting, at least according to official fluff. I hope they change it for the actual release of the game.

i remember seeing this on another pos somewhere else.

The game looks amazing, shame it showed the xbox 360 bit though, fingers crossed it will be released across consoles. seeing as i own a ps3.

That made me rofl a tad.

still look forward to hearing about more of this game.

If it ha the gears of war engine that would be pretty immense

Isn\'t the bolter more akin to a gyrojet rifle than a M40 GL? Ah, heck, what do I know .

I really hope GW go ahead with this, cos it has the potential to be an amazing game.

But if they do they should get feedback from erm....us. You know what would work and would\'nt.....stu.....

It was mentioned over at Da WAAAGH! (there\'s a post on this on every 40kish forum) that since it\'s still pretty much pre-alpha at this point, they haven\'t added range weapon damage yet, which is why the bolter only stuns the cultist instead of doing damage (which is also why there\'s very little effects from the weapon being fired or the projectile hitting).

Close, it\'s alot closer to the AA10 Automatic combat shotgun with FRAG-12 rounds (which is Gyrojet and grenade in one).

I\'m personally just waiting to hear more about the 40k MMO that was talked about some time ago.
