I notice that u guys already have some Marine models which a skinned up as "Ultramarines" maybe it would be a idea to do Tyranids and do the battle of macragge as a starting point.

That is indeed a concept that is being played with, along with several other things.

It should be mentioned that although Bob as hes being called is indeed a ultramarine at this time there is also talk of him being re-skinned to suit the final style of gameplay. Deathwatch, Blood Angels, Imperial fists and others have been mentioned in relation to the variious gameplay styles.

As has been said in other places there will be vote about the exact nature of how RS2 will work after the race has been decided.

id love to play battle for macragge tho :)

sounds dangerous :twisted:

well from what i understand of the concept is that you will indeed play one of the relief companies of ultramarines that arrived after the defence of the polar fortress, it will be co-op and your job will be to enter the polar fortress and clense it of remaining 'nids.

This will be part of the AI Vs Humans settings and will get progressibly nastyer the deeper into the fortress you go.

although again i state that this is only my understanding of it and it is subject to the Vote.

interesting...
interesting.
Just a question: will there be, along the co-op maps (that I think are great), the "standard" pvp maps?

that has yet to be decided, there will be a Vote on it.

Well here is a idea, u can have Tyranids lower life forms (guants,rippers) as NPC whilst the higher minded creature (Canrifex,Tyrant,etc) as player usuable

again, something similar is being thought about as a play style involving synapse creatures and HL2 style antlion action.

but remeber theres still time left on the race vote so it may be orks that we end up doing as they have only 1 vote to tie and 2 to win.

so go vote nids if you havn't already :P

Guest, whoever you are, their will be either PvP or Coop maps, but not both (at first anyway)
