Warhammer 40K: Space Marine Co-Op Revealed, First Screens

Finally the co-op details are revealed for Space Marine

We poked and prodded, stopping short of threatening violence - but we just couldn't get the co-op details out of THQ for their upcoming action game, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.  Finally, mere days before release, we've got the official details of the mode.

The online only survival mode is called Exterminatus, putting a squad of four Space Marines against Orks and other baddies in a violent score based fight to the death.  There are three classes to choose from: the Tactical Marine, Devastator or Assault Marine and players will be able to utilize weapons and perks available to those classes from both co-op and multiplayer versus modes.

There appears to be two co-op maps, or scenarios as the press release states.  Assault on Hab Center Andreas and Escape From Kalkys Facility will be your battleground.  While two maps seem pretty slim pickens, the press release states there will be dynamic objectives, scoring modifiers and leaderboards to add replayability.

Exterminatus will be available as DLC in October and will be free to all owners of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine.  We've got the first screenshots of it in action right below.

agreed I am drooling a little over those screenshots and the prospect of co-opping with my friend. However the information is still too little for me to actually preorder the game, even though I LOVE warhammer.

But why can't I have the bloody singleplayer campaign in co-op I weep!

I would have considered Space Marine for a co-op campaign too, but after I played the demo, the SP would make me furious.

i played the demo last weekend... campaign co-op would have rocked! playing this sort of game alone does not interest me at all. plus, the AI was pretty useless. it's a shame!

Wasn't really holding my breath for this to be a co-op jewel. No split screen no campaign co-op = no purchase.

I only have Torchlight 2 and Resistance 3 to look forward to for co-op (my bro is getting Uncharted 3 so I'll play that at his place). Pity Resistance 3 doesn't have a hoarde/survival mode. Now that game is suited to such a mode and Insomniac has got good netcode split screen online support to make it work well.

I really enjoyed the demo, so this is a purchase even with the limited co-op.

This is good news!!!! They just hit my demographic. I may be keeping an eye out more for this game now. Before, I was interesting. But we all know a good game becomes amazing with co-op

Under the topic "Wishful Thinking"...so the co-op add-on isn't coming for a month or so. What's the chance they could add split-screen? Having no idea at all what would be involved in that process...is it at all possible?

"wishful thinking" is right (i'd say it's pretty unlikely).
