I like how all the people in here haven't played the original. Gears of wars are mainly cover-based shooter anyway. This is way more out in the open there is no cover other than maybe hiding behind like some errant cover that's in the environment but it's you are walking tank and you were getting health by doing executions and killing m************ and you have melee combat. Play the first space Marine guys. Also there is an animated series that's been out now called pariah nexus.
Luetin09 has the BEST Warhammer 40K Lore channel HANDS DOWN!!! Anything you want to know he covers in long form videos! SO MUCH MYTHOLOGY!!! Do yourselves a favor brothas!
Hammer and Bolter is the anime of the 40K universe it just came out last year with fifteen episodes and its AWESOME, but I would recommend watching lore videos first especially the ones by Bricky, he explains every faction so well and wit a comedic touch.
Gears of war is new compared to warhammer,Technically this is what a Space Marine game should be like,Every fan knows this in the 40k universe,Gears of war can’t match warhammer they’d get demolished by space marines
Bricky just released a half hour video on the 40k timeline. Its light touches of lore to set up humanity and how we got the Imperium set up, then fucked, up.
