Warhammer 40K II

[Flo]

I don't really know what to think about the Tyranids as a new race.
I have the same problem with them that I had with the introduction of the Necrons in Dark Crusade: I just can't really tell what kind of unit I see.
Is it "infantry" or "vehicle", is it good against infantry or vehicles/buildings etc.
That has to be clear without studying the race for hours.


Furthermore there will only be a Space Marine campaign again. No Orks, no Eldar campaign :*(
And no base building in SP, but in MP. I wonder how that will work.


From what I've seen in the videos there is some...how should I say..."harshness" missing, especially in the sync-kills. When that SM commander jumps on the Ork's head and beats him dead with his hammer there is not enough *BAM!* as it is in DOW. (Force Commander beats Bloodthirster for example).

But I really like the new effects, especially the new bolter effects. And there is nothing needed to say about the cover system from CoH which they will use - that'll be awesome, too.
If the boys from Relic don't mess things up I think we will see a very good strategy game in early 2009.
