Just another flavor of Chaos. Especially since it's going to be a tie in to the 500 Worlds campaign.

No, GW only wants the Mechanicus to be shown with the Necrons.

>>732234267
Not gonna lie, I'm going to be pretty fucking pissed and disappointed if 3 won't have necron enemies.

SM II’s opening cinematics looked pretty peak, I hope SM III’s are even better

>>732235817
That's just chaos.

>>732233935
Nazis.

We all know Chaos will be in but who should be the introductory faction we fight beforehand? My vote is Dark Eldar so we can get some fucked up visuals.

>>732233935
>orks out
>tyranids out
And just like that we're out of nameless npc factions. Oh who will we fight now.

Tyranids are literally the perfect enemy. I really don't want them to get left in 2.

THey really wanna go all in on the 'First faction is a horde enemy and the chaos faction is a lot tougher' gimmick but I think they kinda exhausted the xenos factions that are swarm based.
I say go with Drukhari and then ummmmmmm Nurgle for Chaos.

Tau are out because Tau army is based on hi-tech and drones. Space Marine 2/3 devs are Russians living and working in Russia.
They'd get mobik'd for insulting the Army or someshit.
And yeah, like others have said, you need some horde-based enemy for their notGears of War clone to work. Tau with their massive focus on ranged and shit are the complete antithesis of that.

>>732236118

If you go that way, with the current politics, they would not be able to work on the next game, so it be by the american part of the studio instead

the publisher of the game also is french

>>732237823

Playing a reverse Fire Warrior would be an interesting experience, but I want to see some even more obscure aliens like the Rak'Gul or those black screaming orb things.

They picked Tyranids because of the synapse mechanic, it's also the reason why players prefer fighting them over Thousand Sons

If they brought the Orks back it'll be hell since Shoota Boyz will keep firing even if they miss and there will be more melee in general, at least with Warriors they automatically kill off the tiny buggers if you kill them

Necrons will be bullet sponges and Tau/Eldar would be a bitch to fight

I hope we get to fight more than 2 different factions in SM3 if Titus has to retake those 500 worlds in that game. Also which Chaos Marine Legion would we fight in the game? I'm hoping for either Emperor's Children or Deathguard.

>>732236481
Tau aren't just the Tau, they also have the Kroot (which really should be their own faction or at least a defined subfaction) and Vespid which can fill the roles for enemy variety. The Tau Empire is kind of if the Covenant decided to dress up like Protoss.

Anon, they can't invent units for these. GW requires the use of modern, existing units from the tabletop (to promote it).
And the Tau didn't get any more alien units despite a slight push of Kroots and a refresh of all their models.
GW is clear on this one. It's just not where the money is and they only go where the money is, like any proper publically traded corporate.

>>732234267

I don't think they sell well enough for that.

>>732241445
I wouldn't call it a slight push when at least half of the Tau releases in the last few years have been the Kroot and Vespids

A 2nd Tau faction would be so hilariously unprofitable you might as well ask GW to make a space dwarf faction for how insane it sounds.

Did they walk back the woman custodes thing yet? Custodes are so cool I wanna see one in a vidya one day. Preferably giving the blood ravens another piece of their armor.

>>732235949
It's gonna be Necrons. Dark Eldar are maybe the only other faction that would have a mix of melee and ranged units, but I think it's more likely to be Necrons by virtue of their greater popularity. Tau are too range-focused to make much sense in a primarily melee-focused brawler.

>>732233935
Doesn't matter. SM3 will be as dogshit as SM2 is. Spongy enemies, limited classes, grinds, no fun allowed, forced chaos, worthless additions like PvP, ect.

>>732244142
No, they added them as figures recently, though it's just some character head.
they officially said they won't have women space marine though.
It's just a guess, but I think there was some debate over it, and they made women custodes as a way to keep space marine as the same while still giving something to the people who wanted so.

i hope whatever they do they speed up the combat, increase enemy count

playing darktide and fighting shit tons of enemies, and then playing SM2 as a literal space marine and barely being able to move as you melee while only fighting like 3 enemies at once feels so shitty

i liked sm2 but it needs a lot more intensity

>>732244142
Nope. You'll accept that Cuntstodes were always a thing and you'll shut your trap, chud.
I still can't believe they're trying to push this shit instead of giving the Sisters of Battle more love. I wouldn't be surprised if GW thinks SoB are somehow too sexualized or something retarded like that.

>>732244569
Because everyone is going to want to play it, meaning you won't even be able to pick it.

>>732244556
The sisters are too complicated for beginners probably
Custodes are very beginner friendly, and are also in another game, so double the profit

>>732244142
They've started including Femstodes in the new Scouring novels as they release.

Personally, if they want more women players, they should try to make a new faction that caters mostly to them, take some actual risk while also have it still fit the world.
I don't know how they could do that though, but I think it would work better and also make less people angry

>>732233935
Did GW have all this shit prepared before the success of Space Marine 2 or are they rushing all this shit out? Didn't they just make the Titus miniature model useless on the tabletop?

It's likely going to the 500 World's.. that being said, if I see a single fucking female Custodes or Space Marine I'm gonna go postal.

I like that the psyker in Darktide gets to talk to the Emperor. Space dad has spent 10,000 years in perpetual torment fighting the Chaos gods in hand to hand combat but still finds time to say nice things to the unhinged psyker.

Anything as long as they buff the bolt guns. Shooting a tyrannid warrior in the face 30 times is not satisfying at all. Even the gaunts take 2-4 shot in the torso when they should've died in one bolt. It's not satisfying. All bolter DPS should be buffed and their ammo ammo scarcer. Like, all non-heavy bolter should behave like stalker bolter, Semi auto but hit like a truck. It's like the devs forgot that the bolters are firing HE round by default.

Titus isn't fighting Chaos in 500 Worlds, he's fighting a literal who Necron Destroyer Lord. The book already came out and talked about how great and amazing Titus is, and how the Necron Lord was unable to comprehend Titus' amazing strategies such as 'Running away from ambushes'.
GW didn't want to offend SM2 fags so they gave Titus the easy and boring job of the event before moving on to the actually interesting parts.

>>732256240
i read a synopsis that titus fucks up with a necron artifact and half the ultramarine legion dies or some shit

Auric is a breeze once you get good as long as you don't have horrible teammates. Maelstrom is typically like a coin flip if you survive or not but still fun. Late havok is way more difficult but in an unfun artificial difficulty way where enemies get bullshit buffs and you get bullshit debuffs.

>>732258956
I wish havoc was more like getting an extra 10 talent points from 30-40, enemies get more numerous but the player also gets stronger

basically turn the game into some dynasty warriors thing

>>732258529
I did the first 2 levels so far on angel of death and it's not even that bad. Easier than playing operations on max difficulty because you get all the med stims to yourself.

Necrons and then Chaos of some flavor. Though in a subversion of SM1 and 2, have the Necrons slaughter Chaos and be the final boss of the third act, rather than the other way around

I would like to see
Necrons
-teased in the 2nd game with the tomb world anyway
-Ranged enemy

And as the customary "twist" chaos villain I'd like to see Khorn so you can have a melee focused enemy

Why though? Why would they make another Space Marine game so soon? It will divide the playerbase for barely any immediate profit.

as much as i love necrons, i worry about the power difference. like, it makes sense for space marines to chew through hordes of orks or tyranids, but necrons? i was always under the impression that they were made of sterner stuff, and more dangerous as well. if they're too fodder-like, i worry that it wont do them justice. if they're too tough, i worry that it will affect the game flow.

>>732233935
it's a horde shooter, so it needs to be a horde capable faction, which instanly removes tau and eldar from the board
it will be necrons with a flood of canoptel constructs for melee chaff and the occasional soldier for range fodder

>>732262706
the common cron is advanced but they usually get shat on by marines since at the end of the day they are just mindless robots, the thing that makes crons a threat is they are extremely advanced while having a shitton of crons that haven't come back yet

Necrons would be the coolest. Chaos will of course make its usual appearance which is a big shrug. They kind of fucked up nids, which is a shame.

I don't think they'll ever do better than the orks from 1. They were the perfect density to be fun to headshot, without feeling like an overwhelming swarm that you just wanted to spray.

I don't know what your problem was founded on (maybe you're just bad). I didn't have too much trouble with SM1 chaos (except for the flying bulletsponge drones). It's a matter of lascannons, meltaguns, headshots rage, grenades, etc. Just use all your tools.

I played the two Space Marine games and the first Dawn of War, I don't know anything about 40k lore outside of what's in the games but it really seems like after the Orcs and the Zergs(which were a massive step down from the Orcs) it's slim pickings in terms of possible enemies. The chaos shit is boring both in terms of aesthetics and gameplay and I'd care even less about anything that's robotic since the gore is half the fun

I wonder if the Spacehulk Deathwing devs will make another game.

>>732263005
It isn't worse than in 1 (anybody who says otherwise hasn't played 1 in too long) but it is incredibly obnoxious as the game was obviously designed around nids being mostly melee and having synaptic shock while thousand sons are opposite on both points
Rubrics teleport all over the place, they 95% try to shoot you from range, this terrible effect is compounded by the fact that bolter damage is fucking awful if you're not landing 100% headshots, so you don't get parries to keep up your armor while also having to manually kill every little snot traitor guard by hand

>>732263717
Pretty much only extremis spawn amount is increased and interval between spawns decreased.
Only way you get alot more minoris/majoris is if you suck and don't stop reinforcement calls.

>>732247473
The best part about the tau is that they're the good guys and you get to smash their faces under your boots.

>>732263926

I wonder if they'll get the same guy who did the music for Eye Divine Cybermancy.

>>732263954
Sounds exactly like the problems I laid out for SM1. It's basically the same thing that happens when playing Hard instead of Normal where you have to thin out hordes of Orcs first instead of just roflstomping them in melee, but turned up to 11 so the last few levels are just a cover shooter

>>732263954
>bolter damage is fucking awful
That's more a problem with the bolters in general. I remember thinking the bolters were weak as shit against everything. It didn't feel right to see the smaller nids not die to a single bolt.

>>732263962
>Pretty much only extremis spawn amount is increased
Absolutely wrong, playing on substantial or ruthless feels completely empty comparatively. Even basic idles you get 3-4 warriors just sitting around every 50 feet compared to 1, let alone swarms where eight warriors spawn at once and another eight flow in over the course while dozens of gaunts show up. A single massive wave has more enemies in it than an entire average or substantial mission. And that's before the extremis pack spawns, the guaranteed terminus spawn, the possible 2nd terminus spawn, and the guaranteed waves of extremis and/or warriors that accompany their spawns.

the campaign is done, the only stuff they're adding now is for operations
>>732264197
Yeah but at the very least in 2 being able to parry, being immune during executes, and rubrics actually being visible compared to the muddy smudge that was 1's CSM means its only obnoxious to fight instead of making you want to slam your head into a wall. The campaign is easy enough, especially with coop, the real issue is shit like Reliquary or Vortex in operations

>>732264863
>the campaign is done
Oh are all the DLCs done? I wasn't talking about MP content but actual expansions you can buy

>>732264927
I don't think they have any plans for DLC expansions, it's all free coop missions and paid cosmetic packs.

>>732264927
Oh nevermind I just looked at the season passes and they're only adding shit for the MP mode
What the fuck? So the SP content was done the second the game released and I've waited all this time for nothing?

>>732264989
Yeah see >>732264991
For some reason I thought all these DLCs added little solo campaign scenarios. Guess I was just being retarded

>>732264927
There are no expansions, the only stuff to buy is cosmetic shit, all the actual additional content for operations is free

>>732264991
Kind of yeah, you've still got time they've probably got no actual words on metaphorical paper regarding SM3 given that they don't even have the next cosmetic pack made
and saber probably won't have anything regarding sm3 for a while given how much they're having to split to keep up WWZ, sm2, build sm3, and also release that toxic avenger game

>>732265059
Oh neat, maybe I'll give the multiplayer a try then. Never touched MP in 1

>>732262480
Yes they do and fighting chaos is always the weakest and most boring part.
They should have stopped doing that after the 1st game.

>>732263005
Most accurately would be saying that they are meh to fight against.
Which is the same issue that the 1st game had.
The enemies preceding them are more exciting to engage with.
Doesn't help that with the health system ranged enemies can be an absolute pain in the ass.
Another big factor for me is the synapse mechanic of the nids.
Large groups of small shitters can be more dangerous than warriors but killing warriors harms the horde so there is a risk/reward aspect influencing wether you try to thin them out to decrease the damage or focus on the big guys to kill the horde as a whole.

>>732262480

>>732265352
Bloodletters are khorne but black legion are undivided
but one daemon does not a faction theme make, especially when GW seems very intent on sidelining daemons in 40k to make more space for the traitor legions when horrors didn't even show up in 2

>>732265295
Slaanesh is as melee-focused ad Khorne.

>>732233935
Orks are the best horde enemy in 40k and its not even close. Also, chaos but khornite warband with mutants, traitor guard and cultists (bigger than normal human but smaller than SM) so mid tier not elite but not minoris lvl enemies, but relatievly few but powerful chaos marines.

>>732265778
they're a bunch of noise marines and fast attack shit; tzaangor enlightened have shown just what "evasive/fast skirmish or hybrid unit" translates into. Khorne is direct, up front, in your face, and can easily fill out the entire minoris/majoris/extremis/terminus roster by themselves. The ideal chaos enemy would be a khorne/nurgle combo force, a plague of rage (super rabies) turns a bunch of humans into 28 days later zombies and then you get access to khorne champion melees and fat nurgle shits that corral the hordes
Tangentially related, neither the discgors nor the chaos spawn have made the thousand sons more fun to fight with how saber have made them, do not extend any degree of trust to those vatniks to make something fun if even the merest hint of it being able to be horrible is present. Anybody who wants crons to be the main enemy of 3 is a loon even with the new drones they added for kill team.

>>732265778
Yes but they are the lithe jumpy agile types not the muscle-meat sacks. Its much more fun to kill an enemy with 3 big brutal attacks than to miss the frist two and then kill it with the 3rd glancing blow.

>>732266351
Not him and I never played the tabletop but I was under the impression that all factions have a mix of melee and ranged, so any faction could be a melee horde or a ranged spam shitter

Absolutely not
Even besides the ranged or melee focus of an army, both for mechanical viability and simple theming, the only functional horde/swarm armies are
>nids
>orks
>IG
>sometimes chaos
You can have a good amount of cron warriors or fire warriors but nowhere near the amount of guardsmen or gaunts or boys someone else would have.
For crons or eldar, even including some of the weird shit added for fireteams, their basic minoris enemy would be a fairly tough/fast ranged unit with a fast projectile or even hitscan, and crons having the added gimmick of resurrection. If rubric warriors pissed you off at all imagine having 3x as many, only marginally less durable but able to revive themselves. The basic infantry of some factions is equivalent to the veterans upgrade options of others.

>>732266813

>remember the heldrake
horrors is not a generic term it is a specific unit, pink, blue, and brimstone horrors are lesser demons of tzeentch
>>732267613
no i'm focused on making the game actually be fun. SM2 is a horde shooter with a melee focus, suddenly making the enemy encounters be about fighting off 12 mostly ranged dudes who are flitting around between cover would be overwhelmingly awful to fight unless they remade the game from the ground up to suddenly be a cover shooter only horde factions work and thousand sons have shown that even being a horde but predominantly ranged fucks sucks to play against when literally all of your defensive mechanics are best served by being in melee. Unless they make larraman's cells some baseline shit in the sequel any non-horde, non infantry melee faction would just be a pain in the dick but grigoryonko hates the playerbase.

>SM2 is a *specific thing*
Exactly. It's SM2. It was different from SM1, which was more shooty and that worked fine. I think SM3 is going to be different again. Less hoardy, because we've run out of hoard factions.

>>732268260
>which was more shooty and that worked fine
No it wasn't, actually replay 1's later levels and say that you enjoy hugging cover in your non-regenning hp against all the big shootas and rokkits or CSM. When the game is designed for melee to be the source of your sustain and then completely shuts you out it then slows to a crawl where you're weirdly peaking out of poorly designed cover trying to snipe a flash git while a weird boy pummels you.
>run out of horde factions
Ignoring that they haven't because khorne and nurgle are still around i'd rather them reuse orks or nids than trust them to make crons or tau or eldar, or any of the other shit people want, fun to fight. Short of GW inventing entirely new, horde focused units for these factions the russians in charge will make the game awful to play.

>>732268630
I had lots of fun with SM1. Later levels were tense when I had to press in for an execution. That's the incentive to be more aggressive. You can only regain health via melee but you also do most of your damage at range. You have the iron halo for chip damage. Great game, and they added to it with the improved melee of SM2. I have faith that they'll refine and improve the gameplay again against less hoardy enemies.

>>732269198
You have 100 demigods with air control, total mobility, and armor support who can appear like a meteor in the most important locations to decapitate leadership or sabotage critical infrastructure. A company of astartes can conquer a planet the same way the US conquered venezeula, we bombed the fuck out of anything vaguely threatening and then kidnapped the big names then dealt cards with the rest.
