The story seems to be "go to this place with your two friends. There are orcs in the way." So yeah, pretty easy to make co-op. :P EDIT: If there's only one jetpack in a level, though, I can see friendships breaking up over it.  |

Ingmar doesn't really love you if he doesn't leave you the Jetpack.

I'm sure as long as you let him watch, maybe let him get some time with the pack, too, he'll be okay with it.

I know a major(?) part of the plot is that you split up from your brother marines Not that it's such a divergence that they couldn't keep 2 Marines together. I expect that the "co-op" will be a simple horde mode. Especially since they haven't said anything refuse to speak about it. Yay. Also, gotta agree with Ingmar - the Orks don't sound Orky enough. It also grates that the Ultramarines keep saying "onward, Space Marines" and "Space Marines yadda yadda" etc. They'd call themselves "Ultramarines", or "Sons of Guilliman" or "Defenders of Macragge" - something specific. Not something Generic as "Space Marines". Clearly audio recorded with MP in mind and just used in both SP and MP to keep it simple. But lazy. |

Yeah, now that I've played the demo, I understand what Ingmar meant about them not sounding orc-y enough. They need to be more ALL CAPS OIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII than they are. I want to barely understand a word they say, dammit!

The obvious orc solution is to get the voice actor from the Orc Captain in Retribution to do all the voices. Always and forever. <3

They do call one another that, don't they? I'm sure I heard it, or it could be DOW memories playing with me. And yes, Brother is also appropriate. Much better in fact than "SPEHS MAREEENES" |

Discovered it's reload to detonate the Vengeance rounds. Firing off a round, backwards evade and hitting reload works pretty well on mobs of orcs.
Backwards? BACKWARDS?! You are doing 40k wrong. No see, I've just gone so far forward now all the enemies are behind me. You just confessed to passing by a filthy xeno and allowing it to live. I really don't think you are going to last long in the grim dark future. |

Just as well there aren't any commissars about, they would execute everyone on the forum just for conversing about the subject. The Inquisition have been known to liquidate entire Imperial Army groups post victory, just because they've been exposed to chaos/aliens. |

Well yeah but after they've seen all those cool spiky bits whose to say they won't start getting ideas? It starts with one little extra pointy bit on a tank and a week later you're dealing with a full blown warp hole consuming a Hive world.

They've been so schizophrenic about this over the years. Initially you were right, then in 2nd Ed they got much more gentler and kinder about the whole thing, with IG regiments having reputations as tough chaos fighters and so forth (aside from the fucking Cadians and their gate knowing all about everything about chaos). More recently they've gone more grimdark again. Which is a good thing. |

The Cadians have a warp gate? Man more research reading for me :) I just thought the Cadians were just bad ass soldiers that were better trained and better geared than regular IG.

Not exactly, it is just right next to the Eye of Terror, which is why it is a fortress world blah blah etc.

The Cadian Gate is meant to be a reference to that system as a gateway to the Eye of Terror, basically whenever Chaos decides to pop out and ruin shit they go that way making it the first line of defence.

I don't think I'd be too hard on them for the Orc voices. I've never once heard of GW making a Dev's life easy when producing a game based on their IP.

So clearly it makes perfect sense that the planet still even exists anymore, what with Abaddon's Summer Holidays Black Crusades coming through every so often, along with endless other chaos excursions.... |

Except... the only reason I have an expectation of what the Ork voices should sound like, is previous Relic WH40k games. Anyway, it is a tiny tiny complaint that will in no way interfere with my enjoyment of impaling them on chainswords. |

The pause stuff may make it problematic to have multi-player. But fun combat!

Wow, this is a huge mistake imo releasing this (especially to console) w/o the MP-coop in place. |

That and it not being the campaign...
I get why it isn't. It's a matter of mechanics, but with abit more effort I would have thought they could work around it in a clever way. I am disappoint.

They refer to each other as Ultramarines all the time, whoever was upset about that.
The only thing better then the Jetpack, is the Jetpack+Stormhammer.

The co-op is apparently NOT the campaign, and we don't get it til October:
Well this pretty much moves it from 'pre-order' to '66%+ Steam sale'. Having played the demo, the gameplay isn't deep enough to justify a full price purchase for single player and no co-op campaign means it isn't even worth picking up when that releases. Disappointed. This would have been a great co-op campaign game. |
