Tactical marines/chaos marines with chain sword and bolter, something i felt they missed in space marine that and the execution and yes as tornadium said the melee seemed a bit more slower than space marine but i hope even with that one wrong move will decised your faith.....No mercy!
A bit slower melee is a good thing, as they said they will have blocking and stuff. For me, the pace was pretty much OK. I can nearly see the Eldar doing it faster and moving much lighter)
The problem with Space Marine's melee, was that the chain sword/ power sword (just a reskin anyway) was the "correct" weapon in terms of speed and power. Anything else was too slow, and left you too open (try missing with a power hammer, and see what happens). With a slower melee combat, I wonder if they are trying to keep the balancing of weapons practical. Also, now that I think about it, what the heck are the orks going to be like. They carry some big stuff......... Also, warp talons?
For Pre-Alpha it has completely exceeded my expectations. Combined with the fact that this game has another 2 years of development time? Sheeeeeit, son. Gonna be GOTY. Anyone else notice that overhead chainsword stance that he had while he was charging down from the sky? Gonna be amazo.
On the next order of business. Does it look like there is something in that Drop Pod, I swear at one point there is something firing from it, looks a bit big for it to be a space marine.
I noticed the really pretty backdrop and the background artillery. Also that the blood effects are ugly placeholders.
