What does the Dawn of War II cutting room floor actually HAVE on it?  Velociraptors with machine guns for teeth?  A magic spell that causes scorpions to burst out of the victim’s chest cavity, then explode, spewing acid for further damage?  An entire horde of kamikaze penguins with packs of C4 strapped to their chests?!

General rule of futuristic combat zone:  If a dude is cloaking in and out of the way of your bullets on his way towards you, the odds are so heavily in his favor, you might as well put your machine pistol in your mouth.  When have you EVER seen somebody catch onto the cloaking pattern, put two and two together, and blow away the stealth/sword guy who appears halfway through the trailer?

Never.  Because nobody does math in the heat of battle, because math is stupid.

But fist bump for the point blank range flamethrower kill.  Fist bump retracted for protagonist dude’s voice acting.  He sounds too much like the mayor of a New England Puritan village, circa 1690.
