Yesterday, Nic took James and I on a tour of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2‘s co-op campaign. A merry old time was had, romping through fortress cities like a small herd of crusader buffalo, using the game’s absurd jetpack functionality to pancake invading Tyranids, and getting our screens so slathered in gore we couldn’t work out who was killing what.
It looks like the gargantuan action game’s PvP multiplayer will be even messier. Saber and Focus Home have released an extended trailer that walks you through two major modes – the PvE boss and wave-slaying frenzy of Operations, and the 12-player PvP carnage of Eternal War, which spans a range of match types. The ecstasy of dying for the Emperor aside, both give me frightful flashbacks to the early days of Gears Of War.
