In the game, usual human heretics is killed with one shot and are basicaly a cannon fodder for chaos, but sometimes they drop a greanade upon dying which can damage you a fair bit. It's a good example how an ingame mechanic can portray lore inderectly and in a clever way.

Considering in lore, standard space marines prior to the primaris, were able to take bullet wounds to the eye, unarmored. Said wound was considered minor due to the healing capability of an astartes. Unless the piece of rebar also pierced the point where the brain and spine meet, he should have survived the explosion due to the armor being still intact.

I haven't verified myself, but there's a point in the game where guardsmen are going nuts from Chaos, but some are resisting it and clinging to sanity. Apparently the ones resisting all have purple eyes meaning there true Cadia-born Cadians and have more resistance to Warp Shenanigans.
@@vitreousgibbon2453 IIRC Cadian regiments are still made up of Cadians and recruited from Cadian dispora, but "Cadian Shock Troops" are just soldiers trained to use the same tactics and equipment developed on Cadia. Therefor the Cadian 8th is still of Cadian decent but "Cadian Shock Troops" can be found in any Regiment from anywhere. The meta reason for this is so tabletop players could use non-Cadian color schemes for the Cadian models. Its not really surprising since there were millions of Cadians off world, and its common for soldiers to start families with other soldiers since they don't really have any other option. Any children they have are raised to become soldiers themselves in the same Regiment.

Sounds like the rail rifle almost bagged two Marines. Pathfinders typically carry the smaller ones, had it been a heavy rail rifle both Marines would be dead outright, no deflecting that.
@@AK-dr1ddYep. He couldve shot or jumped back 20 feat from the guy who triggered the explosion the moment he moved a muscle.

Astartes could never fight Eldar if they werent comparative in speed.

He should’ve taken off his helmet. Statistics even during ww1, when helmets became standard issue, indicates that head injuries always go up when soldiers wear helmets. This is the year 40k ffs. They had 38000 years to learn.
That's neat and all, but I'm just confused because we're talking about Space Marines here, not only does he have ludicrously fast reflexes but also remember that the game opens with someone wearing an older model of armor and it kept him unscathed when he fell from orbit while here an upgraded version was completely punched through by an IED. Feels like a pretty easy to spot mistake in the directing/writing that could be easily fixed by having him kill the cultists with everyone else, only to be then grievously injured by the KSons that appear right after
Well, it busted his comms in the helmet, which are internal so that's a LOT of damage to the head, and that chunk of rebar went straight into the eye, very likely the weakest point in any helmet. Let alone that A. He probably didn't even know it was a bomb until it went off, and/or B. There's side dialogue suggesting he jumped between the squad and the explosion, intentionally taking it to save them.
Would he qualify for the stripe being as he was fatally wounded as a Deathguard and then resurrected as a Primaris? UM to DG to Primaris UM, demoted too. Wouldn't he now be ranked as a noob Primaris, albeit a lieutenant? I'm not up to speed on the nuances of Primaris stature as yet, so I'm spitballing. Thing is, his service studs give his status away immediately either way. The actual thing that frustrated me in SM2 was that even though Calgar and many other high ranking Ultramarines signed off on Titus being reinstated as a Primaris at lieutenant, then why was the 2nd Company Captain, and Sargent Gadriel giving Titus a load of ball ache. That's bad form. You'd expect Calgar's word to be solid enough that not one marine below Chapter Master would question it. But... we could probably expect someone such as Leandros to sew a little discontent there I suppose, and with him now being a Chaplain for the 2nd Company, it'd be interesting to see how Titus and Leandros get along as part of Calgar's personal retinue.
Skittering masses that want to digest you, things with claws and teeth, acid, flying things, viral bombs... seems like a FANTASTIC place to take off my helmet.
Helmetless space marines being a sign of a nigh unkillable main character has been a Warhammer trope for actual decades. It's tradition at this point, and if you wanted a setting that always makes sense you came to the wrong one lol.
Nah, they didn't. The fact what space marine alarmed enemy to his cover being blown and then veteran being slower to asses the situation, lift his weapon and shoot heretic than him realizing he is uncovered, reaching for terminal and activating explosion is fucking horendous. Maybe not every guardsmen but every Cadian recruit would've done better in their place.
Why should it? If you expect things like this from every game no wonder people like you are always miserable and disappointed about every game release.
@@CaptainSkylocke I'm not miserable every game release, but you can't deny the quality of AAA games the last 5 years has been trash. I'd argue your standard is just very low. Any decently written story weaves back in references to previous events, to accentuate the impact on the World Space Marine 2 is a damn good game. Room for improvement, but an easy 7.5 - 8 / 10
Is this the state of gaming? It didn't feel like a small detail. It's just normal/good world building. Things that happen around you have consequences. It's not that impressive

See, the mistake was putting the helmet on. Would've had enough plot armor to not need deflection without it.
Still unsure how that explosion killed him. Even a melta bomb at that distance shouldn't have been lethal, I'm pretty sure.
This game tell us, even helmet doesn't made you important character
*especially helmet doesn't make you important...
@@dr.calibrations7984 and..... that's what I just....... said it
@Daiciyomon_4594
You said even
Even is a different context
You wouldn't say; "even Khorne likes a good skull for his throne." You'd say: "Khorne especially likes a skull for his throne
@@dr.calibrations7984 I can see that you don't like it at all haha
*Techpriest:* Today you will be interred within a sacred sarcophagus Varellus do you understand?
*Varellus:* This will keep me alive?
*Techpriest:* Indeed, within this holy machine you will fight once more for your chapter. Though you may experience some... Odd emotional changes.
*Varellus:* I do not care, begin the procedure priest!
*Techpriest:* Very well, beginning now...
**Machinery Whirs To Life**
*Techpriest:* Procedure complete, brother Varellus are you alright?

EA: We made a poorly cobbled together “AAAA” game that nobody liked in 2024
Saber: We made a faithful execution of a game that could have easily existed in 2010 any everyone loved it
so drop from thunderhawk and land on a face is fine but exploading laptop is a space marine killer =)
Dropping from AA thunderhawk doesn't shoot rebar through your eye, looks throughout history every suit of armours weakness has been the eyes
@@zipperdan3969 Plus you hit a load of tree's first which would slow your fall a bit
@@zipperdan3969 didnt see that rebar
its good to know i cant click on any space marine 2 video without it being a spoilder
what do i expect from someone that uses russian subitles.
Well stop clicking on random videos of a game you don't want spoiling 🤦
He should’ve taken off his helmet.
Statistics even during ww1, when helmets became standard issue, indicates that head injuries always go up when soldiers wear helmets. This is the year 40k ffs. They had 38000 years to learn.
Chair On's poor boyfriend
that's why you don't wear a helmet during cutscenes.
OH MY GOD. HE'S THE DREADNOUGHT.
He's the Redemptor who saves us
@@kassiD1HK no, not really. The drednoughts name is Valtus and he was just awakened for this after 500 years I think. He is very dead.
That's neat and all, but I'm just confused because we're talking about Space Marines here, not only does he have ludicrously fast reflexes but also remember that the game opens with someone wearing an older model of armor and it kept him unscathed when he fell from orbit while here an upgraded version was completely punched through by an IED.
Feels like a pretty easy to spot mistake in the directing/writing that could be easily fixed by having him kill the cultists with everyone else, only to be then grievously injured by the KSons that appear right after
He didn’t fall from orbit, just a few thousand feet onto some branches and mud
Well, it busted his comms in the helmet, which are internal so that's a LOT of damage to the head, and that chunk of rebar went straight into the eye, very likely the weakest point in any helmet. Let alone that A. He probably didn't even know it was a bomb until it went off, and/or B. There's side dialogue suggesting he jumped between the squad and the explosion, intentionally taking it to save them.
you all have to buy new eyes: Varellus was a VETERAN SERGEANT, in the altar appears a normal Sergeant, that's not Varellus.
Funny that the cutscene literally says that its Varellus then isn't it
Don't need eyes to hear a guy's name genius.
Almost as if the game will be usually a sucess if you put love and dedication to details into a game and not s hit on the fan base or lore
Bugs me they forgot the veteran stripe tho
First thing I said when I saw that in-game
Would he qualify for the stripe being as he was fatally wounded as a Deathguard and then resurrected as a Primaris? UM to DG to Primaris UM, demoted too. Wouldn't he now be ranked as a noob Primaris, albeit a lieutenant? I'm not up to speed on the nuances of Primaris stature as yet, so I'm spitballing.
Thing is, his service studs give his status away immediately either way.
The actual thing that frustrated me in SM2 was that even though Calgar and many other high ranking Ultramarines signed off on Titus being reinstated as a Primaris at lieutenant, then why was the 2nd Company Captain, and Sargent Gadriel giving Titus a load of ball ache. That's bad form. You'd expect Calgar's word to be solid enough that not one marine below Chapter Master would question it. But... we could probably expect someone such as Leandros to sew a little discontent there I suppose, and with him now being a Chaplain for the 2nd Company, it'd be interesting to see how Titus and Leandros get along as part of Calgar's personal retinue.
The lack of helmets in this game is something i just can not get past.
You can change that in the settings
@@HowlFromBeyond not for cutscenes 😢
Skittering masses that want to digest you, things with claws and teeth, acid, flying things, viral bombs... seems like a FANTASTIC place to take off my helmet.
Helmetless space marines being a sign of a nigh unkillable main character has been a Warhammer trope for actual decades.
It's tradition at this point, and if you wanted a setting that always makes sense you came to the wrong one lol.
@nobleman-swerve may not have a helmet but the plot armor is stronger anyways
My only complaint with the game is that that tiny bomb will kill an armored space marine.
Rebar through the eye will though
Spacemarines oftenly survive headshots @@CaptainSkylocke
@@KelebMoonDancer but are regularly also killed by them
Is it in the hub area? If so where cuz I only know where the armory and ship is I haven’t found anything else
It’s his own fault for having a helmet on. Like they gave the guy a name he did it to himself
I was heartbroken when bro died, the goat pulled up in a tank and said hop on brothers! We’re going crusading!
Of course the rebar kills the guy with the actual helmet on.
Can happen. 👍
@@mrmhj9925 Yeah. Just funny because the other two are helmetless.
He took the blast to save everyone else
BIONICLE IN WARHAMMER COMFIRMED????
WTF are you talking about? Bionicle probably ripped off 40k
Bionicle is just plastic Necrons😂
What if he is the dreadnought we meet?
Different marine, sadly he is very dead.
Да, мне так грустно стало когда еретики его убили, бедный брат
You're surprised they remembered to honor a named character that died in a cutscene? Is this your first time playing a game with a story?
Shouldn't the helmet in his room have a stripe like his? or is the armor in the room more just ceremonial
Nah, they didn't. The fact what space marine alarmed enemy to his cover being blown and then veteran being slower to asses the situation, lift his weapon and shoot heretic than him realizing he is uncovered, reaching for terminal and activating explosion is fucking horendous. Maybe not every guardsmen but every Cadian recruit would've done better in their place.
I mean, is this really special? Stuff like this should be expected from a game
Why should it? If you expect things like this from every game no wonder people like you are always miserable and disappointed about every game release.
@@CaptainSkylocke I'm not miserable every game release, but you can't deny the quality of AAA games the last 5 years has been trash.
I'd argue your standard is just very low. Any decently written story weaves back in references to previous events, to accentuate the impact on the World
Space Marine 2 is a damn good game. Room for improvement, but an easy 7.5 - 8 / 10
Man, russian devs are crazy for this.
Is this the state of gaming? It didn't feel like a small detail. It's just normal/good world building. Things that happen around you have consequences. It's not that impressive
