In this scene, which I snapped while playing through the opening of the game earlier this week, Duke calls out anyone who wears “green armor”, saying such a person is a part of the female anatomy.
Looking for a bit more about the game that no one thought would actually come out? Check out some of our earlier stories.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 3:38 PMYeah, making a sequel that’s been highly anticipated for a decade and while trying to make it live up to millions of impatient fans’ expectations can’t be hard at ALL.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 3:50 PMBefore putting Gearbox down… it was 3D Realms’ decision to implement the 2 weapon system and not Gearbox’s, if you are getting it for PC just wait for a weapon hoard mod to be released.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 4:39 PMBizarre…having a go at Halo when Duke can only carry two guns himself. This is pathetic; following in the footsteps of army games.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 6:34 PMThis is sort of a dealbreaker. When I play a game like Duke Nukem/Serious Sam/Unreal Tournament, I don’t want to be shackled by realism.
Screw 2 guns, I want a bottomless fantasy bag.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 3:11 PMMaster Chief aint got no balls of steel!
Destroy Duke, pffft – Chuck Norris runs and cower before him!

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 3:56 PMThey say Chuck Norris checks under his bed every night to see if Duke Nukem isnt under there.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 3:55 PMPfft… consoletard, Mastercheif is just some pansy in hightech armour and ha the personality of a piece of cheese.
You dont see Duke Nukem hiding behind some hightech armor do you, put Master Cheif in Duke Nukems world without his armour and he wouldnt last 5 seconds.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 5:57 PMActually, if I’m getting my Halo backstory right here, Master Chief fought in heaps of battles before he got his armour. All the Spartans are pretty badass on their own.
Travis New
Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 8:10 PMAhhhh Master Chief fought in wars prior to donning his armour. Aside from that he has been trained since a child to be a killing machine. Also on top of that he has genetic manipulations to make him faster, stronger, smarter and in general more resilient then any regular human would ever be. I like the Duke…but he would die…

That’s right. An eel.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 3:51 PMIt’s actually a nod to how much the Halo armor is just a ripoff of Doom’s armor design, helmet in particular.
Duke had a good rivalry with id Software shooters, with a dead Doomguy showing up in Duke 3D and the eponymous lead role commenting “That’s one doomed space marine.”
stost
Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 5:55 PMAnd your source is…?
How exactly is Chief’s armour a ripoff? They look barely alike, besides both clearly being suits of armour. It’s like saying that CoD is a ripoff of Doom because they both have guns in them. Do some actual research before presenting wild guesses as fact, hmm?

And here’s Master Chief.

Notice the very similar helmet shape, moulded armour with hard lines, and all-round green colour.
Run back to your cave, fanboi.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 11:49 PMSource? What, you want me to hunt down George Broussard and John Carmack to get quotes from them to post, supporting an argument on a video game news site? Okay, I’ll get right on that, soon as I cash this 20 mil cheque I’ve been putting off. I so hate going to the bank.
Use your eyeballs, mate:

You don’t want to admit it’s ridiculously similar and in the same genre while Doom’s impact is still felt? That’s your business. Fact is, they could’ve given the guy trees for arms and dragonheads for shoulderpads, but they went with a strikingly similar design.

Monday, February 14, 2011 at 8:14 AMHow far down the list did we get before someone brought up that the original did this with Doom. There were several guys who’d been nailed by the aliens, and Duke makes a comment. There’s still plenty of time left to play through the entire first game before rushing to post comments on continuity.

Sunday, February 13, 2011 at 4:25 PMI guess this is the 2011 version of “that’s one doomed space marine”. Green armor, anyone?

Monday, February 14, 2011 at 1:28 AMI love me some Halo, but you’re so right. I can’t believe people are actually carrying on like this, it’s gold!

Monday, February 14, 2011 at 12:38 PM+1 I enjoy halo, but I’ve still got a sense of humour!

don’t waste your time trying to prove or discuss anything with low cpu/gpu/ram spec’d console users they’re a lost cause.

Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 1:38 PM12 years ago, Duke asked Chuck Norris to keep his throne warm while he went on vacation…. well he’s back… “Hail to the king, Baby”
