Warhammer 40000: Space Marine

Description:

In Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine you are Captain Titus, a Space Marine of the Ultramarines chapter and a seasoned veteran of countless battles.A millions-strong Ork horde has invaded an Imperial Forge World, one of the planet-sized factories where the war machines for humanity?s never ending battle for survival are created. Losing this planet is not an option, but a darker and far more evil threat is lurking large in the shadows of this world.With an Imperial liberation fleet en-route, the Ultramarines are sent in to hold key locations until reinforcements arrive. Captain Titus and a squad of Ultramarine veterans use bolter and chainsword to take the fight to the enemies of mankind.

Combat system:

Space Marine features a fluid combat system that allows players to seamlessly switch from ranged to melee weapons without interrupting the flow of combat.Hitting the melee button at any time will result in a close range strike with the equipped hand-to-hand weapon as well as the camera pulling out to melee distance. Pulling either trigger will instantly snap the view back to behind the player?s shoulder ready for precise shooting. These systems are immediately responsive and leave the player in full control at all times.As the player dispatches enemies in Space Marine they will be earning FURY which can be used to unleash devastating ranged or melee attacks. The player can use FURY MARKSMAN to enter a heightened form of awareness where time seems to slow down allowing them to pick off multiple ranged enemies in the blink of an eye. Alternately the player can opt to utilize their FURY STRIKE up close and personal with a sweeping area of affect attack that will obliterate anything close enough and knock-back and stun more distant foes.

Weapons

Chain sword:The standard melee weapon for Space Marine with motorized monomolecular-edged teeth capable of slicing through armour, flesh, and bone. Fast and responsive in the hands of Assault Marine it is capable of sawing through a variety of enemies.

Plasma gun: A two handed rifle that fires pulses of superheated ionized gas towards the enemy that detonate with the power of a small sun.While extermely effective at melting through enemy armour and vehicle, the plasma gun is also prone to building up dangerous levels of heat that must be vented to prevent the shooter from being injured.

Power sword:More powerful than the Chainsword, the Power Sword sacrifices some of the additional damage of heavier melee weapons like the Power Axe with a faster attack speed.

Thunder Hammer:An extermely powerful, but slow melee weapon that builds up an immense energy charge that is released upon impact with a target and decimates everything within its area of effect.

Bolter:The standard Space Marine assault weapon that fires small missles, or 'bolts'. Each self-propelled bolt contains an explosive charge that detonates once it has penetrated the target, blowing it apart from the inside. Effective against a wide variety of targets.

Bolt Pistol:A handheld sidearm version of the bolter that is typically wielded alongside the chainsword.

Stalker pattern bolter:Most typically found amongst the Ultramarines and their sub chapters, the Stalker Pattern is a semi automatic bolter upgraded with enhanced targetting arrays and is deadly at medium to long range.

Single Player:

CAPTAIN TITUSCaptain Titus of the Ultramarines has fought for the Imperium for more than 150 years. Although considered a relatively young Space Marine, he is a decorated veteran of major campaigns waged across the galaxy ? his exploits have earned him a reputation as one of the mightiest Ultramarines.Over his long service, Titus has overcome countless opponents and suffered many wounds, both physical and psychological. In his earliest days, he struggled to overcome his own temper. Later, he survived the death of his entire squad at the hands of a Chaos Sorcerer; Titus killed the fiend, but suffered terrible wounds -- and some questioned how he survived.Titus became company commander when his predecessor died in battle. He was by his mentor's side when he fell, and still feels the weight of taking over his mantle.

SERGEANT SIDONUSSergeant Sidonus, the Veteran Ultramarine, has seemingly seen it all. His ?been there, done that, no problem? attitude and dry sense of humor instantly serve to defuse tense situations. But when faced with the enemy, Sidonus is their worst nightmare ? a brutally efficient warrior who won?t stop until every enemy lies dead at his feet.As Captain Titus? closest friend and confident, Sidonus has served the Imperium for 225 years and bears the marks of this extended battle ? including a bionic arm to replace one lost in battle against the Tyranids. When an Eldar weapon destroyed his eye and part of his face, Sidonus decided to leave the scars in place as a reminder of his victory over this formidable enemy.

LEANDROSLeandros is the most recent inductee to the Ultramarines command squad. He is a ?by the book? Ultramarine, revealed by his overly formal speech and his enthusiasm to do things just right.Leandros often speaks with little tact ? to his mind, all actions must serve the Emperor, and he will question the motives of anyone he suspects of not giving their all for the Imperium. He?s lost perspective on what it?s like to face the world from a human standpoint, and is especially patronizing to the surviving Imperial Guard soldiers he encounters on the Forge World.He looks up to battle brothers Titus and Sidonus, but especially Titus, whom he sees as the type of Ultramarine he aspires to become. He sometimes goes overboard in pursuing what he thinks is a noble course of action, because he wants to prove himself and his abilities.

2ND LIEUETANANT MIRA2nd Lieutenant Mira leads a beleaguered Imperial Guard force against the Ork invaders of the Forge World. Her soldiers are survivors of a much larger detachment that was decimated after the Orks cut them off from orbital support and reinforcements.Lieutenant Mira was part of the 203rd Cadian regiment that was on route to another war zone. Their troop carrier was suddenly diverted to Forge World Graia as the only Imperial Guard force close to the planet.Mira?s experience and skill as a tactician, coupled with her uncompromising humanity and refusal to give up, commands fierce loyalty among her men. All she wants is to save the soldiers she?s sworn to lead, but she sees little hope of withstanding the Orks for much longer.
