	Welcome, new [[Fire_Warrior\|Fire Warrior]]. Here is a shitty weaboo [[Choppy\|dagger]] you will never use, here's a lame 'pulse' weapon that hits like a [[Lasgun\|cap gun]] and can't be replaced, and here's your first sortie. You'll loot [[Bolter\|weapons]] [[Plasma\|that]] [[Melta\|don't]] [[Missile Launcher\|suck]] from the enemy, until you [[Rail Rifle\|trade up]]. You'll face marvelous varieties of the [[Imperium of Man\|gue'la]] [[Chaos\|menace]]. Worry not, they're pretty easy to outsmart. You'll also have to wreck a bunch of machines and daemons. Worry not, they're all in convenient arenas with cover and supplies. No, you won't get to ride a [[Battlesuit]] or [[Hammerhead Gunship]], because you are, after all, still a rookie, despite somehow racking up a body count to shame [[Farsight]]. And afterward, if you succeed, [[Sly Marbo\| you will not be quite the same]]. [[grimdark\|Have a shitty day,]] and FUCK YOU.		Welcome, new [[Fire_Warrior\|Fire Warrior]].

	THQ released a video game tie-in called '''Fire Warrior''' soon after the initial release of the [[Tau]] Codex. Taking the role of Kais, a [[Fire_Warrior\|Shas'La]] about to undertake his first trial-by-fire (ha!) in an attempt to rescue an Ethereal, it was a thoroughly unremarkable introductory FPS, similar to many that followed any successful or hopefully-successful movie of the 00's. It is not a ''terrible'' game. Neither is it a good game. It's just... there. If it's any consolation, it's from pre-Fourth Edition, and they were still ironing out some of the Tau's wrinkles at the time.

Neither is it a good game.

If it's any consolation, it's from pre-Fourth Edition, and they were still ironing out some of the Tau's wrinkles at the time.

	Highlights include [[Bolter\|bolters]] working pretty close to the fluff: semi-automatic mini-rocket launchers (actually, they're pretty close to a goddamn Soundstrike Missile Launcher now that we think about it), some badass dialogue, [[Doctor_Who\|Tom Baker and Sean Pertwee (son of John Pertwee, the Third Doctor]], [[Ultramarines:The_Movie\|who is becoming]] [[Warhammer_40,000:_Space_Marine\|a recurring guest]] [[The_Actors_of_Warhammer_40,000\|star in 40k)]], and [[Awesome\|BRIAN BLESSED]], great art-direction, and somewhat interesting level design.

	Not-so-good highlights include shitty hit detection, pulse rifles that somehow trade equivalent to ''lasguns'', shooting down a [[Valkyrie#Valkyrie\|Valkyrie]] with small arms fire (shoulda sprung for the extra armor upgrade!), and killing a [[RAGE\|LORD OF CHANGE ON YOUR OWN]]. Managing to sword a Space Marine is hilarious though. The fact that you're essentially a one-man unstoppable killing machine is rather silly, for better AND worse, especially considering you're just a Shas'La on his first day of duty (If you were around a Shas'Vre or Shas'O in a functioning battlesuit, it would have been slightly more realistic to be the Tau version of Rambo). But, [[Sly Marbo\|Rambo]] you are, and if you ''want'' to do that and don't mind that you're ripping more holes in canon than an actual cannon, again, it's not ''terrible''. Just... run-of-the-mill. The game was notable at the time for being one of the first console games with online capability, and in this capacity, it saw a lot of chaotic fun, since your character in Multiplayer could be a Tau, Guardsman, Cultist, Space Marine, or Chaos Marine, all with their own unique taunts and animations. It's very much a product of its time; enjoyable, but stupid, and [[/tg/]] had a fun time with it.

	The novelization of the game suggests he was being helped by [[Khorne]] (which makes even less sense that you're eventually trying to stop a [[Lord of Change]] that for some reason has Khorne's ~~favor~~). ~~If anything~~ Kais could be being influenced by [[Malal\|a certain pseudo-existent self-loathing asshole]] that loves to fuck with his fellow Chaos gods because reasons.

	tl;dr: Fun if you can get past the raft of issues, but unbelievably stupid. Bizarrely atmospheric, in that it captures the feel of being the Fucking New Guy dumped in the trenches, even if you rack up way, way more kills than an FNG should be able to. Saved by the fact that you can shoot some [[Ultramarine\|Ultrasmurfs]] if you are so inclined. Now on GOG.		tl;dr: Fun if you can get past the raft of issues (which modern gamers will find nearly impossible to do), but unbelievably stupid.

	tl;dr: Fun if you can get past the raft of issues, but unbelievably stupid. Bizarrely atmospheric, in that it captures the feel of being the Fucking New Guy dumped in the trenches, even if you rack up way, way more kills than an FNG should be able to. Saved by the fact that you can shoot some [[Ultramarine\|Ultrasmurfs]] if you are so inclined. Now on GOG.		tl;dr: Fun if you can get past the raft of issues (which modern gamers will find nearly impossible to do), but unbelievably stupid.
