Titus? Did this come first in the Warhammer fiction and did Blizzard get all... Blizzard-y?

Man this "first" quest is like a black hole that sucks up all constructive, creative comments. I hate it.

Ultramarines are awesome, Marneus Calgar is the most awesome looking Marine character in the game too.

Really liking how this turning out. I love the concept of the 40k Universe, and the RTS games Relic has put out are tons of fun. Looking forward to this.

This game looks miles ahead of where it was the last time I saw it.  I wonder if there is going to be any real character customization and whether or not it will be as complex as it was in Dawn of War 2.

Also, jump packs?  They would be awesome to see up close.

I don't know why, but everything I've seen about this game so far looks kind of monotonous and boring to me. I hope I'm wrong, because I really enjoyed the RTSs.

So the story is the same as every Dawn of War 2 game then? Orks versus Space marines, grim antagonist, chaos marines come in and fuck shit up, and someone on the space marine side falls to chaos and betrays his friends? Honestly the story sounds shitty. Tau, Necrons, Grey Knights, Eldar, Dark Eldar, all could make the story way better. Also, they should use the other space marine chapters, the blood ravens and ultramarines have next to no interesting back story. Crimson fists, Blood angels, space wolves, dark templars, all have way more interesting lore.

I love the 40k stuff Relic is doing, but I would kill for them to go back to their earlier stuff like Homeworld.

Well only DoW was Blood Ravens, every other game has been Ultramarines. Looks like DMO will be Black Templars so that's something to look forward to.

So what this video is saying is that in this game you will fight a ton of Orks, then, after being betrayed, fight other Space Marines, then at the end fight some Chaos dudes, and end in a cliffhanger where the forces of Chaos are about to invade. Got it.

Hoping for a co-op campaign. Probably what will make the game not only "a 40k game" but actually a brilliant one... yes, 2-4 player co-op would simply be delicious, along with the gear customization they promised in order to be able to fill different roles through the campaign. Oh man, yes.

Agreed 2-4 coop campaign with each member having a different role in the squad would be a nice change.

I agree with what others have said that the story sounds bland. Having run deathwatch and rogue trader table top rpg, there are so many things that could have been done and not looked ripped off other sci fi adventures.

Still hate Ultra Marines. Very bland chapter. Fallen Angels pls :D
