Space Marine 2 multiplayer desperately needs to fix its chaos problem

The PvP multiplayer in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Allows players to fight in combat as a Space Marine or a Chaos Marine in the Eternal War with a number of different combat modes. There is an impressive amount of character customization options in the PvP mode for the Space Marine classes. This excitement does not extend to the opposing faction, with the Chaos Marines is severely lacking in the personalization department.

A vast customization option for a PvP character may not have been what players thought they needed in a Space Marine game, but now that they’ve tasted a slice of it, it can be even more disappointing to not be able to design their own Chaos Marine. What’s even worse is the fact that they are randomized into a team when they start a PvP match, Sometimes Restricting players from even using their customized Space MarinesInstead forced to fight with a much less inspirational Chaos Marine.

The customization options are almost endless

The PvP customization options for the Space Marine faction are so plentiful, Players are spoiled for choice in how their perfectly personalized Space Marine can look. From the armor style, to the color of each individual section of the armor, to the heraldry and decal, to even the weapon of the marine, players are gifted the option to build an accurate marine or a completely eccentric creation. It allows the player a form of individualistic expression when fighting alongside their fellow Space Marines against the agents of Chaos, with a different type of immersion from Space Marine 2s story missions.

Character customization is an underrated aspect in a third-person action shooter. Where a player would expect a role-playing game such as Baldur’s Gate 3 Or Cyberpunk 2077 To give countless character options to the RPG experience, it’s a breath of fresh air to see such consideration given to an action-packed, shooter/hack-and-slash game like Space Marine 2. Unfortunately, this consideration only stretches to the Space Marine side, while the Chaos Marines were largely left on the shelf.

They deserve the same as the Marines

Unlike their Imperium-devout counterparts, the Chaos Marines are limited to a class-oriented appearance only, Offer little more than color alteration. This seems like a missed opportunity to build on the terrifying and gruesome details that the Chaos Marines weave into their lover’s choices. This makes them feel more like copied and pasted basic troops rather than the personalized masterpiece of a Space Marine the player can build for their PvP experience. It can be disappointing for the player to miss out on their individual Space Marine, considering They will be Forced into the Armies of Chaos about 50% of the time.

It’s quite possible that Saber Interactive is holding back the Chaos Marine customization for future DLC. With the popularity of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2And its generally very positive critical reception, Saber Interactive will almost certainly capitalize on the game’s success and build on aspects that need further exploration. This could include more focus on the Chaos Marines, offering more customization options or perhaps a dedicated story arc. Meanwhile, the creative inspiration of players is saved for the Space Marine loyalists.
