Any one else disappointed that this game is only 2 players? I wonder if there will be 2v2 co-op rules perhaps?

Slightly disappointed but maybe surprised is more apt.  I will be watching the news on this one closely.  I have always been drawn to things Warhammer 40k, but was never able to invest in it.  This could be my chance...

I'm not disappointed at all that it's a two player game. I have plenty of epic sized wargames that pretty much require more than 2, so this will fit a nice niche that TI3 and StarCraft don't cover. (Yeah, I know StarCraft can be played by 2, but it works much better with more.)

I'm becoming a big fan of WH and WH40k, and this looks great.

even if there isnt a rule set for coop....ill play it that way :)

I can see some rules coming out like the overlord stuff for M44.

I'm cool with the 2-player game. Kinda prefer it actually.

In the original you had to place cards which dictated your choice of actions for the turn.  Both sides placed these cards in advance, and then turned them over one at a time to execute the chosen decisions.  It appears they're keeping that mechanism in some form.  This kind of thing always seems more fun to me when it's 2-player.

very dissapointed, but I'm sure you could tweak some rules allowing more players to participate

I am very pleased that this game is only two players.  My girlfriend and I are getting heavily into the Warhammer universe, not the GW mini's, but the stuff that FFG has put out has all been top notch.  I was hoping they would release a board game in the 40k universe, and I am so happy that it plays two players and is one of the big box games.  I can not wait to see how this title turns out.

The game looks cool, but I'm also disappointed that it's only 2 players.  Having already bought Space Hulk, I would prefer not to get another 2 person game.  Maybe I'm lucky in that we usually get between 5-7 people at my gaming group, but 2 player games, and even to some extent 4 player games, end up excluding people and as a result, get played less.

I have just the opposite situation.  I'm lucky to get two players, much less three or four. So I'm glad this is 2-player.  But I can see the value of some options for more players.

 I'm not... There was only two sides in the Heresy anyways.

Can't see my self spending $100. on a two player game................... just doesn't feel right.  So i'll just get Rune Wars instead.  Plenty of room for expanions in that one.

2 players sure, horus and emperor, but what of the other primarchs that were present, like say sanguinius or the khan? i guess theyre gona be soldiers in the emperors army rather then slots for extra players :S But not disappointed at all

2 players is absolutly OK.

I'm glad it can play 2 players! Usually thats all I get to my game table. There are some great games that have a minimum of 3, that I just wouldn't really be able to play very often.
