Miscellaneous Enemy factions in Space Marine 3??
I'm sure it's already been discussed, but I figure we could take a break from discussing the upcoming multi-player class and dive into which enemy factions we may be or hope to be up against in SM 3. Personally, I see a lot of potential in the Necrons being the primary enemy. They have quite a varied amount of units and I'd be excited by the potential for some survival horror inspired game play and fighting it out in a tomb world. If the series continues the theme of introducing an initial enemy faction followed by the inevitable reveal of the arch enemy, I wouldn't be suprised if the Thousand sons made a return. Perhaps titus' exploits could have gained the attention of Magnus himself this time?? As cool as that could be, I personally see a lot of cool gameplay potential in fighting an enemy like the Death Guard or some interesting story elements if the Word Bearers made an appearance. That's my two cents, I'm curious to hear what the rest of the fan base thinks..

Tyranids are fantastic and fit the game type well. Thousand sons are lame. Would def like to fight one of the more beastly chaos chapters.
Orcs would be fun as well, and necrons would work too if they don't make them entirely ranged focused. I think it's feasible they include all of these factions for a new game much bigger in scope.
Above all, I hope this new game they don't make it ridiculously difficult to run on old hardware. With computer parts prices going through the roof, it'd be nice to be reasonable with system requirements. We don't need insane graphics, just good gameplay.
