Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine - It's official

[Sartek]

This deserves a double post.

Steam is downloading a 650mb patch for Space Marine. Is this Exterminatus? Is it? It has to be.

 

[Tuckles]

Exterminatus is officially up! :3

 

[BattleOfValmy]

Gotta play this again sometime, then.

 

[Grunar]

So Brothers! who wishes to slay some Xenos?

 

[Fierce Headmaster]

I'll be slaying Xenos in half an hour, quite a big download.

 

[Kazzan]

I'd be up for xeno hunting.

 

[Tuckles]

Just came from a game (didn't finish).

Gripe: You can't change class until the mission is done. HUUUUUGE problem for me. I misclicked and rolled Devastator. Wanted to be a Tac Marine (like a bauss).

On a more positive note: Have you guys seen a melee Devastator? I was using my lascannon as a shotgun, and kicking the **** out of everything. I ended up being second place (beating a non-melee devastator that was twice my level) in the rankings when the first "round" (about 5 levels?) finished.

Overall, fun mode. Time consuming though.

Made of ****ing epic win. This is how Space Marine should have been...

Hab Center #1 (desert arena), three tacs and one devastator standing back to back shooting endless hordes.

I am pleased to say that the more 'traditional' SM weaponary such as bolters, heavy and plasma guns come much more into use than the ****ola Lascannon etc.

 

[Tuckles]

Hence why I was pissed when I misclicked into Devastator.

My hellfire bolter would have cut down those orkz like butter.

 

[Kazzan]

So, anyone up for a game?

 

[Sartek]

I am.  Been waiting for this for a while. Gotta try out my new World Teller marine.

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

For the Emperor!

Had an absolute blast in it last night. I think we all agreed that Exterminatus has really breathed some new life into Space Marine again.

 

[Sartek]

Same here. Played with Shalictar and Headmaster. Will have it uploaded in a bit. It was just great playing as World Tellers. And Exterminatus is what Space Marine should have been from the start. Space Marines against endless hordes of enemies.

 

[MaHuD]

Me and Kazzan are playing Exterminatus right now, but with just 2 it seems that we are unable to complete the mission.
We need more brothers to help us out!

 

[Grunar]

Ammo drops are too rare, makes playing a ranged class painful when every assault marine picks them up.

 

[Sartek]

MaHuD, join the steam group. Easier to see who`s online and who plays Space Marine.

And yes, it is very very hard with three players as well. I think it`s impossible with two. You won`t be able to cap points.

 

[Tuckles]

Anyone else find the lascannon useful in Exterminatus?

It takes me 3~4 shots to drop those really large orks, something the (3 mother****ing) assault marines couldn't handle very well.

Problem is the lack of ammo and the single-shot for the Ork WAAAAAGHS. Hand me a bolter any day...

 

[Tuckles]

Ammo ceases to be a problem in the later levels anyway, it's like every other angry slugga boy drops one.


Also, with the amount of orkz in the field, I can usually get double kills with shots, got a triple kill once, but that was most likely a fluke.

You are playing with bad assaults then.
