Relic wasn't yet ready to talk about the game's co-op and versus modes ("All the love that we're putting into single-player is going to get extended over into multiplayer"), or a puzzling menu choice called "The Customizer," but promises that we'll be seeing a lot more as the game moves forward in development.
This is quite possibly the most important sentence that the author of that piece has ever written.

Ah, it's back up! (this being the article that was suddenly taken down).

Looks like the content wasn't the reason it disappeared after all :P

but yes, this "Customizer" interests me greatly :D

[GrimDark]

Now, all together: "Enchanced Army Painter"

[DannyLee94]

I understand now why you found it so interesting Kharrak. At a guess, i think this customiser would be like space marine's army painter. Being that you can only use your customised colours on multiplayer or in 'Your squad vs AI' Skirmishes.

Danny, I'm hoping that you can use the Customizer to change Captain Titus' appearance in the singleplayer campaign. After all, the E3 trailer shows him with a helmet in a couple of clips, while we can see that in other versions of the same scene (escaping the crashing Valkyrie) he's helmetless.

[DannyLee94]

I would rather have seen customiser change the colours of Titas, although i think doing that may affect the story. As regards to changing Titas' appearance (armour, helmet etc.) I would have thought that was a given; but im just throwing things out here.
Either way, it does sound interesting and im sure that they'll do a great job with it as they have done with previous Warhammer 40K games.

Hmmm... how would the RPG Elements affect it? Probably like the Campaign in DOW2
