I've played the demo four times now (Inquisitor 3 times, Battlements once), and I must say it is looking quite good. All can I really do is nitpick at a couple of areas.

I counted four execution moves with the Chainsword, and four (I think) with the Power Axe. That's pretty good, but seeing as the game forces you to do the executions in order to stay alive, I imagine adding one or two more animations and adding a way to not to the same one twice in a row would be a cosmetic bonus. I think this is remedied however with the final game as, after watching videos about it, I have seen more, new animations for executions.

I was a little disappointed that the Power Axe didn't actually cut through enemies like I imagine it should, and rather acted basically, a normal axe. Still cool though!

The Orks voices weren't what I was expecting. Yeah, they're pretty good, but the Nobz sound like they have a sore throat from yelling "Waaagh!" too much (and they certainly yell it a lot). Still cool though.

Occasional camera problems.

And that's about it.

Some things I like: good variety of enemies, and even more to come. I counted Gretchin, Bomb Squigs, Slugga Boyz, Shoota Boyz, Nobz, and Tankbustas (or just boys with rokkit launchas). Considering what else is in store, I think that having a range enemies will not be a problem for this game.

The attention to detail and great look of the game really enthuses me! Everything looks spot on. Just about everything sounds great. Looking forward to getting the full thing when it comes out! ;D

I love the idea of bomb squigs  ;D

I'm still having problems downloading the Demo. On some other forums it is said that you have to pre order the game to be able to play the demo. This seems very strange. I assume you gyuys are not finding that?

Arquarian, I downloaded the demo and I haven't pre-ordered it.

Though I am still having graphic problems, but checking the steam forums it is encouraging to know that guys with better hardware are having teh same problems.

I tried it yesterday, and it seems entertaining. Although, unless it's coop and my friend's up for it, I'll probably not get it.

It seems a bit much like Gears of War, without the 'jumping to cover' bits.

It is pretty easy to draw parallels to Gears. Heck, as soon as I saw the Bomb Squigs I thought of Tickers (but of course - maybe? Probably - Bomb Squigs existed before Tickers).

While Gears probably is a better game (although it can't be directly compared because there is less focus on combat - plenty of gore between them though!), its hard to tell just how good the game is from only two small segments. There is a lot in there that hasn't been seen (or made available for demo, I should probably say) yet, I imagine. Plus, it's 40k!

Aye, and like Lomandalis I didn't have to pre-order it either. When I first tried to download the demo, it wouldn't even let me click the button on the steam store page, but after going through Honor Guard to get the code, I went back (after it told me I already had it) and it finally let me select the 'Download Demo' option.

Downloading the demo now  :)

I've heard that the game has only single player campaign on release but about a month later they are going to patch it to let you play the campaign co-op.
Multiplayer deathmatch is of course available straight away.

Word of advice to anyone planning to play this on computer.  If you haven't already, go out and buy yourself a top of the line video card as otherwise you won't be able to play this.  Apparently having a 1.5 year old card is not adequate enough to play this cleanly.

Co op will be available 30 days after release and is basically the last stand from dow2, but with a few minor changes

I had a big Cheshire grin the whole time i played the demo. It looked, felt and sounded so right. I am looking forward to the multipalyer with the armour customisation so much.

I was however unable to get the demo to work on my computer. In installed fine and i can start the game and start the missions but it crashes as soon as i get to a cutscene, ie with the servo skull and getting the jump pack (which is at the very beginning of both missions sadly).  It seems to be a video card issue.

One nit picky complaint i do have is that i think it's strange playing as a Captain. Surely he should be directing his company and the overall war effor, not getting bogged down, slogging through solo missions. Captains are supposed to be strategists as well as warriors after all. I would have thoguht it would make more sense playing as say a veteran marine from his command squad.

If there are few marines then a captain will be at the front doing the heavy lifting, I'm sure it will be explained in the games story

My friends have been telling me about it all day. And I can't get it until friday. Can't wait.

Just over 24 hours before I try to get my copy. Luckily it doesn't have as big a hype as something like Battlefield or CoD, so I shouldn't be too hard pressed to get a copy.
