There are a shit ton of fags in the world then.. lol

An obvious statement  ;)

Relic keeps making cool Warhammer40K games while Vigil Games are working on their MMO. Once they are finished with Dark Millenium Online, a whole shitload of gamers will be familiar with 40K making it a solid IP for the MMO in the industry.

The best part is: we gamers benefit from whatever they seem to be doing.

Wait, wasn't 40K already a solid IP, if not the most solid IP? I mean 40K inspired Starcraft, inspired the "chainsaw" weapon, inspired the shishkebob (in Fallout), Helll... it even inspired Halo (Humans as humans, Cov as the Eldar, Flood as Orcs... make sense? :P).

I agree that Warhammer IP is solid as a rock and has been so for the last 20 years. However I meant that it is now more solid in the video game industry. I am sure that ever since the first Dawn of War game, the Warhammer IP got more of the non-tabletop fans.
For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?

I will admit, I never played the table top game... but I have been playing relic RTS's since Homeworld.

Speaking of which, now that Relic bought back Homeworld IP from Vivendi, there is a slight hope that they will get back to making what they make best :)

Yeah, if Homeworld comes back, I am jizzing my pants.

Also I have to say that if it wasn't for Fallout games (Fallout and Fallout2) We would probably not see Warhammer 40K DOW that early on PC games.

Also Warhammer is feeding us for a bit more than that but then 40k came and literally took over the entire market. A lot more games were inspired by Warhammer games (both) but 40K had a huge impact on futuristic weapons and games overall.

I guess the concept of the Power Armor was always in the head but it was Warhammer 40K that actually brought it to life. If you compare all the Power armors used in gaming industry you will see they are all looking similar.

In this game, I fount myself using Bolter Pistol most often. There is an easy way to stun the Nob though, this is what I did to stun him:
Throw a grenade behind him to make him slightly panicked, then Charge Attack on him, your squarmates will shoot at him on occasion weakening him, but before the grenade just shoot at his helmet a bit and after the charge he should be stunned, wait for him to wake up and stun him again, cuz he will grab you instead, second stun is slash+slash+F (should work, worked most of the time for me) and then just execute.

Vengeance Launcher Tips:

Don't shoot at the enemies, shoot and make traps from the grenades, once the enemies are near your designated grenade you can detonate it with "R", I don't know if it's intentional but the closest grenade to your targeting pointer explodes first. Might be coincidence, if someone could confirm I would be thankful.


Power Axe:
You can only find it on the first level near the Elevator in the repository tank, when you approach it it will start talking if you stop by in front of it, it will ask you to press E, and it will talk that the weapon is unlocked. This weapon cuts like hot knife through butter through most enemies, takes a few hits more to kill the Nob than to kill the standard ones.
Executions are different so I assume all execution moves differ from enemy and weapon.
In this Demo it is not saved to the second level (Which is a third level in the retail release if you ask me)

Jump Pack:
You can jump really high with it and it really is an awesome fast traveling device. Charge attack is changed.
You can short Jump away from enemies to the left, right and back, and even forward to make a short jump on the enemies.
Combine jump+chainsword attack very fast for a short stun attack (Jump+insta chainsword) it's awesome.
Another combo is throwing a grenade behind enemies forcing them to move towards you and then Charge attack in Jump Pack suite. The standard boyz will die instantly and the others will get stunned begging you to execute them.

Bolter Pistol is sometimes better than Boltergun or stalker riffle. But you can really have a lot of fun with all weapons.

I do agree that we need a flamer here :)

Gotta admit NOB is a tough bastard to deal with XD
I wouldn't expect anything less :D

Played through the demo on the Hard difficulty and died only at the end of the first demo mission (those two Nobs kicked my ass, lol). It was very entertaining.

Yeah you can die there very easily.

Discovered and Confirmed something.

Discovery:
When NOB is stunned you CAN execute him actually but you have to keep clicking left mouse button as you are in kind of a duel, unless he is a bit weaker then no need for clicking. Also when in Fury Mode I menaged to stun NOB normally.

Confirmed:
I spread 6 grenades from Vengeance Launcher and directed crosshair at the individual ones, directed trigger CONFIRMED!

Yeah, found those out while I played. I got to finish off one Nob but it happened so that he was partly inside the wall and I pretty much saw nothing. >_>

Btw, how often did you use Fury Mode? I used it 3 or 4 times (on the first mission).

On Hard mode I used it only at the platform with 2 NOBs around 2-3 times, very useful when overrun, which is not that hard lol.
Made a pre-order just now.

Can't fucking wait for expansions, it would be a waste not o expand this game, too fucking epic XD

Bought the game today (as an early Bday present to myself)... OMG the Bolter is fucking awesome. This game is pure win. The ultraviolence is stellar. Does it live up to Warhammer 40K? I think it is a great game, but purists may not like it for some reason or another... :P

Ha! Steam fails again.

Steam price: 49 Euro
Impulse converts the price into local currency: 272 Norwegian krone.

Google Conversion: 272 NOK in Euro = 36 Euro, that's 13 Euro cheaper.

This is a typical example of Steam's idiotic 1$ = 1€ conversion. Hell, I better check other retailers in case I can milk the currency rates for all it's worth.

Looking towards playing this game now that it is released.

Ace, I think you will definitely like this game. It's basically just killing the living shit out of everything... shooting, stabbing, sawing, and curb-stomping some motha'fuckin orcs. Ultramarines = Gods.

Ouch, that last line hurts....

Actually on another forum I made excellent point in why it would make sense having other chapters saving the forgeworld like for example Iron Hands that have that "special" affiliation with Adeptus Mechanicus and the fact that a Forge World is not some feudal world that needs protection from Ultramarines since it is protected by Titan Legions: the most powerful land force in the Imperium...

However a guy made one point that beat all mine, do you know what it was? "Poster boys will be poster boys". And that is what ultramarines are: poster boys.

My game is almost downloaded, so I am sure I will enjoy it, even though the armor is too blue for my tastes  ;D

I would prefer Blood Ravens personally, their war cries were awesome in DOW2. Ultramarienes are just ... meh, but the carnage is godlike XD

Space marines bleh...

Biggest disappointment in this game is the lack of non space marine gameplay even in multiplayer =(

True.
And true.

As a new continuation I would really prefer a game about the Necrons and Sisters of Battle.
I think there is too much going on with Chaos and Space marines. their war is obvious, but how about Necrons and Sisters of Battle, those two are at war as well, wherever Necrons pop out, Sisters of battle soon follow to purge the undead. Aside from Soulstorm, I haven't seen anything about the Sisters of battle even though they are a great branch of Emperor's army.

But since they chose Space marines again, at least they could use a faction that have not yet played any concrete role in games. Or something that happened around 5.000 years ago or more, I would love to have more about Abaddon.

There are also Tau that have't yet had much fun in games, I was hoping for at least the Tau empire to hit in DOW2 so I could play some in The Last Stand.

But the Carnage is good so i will not complain :D

Game finished (on hard). Was okay. Bloody gorefest :3

The endfight was (for me) quite challenging. Had to take a break after several failures or else my monitor would be broken. Eventually I slapped him.
