If you aren't going to have the armor system of space marine 1,then you need the space marine 1 melee which is fast and snappy to justify getting stuck in

More chud marines dying

Half the post game content planned for SM2 had gone to 3 instead

We were supposed to have 2 story addons from the OG roadmap, one with eldar and one with necrons so those 2 are gonna be the enemies in 3.

My hope is that for chaos we get world eaters and an angron bossfight because Titus beating a daemon primarch would honestly make leandros kill himself

>Thousand Sons are defeated and fuck off
>Nids still a problem
>Crons start waking up
>Meanwhile Orkz show up for a Waagh since they love fighting nidders
Im sure none of this will happen

My hope is they drop the lore wank with stupid shit like Guilliman and that entire last arc of 2 and go back to something smaller scale with genuine characters like 1.

I'm playing Space Marine 2 after playing the first game
It's very well made but I am kinda disappointed that it's so short (I found out that I am basically half way through after 4 hours of playing
I really thought it's a long and fleshed out game sorta like I dunno Doom Eternal
and also I find all the multiplayer shit annoying, I feel like the game reluctantly allows me to play single player but it really would love me to find some people to play with
also I thought there is gonna be more stuff to do like maybe upgrades to weapons or something? every weapon feels the same

>>720662069

>>720663805
they should start off fighting world eaters and let the xenos be the ones who show up unexpectedly
let it turn out they're fighting on a tomb world and we then fight the necrons

I haven't played this for ages.
Did they change the prestige system or does it still remove all your perks?

>>720662069
Use the health system from the first game again and less chaos faggotry. Maybe make it a threeway fight between nids, da boys and SPEESE MARINES

>>720664381
Didn't change at all
But every prestige has a huge xp bonus so it's not like youre 100% starting fresh
>>720664212
I don't know what part of my comment yours is addressing, but no bolt gun should have "mows down minoris like it's nothing" as it's defining trait

Anon, the options are RIGHT THERE. Guardians for chaff enemies, Aspects for Majoris, Exarchs for Extremis and shit like the Wraithlord or even a War Walker as a Terminus. Hell maybe even a Autarch or Farseer for Terminus. They're entire roster is filled with melee/ranged only specialist units.

No chaos this time, please I beg you.

>>720665517
Biovores I find are best dealt with by tactical if you do the standard mark and kill
Or assault/bulwark if you just pressure
But you have to be patient and not miss your parry gun strikes, which is a tall ask when a lictor is having your asshole in because the biovore is much like the most annoying chaos enemies where

It was marketing who are convinced that they need to keep breaking into 'new markets' because they think the current fanbase is ageing out and the way they need to attract a new audience is to diversify the hobby and I mean by appealing to other races and genders by adding in more 'diversity'. They don't understand that people don't age out in WH40k, that the older you get the more you can afford and introduce your son to the hobby and son introduces his friends.
In short, it's someone in Marketing who wanted to leave their mark and try to get noticed for having some light bulb moment but in fact all that did was piss a lot of people off.

No, vanguard is lame and gay. I want to walk straight up to my enemies and vaporize their torsos with 2 barrels of subatomically agitated promethium before I cave their heads in, not zip around on a wire as a fruity little negro in tacticringe armor.

After not listening to /v/ and waiting for SM2 to be less than $30 I bought it for $36. It was shit. I beat the game, did 2 operations and uninstalled in disgust, it was truly awful.

I fucking hate the CSMs in 2. They don't talk, they barely fight back, they die in a couple of hits and by the end of the game you feel like you've just gone through them like Nathan Drake goes through mercenaries in Uncharted and they don't even bleed. It's such a transparent copout it actually blew my mind when I realized how cheap it was.

>>720662069
No classes, fully unlocked weapon control
No leveling progression system
No weapon ranks

Exactly, they saw their way of justifying the monumental copout and went for it. And I'm not comparing it to the first game, both can have the same flaws, and they do. Games used to develop past their flaws, not use past games as an excuse for obvious flaws

Bring back Orks. Let me play as an ork. Get deep into Ork lore like their physic powers and how they cobble together equipment and how they reproduce. Include the Sisters of Battle somehow and have a compelling romance between a sister and a space marine. Bring back chaos, but have the player go to the chaos realm and explore the lore and crazy hellscape of chaos. Have the player play as a Dreadnought.

>>720663013
Terminators look so fucking cool without their helmets.

>>720665632
Warp shit has so much potential but it will never be used in a smart and cool way even though it's a layup for anyone remotely creative and a total license to make crazy shit up

>>720662069
Full 5-10 man squad
Access to specialist Marine armor patterns like Aggressors and Repulsors maybe all the way to Terminators or even deploying as a Dreadnought
Open World full map operation where you deploy and rapidly hit key targets before pulling out.
Multiple enemy factions with different strengths and weaknesses


Essentially Helldivers but muh 40k.

>>720665015
Again, my point was about making Eldar fun. Having all ranged chaff isn't fun, especially with a typically highly mobile faction like Eldar. I forgot about Storm Guardians, you could probably get away with them being like Tzaangor with pistols. But again, most of your majoris options are aids to fight. Stealth, flight, teleportation, fuck that shit. You could probably get away with Banshees, Dragons, and Dire Avengers without becoming the single most unfun faction in the series.

>>720670696
Not him, but I wouldn't use Craftworld Eldar but Dark Eldar instead, particularly a Haemonculi villain would be good. They're a lot more focused on melee, their ranged stuff tends to be fast moving but vulnerable, as opposed to Craftworlders unstoppable snipers and they bring a lot of alien mercenaries or Haemonculli abominations to serve as chaff instead of ranged Kabalites

On one hand roll and parry is kinda annoying for the ranged classes on the other hand it makes melee a lot more interesting. Champion and Reaver would fucking suck if it was all just the old game mechanics. Espescially for bosses.

>>720673292
their problem is that they're too one note and there's no really good reason they should ever show up against anyone but chaos and negative your doods potential
whether their tabletop rules will be any fun to play is a coin flip from half edition to half edition too

>>720673292
Grey Knights should be squatted at this point. Absolute joke of a faction.

>>720673416
it just has the problem that they made it so roll/parry is the only option for avoiding attacks so you're forced into it even if going for a ranged focus
the first game wasn't perfect about this sort of thing either but you had the option of dropping a stomp stun to give yourself some breathing room to shoot if you wanted
wasn't as necessary since it didn't ask you to choose between a melee weapon and guns but that's a different matter

>>720673292
if you care enough to ignore Matt Ward's GK lore then you care enough to ignore primarishit entirely so there's no reason to resort to GK when you can just play normal marines

>>720673892

you'd be right if GW wasn't fucking with the rules to do everything in their power to push you to buy new models by just writing your old models out of the game
if you want to play marines especially you have to buy their new shit because nothing is legal anymore if its lucky enough to have rules

For me personally I think horde combat works best when the players are mostly ranged focus and the horde is mostly melee. The lose condition essentially being the horde making contact. It's just sort of an unfortunate fact that melee is a big part of 40k that people are going to want to see.

I actually prefer it the other way round where players are mostly melee focused and have to use their ranged weapons sparingly to juggle handling the horde and picking off special enemies before they become a threat a la Vermintide

Except assault cannons, grav weaponry, conversion beamers, disintegrator weaponry, volkite weaponry (neo volkite may as well not exist at this point), phosphex and rad munitions, chem weapons, combi weapons with most of the stuff listed above, power lances, power lashes, ect. But that's fine, because in return we got... 3 new types of power armor that all look retarded and ugly antigrav shit?

Tactical Marines are classic and have a charm to them but with the more realistic proportions of the new models and a focus to a more serious grimdark tone the Mk7 just looks goofy. They've been phasing out a lot of the silly wacky stuff from before 2010 and in that context it's much easier to take primaris serious.

Necrons should occupy the role of smaller waves with tankier units like Chaos has done in 1 and 2 but with slower rate of fire from the ranged units. You have to double tap them to cancel reanimation but glory kills keeps them down for good.

I didn't care for the Primaris armor changes either way, the new models look better to be honest on the TT in terms of body proportions, the armor itself you can fix with custom prints or GWS official helms.

But the guns, the guns. Holy shit did they RUIN the guns. Someone please fucking explain to me on an automatic weapon why the FUCK is there a CYLINDER. Why would you fucking NEED to chamber rounds in a cylinder to fire them? WHY!?

This is also a problem with the new IG. They changed the unbroken beam from a lasgun to now being a star wars laser shot. Its insane. The 40k weapons were iconic and now they're moronic.

>>720674663
Yup, not one heroic is worth using.

>>720675351
Wrong. All the heroic weapons are straight downgrades from existing weapons.

Bolt pistol > Less damage than a HBP in gunstrikes and total damage when firing normally
Knife > same damage as block, harder to get stacks
Plasma > Far less effective than existing plasma weapons, outclassed by plasma/bolter and pyre
Sword > Outclassed by Fist
Chainsword > Hilariously under-powered, in fact one of the lowest DPS weapons in the game due to it being 1 speed, its gimmick is also tied around its fist heavy attack instead of the blade itself
Combi > worse than nade launcher by far, forces you to zoom in as well to use a close range blast

why are there three melee types in this game?

>>720687247
the xenophase blade is arguably worth using, and if you don't mind losing the aoe on heavy plasma it's basically an upgrade on bosses

>>720687383
Because the Saber lead dev is a retard who thinks block needs to exist. There should only be Fencing, and Block/Balanced deleted.

>>720687415
>1 speed
No

>>720687415
Its not, because the heavy attack on sword can kill everything just as quickly as spamming power rakes, plus you can then use fencing AND don't have a slow as shit attack to rely on. Its insanity that they went for that instead of something like a damage buff for switching modes which is the current weapon problem; no one ever uses lights.

>>720687383
because saber can't decide on how they want to do melee
balance weapons can strike the most enemies in a single swing, but you have to time your parries to meet the enemy attack
fencing weapons can't hit many enemies in a swing, but parrying is easy
block weapons can't parry, but can charge up a massive damage strike

>>720687571
I honestly don't get why anyone would use anything but fencing. When you're balls deep with fifty nids and warriors around you all attacking at once only fencing can protect you and provide infinite coverage.

>>720687571
>>720687782
i keep reading that fencing is for noobs but the campaign doesn't use fencing but rather balanced
i also keep reading that block are for contrarians and fencing has weak damage

>>720687994
The campaign is irrelevant, its piss easy baby mode.

Operations/Siege/Stratagems uses a different difficulty scaling, and at their maximum levels all that matters is survivability. Damage comes from gunstrikes, head clicking and passive combos like Vanguard gunstriking then grappling to deal massive AoE damage. Hell a fucking Bulwark, the most OP class in the game, doesn't even attack, they just parry and everything dies.

>>720687782
Fencing does make the most sense for a horde game like this, agreed. But the cleavage potential makes meleeing into a group of gaunts feel silly since only a couple of them will recoil. On top of the smaller damage. The devs should really give up on the types and fold them all together. Max cleaving, fencing parry windows, and blocks building adrenaline.

>>720687994
Fencing is easy parries, but parries save your life. Block is not for contrarians, the adrenaline surge buff you rev up leads to ridiculous one-shot damage builds.

>>720688156
>cleavage potential makes meleeing into a group of gaunts feel silly since only a couple of them will recoil.
Solved by just using parry to kill them instead as it wipes them out and gives you armor. Or shoot them.

Am I the only one who thinks that the Heroic version of the Bolt rifle should have been the Deathwatch Bolter from the intro and the Combi-melta should have been the Heroic for the Auto-bolter. The Deathwatch bolter is already fully modeled and animated in the game and it does have different stats compared to the bolt rifle. I honestly don't get why the devs have so much shit modeled and animated yet they never use it. The Aquilla chest piece was finally added after a whole year even thought it appeared in the game since day 1.

>>720690330
Smaller model for smaller marines, they would have to upsize it and those are the "old" weapons GWS doesn't want them advertised anymore

>>720662069
We've fought Tzeetench and Khorne, so I think it'd be cool if we fought Slaanesh just for a change. Nurgle would probably feel too much like the Tyranids.

>>720690479
>Smaller model for smaller marines
The first born are the same size as the Primaris in the Game so size doesn't matter in this case.
>those are the "old" weapons GWS doesn't want them advertised anymore
And Saber should tell GWs to go suck a cock. Nothing stops a table top player from gluing a first born weapon onto a Primaris model.

No he was not. He violated the protocols for this sort of thing in a manner that put the entire Chapter in danger. Him ending up as a Chaplain makes no sense and he should have been shipped off to the Deathwatch as penance.

That armor would be absolutely perfect for the Redemptors chapter and their way of fighting. The massive knife and bolt rifle look sick. There's something about power armor looking tacticool that really gets me. Like they actually have pockets for all the shit they are supposed to carry.

>>720693892
He had just witnessed something that is by most every account impossible, and had no access to the resources of his chapter that would be able to properly suss out what had occurred. The inquisition was literally standing five feet away so he made the correct judgement call.

>>720693892
>>720695051
What he should of done is contact the Chaplain to report his suspicion, not the Inquisition. Him becoming a Chaplain as punishment is fitting so he can learn what it means to be an actual Chaplain instead of ratting to the Inquisition.
It's the Chaplains job to make sure the moral and spiritual purity of the company is always pure.

>>720695365
>becoming one of the most respected and powerful members of the chapter
>punishment

>>720695051
Except that the Blood Ravens were on planet and would have command elements he could have gone to. A cousin Chapter is better than going to the Inquisition which would use any leverage it can over a Chapter due to the Inquisition not holding real authority over Astartes. Marine Chapters specifically avoid dealing with the Inquisition as much as possible specifically because of this. Ordo Xenos is probably the one exception due to the Deathwatch being a joint venture. The Inquisition is the absolute last place he should have gone to about this whole situation, especially without actual proof as at the time it was still no more than a suspicion. It was for a Chaplain or Librarian to address first.

>>720695410
Correct. Rather than make the situation worse or let it get out that one of their own fucked up substantially, he's being punished by doing a job he's admiditly good at, but likely doesn't want.
It also shuts him up.

>>720662069
no chaos
it is a futile dream

>>720695365
Entire chapters have fallen with stories that started similarly to Titus. Calling the chaplain on him at that point is like calling the hall monitor on an active shooter.

>>720696294
>Entire chapters have fallen with stories that started similarly to Titus.
And you know whose job it is to root it out and keep that from happening? The Chaplaincy of the Chapter. Lacking a Chaplain a Librarian is able to stand in temporarily to investigate potential corruption. What has also happened is Chapters getting scoured by the Inquisition due to suspected corruption, which is exactly why you don't go tattling to them and bringing the whole Chapter into question.

I want to punch a named traitor marine in the face so hard his skull flies out the back of his head.

>>720695365
>>720695915

1. He couldn't contact anyone in his chapter.
2. Being aside to a position of deep importance, with tremendous power and authority "just to learn what it's like" is retarded. Imagine a soldier in a modern army fucking up a call for fires and being promoted to the battalion artillery liaison to "learn responsibility". Maybe if Leandros fucked around with one of the thunderhawks and broke it he'd get made the company artificer?

>>720696294
They fall because they lack a Chaplain or they die. The entire point of a Chaplain is to make sure that the spirit of the Chapter is pure. This includes increasing moral through speeches or just talking with marines.
Calling the Inquisition is like bringing in the Spetnaz. They could either get the shooter or just as easily destroy the entire company and have them excomunicatus traitorus, especially if it's a company captain. This is especially bad for a first founding chapter like the Ultramarines. All hell would break lose if Titus becoming corrupted got out.

>>720699239
Exactly. Accusations of corruption is one of the few bargaining chips the Inquisition has over a Chapter, and it only works if there is evidence. That is why Leandros hand delivering a gift wrapped case of suspicion to the Ordo Hereticus is such a massive deal.
