Space Marine features a fluid combat system that allows players to seamlessly switch from ranged to melee weapons without interrupting the flow of combat.

Hitting the melee button at any time will result in a close range strike with the equipped hand-to-hand weapon as well as the camera pulling out to melee distance. Pulling either trigger will instantly snap the view back to behind the player’s shoulder ready for precise shooting. These systems are immediately responsive and leave the player in full control at all times.

As the player dispatches enemies in Space Marine they will be earning FURY which can be used to unleash devastating ranged or melee attacks.  The player can use FURY MARKSMAN to enter a heightened form of awareness where time seems to slow down allowing them to pick off multiple ranged enemies in the blink of an eye.  Alternately the player can opt to utilize their FURY STRIKE up close and personal with a sweeping area of affect attack that will obliterate anything close enough and knock-back and stun more distant foes.
