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

[Leifr Eiríksson]

Most Assault Marines that I play with seem to have the "I JUMP'D AND I SWING'D" mentality. They soon find out that, during later waves, they cannot do this.

 

[Grunar]

All i ever get stuck with is AM's it's, 1 Dev, 3 AM's is ****ing dull ;/

 

[Tuckles]

Isn't it?

You are playing with bad assaults then.

Doesn't really matter. I still kill it faster than an Assault Marine.

The lascannon was made as a sniper. It's for taking out big things like the angry slugga nob.

 

[Sartek]

To me lascannon seems pointless in Exterminatus. Too many weak orkz. Do you have that perk that allows you to take two main weapons?


Has anyone here made it to the 21st wave?

 

[MaHuD]

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...

Get a devestator buddy for the small fries.
I find the lascannon extremely handy at taking out all the nobz, and other special guys. Just shoot them in the head and your team doesnt need to bother with them.
+ take iron halo and Stimulants, and you can tank the capture point and thereby helping your team even further.

Sadly, I don't have the IH yet. :c

Some exterminatus gameplay with World Tellers.

Exterminatus is cracking good fun. Played it a couple of times now, and I have to say it feels to epic to set up my Heavy Bolter and then spray from right-to-left-to-right. When you have the coolant & double-capacity backpack it's awesome, just laying firing down into chokepoints. Plus if friendlies get swamped a well aimed burst will drop their attackers in moments. It's good fun all in all.

 

[Kazzan]

Too bad I probably have a lot of lag when I play with others... 

It was fun, did a random team and we almost completed the whole thing, but due to some random bug I switched host to a completely different server, with completely different people, and when it resumed I was the last one alive...

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

New DLC.

Clicky

Price is a tad steep but it sounds ****ing epic.

 

[Austupaio]

You'd think clicking the American flag would show $ instead of pounds. 8 dollars, eh, I could go for that for the content, I suppose, later.

If it's a more accurate currency translation though, and it's 10+ $, they can go suck a donkey. 10+ for a few maps and CTF? What is this, COD?

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

What? $8? It costs us £7.99... 

 

[Austupaio]

That's assuming they pull a Steam and just change the symbol, which I'm hoping they do because anything more $8 is just silly.

 

[MaHuD]

Wait?
I just bought this game.. I ain't paying for stupid "DLC".

 

[Austupaio]

Were not going into bash DLC simply because it's DLC, are we?

The fact that this one is a step above CoD-style '5 maps - 15 bucks' is somewhat codemnable but it does have some content. Just not enough to warrant what-ever price they charge in USD that's over 8.

I'm still hoping it's a Steam-conversion.

 

[Sartek]

Space marine is losing players fast because while it is a fun game, it just has problems. And new content was desperately needed. And now, they ask money for **** that should have been in the initial release, or should be at least a free dlc. Damn it, THQ, why do you always have to ask insane amounts of money for **** that should be completely free. This dlc won`t save Space marine because not many will buy it. I think I might buy it, but it`s just because chaos is my absolute favourite. But it makes me feel bad, buying it. It`s like I`m happily accepting this new trend in gaming.

 

[Austupaio]

I understand the sentiment but 'voting with money' doesn't mean anything with companies this size. These days there are far too many people buying the **** no matter what it is for anyone to do that and realistically expect a change.

 

[Sartek]

I know. Voting with money never works. But still the feeling is there. I always laugh at stupid map packs, but when they hit the game I really like, I cry.

Spoiler

I am aware of the fact that this isnt a simple map pack

 

[Tuckles]

(It's maps and two new modes, TF2 does this for free)


Really, I wish they'd release new weapons and class types.

Apothecaries, Librarians, Terminators and Scouts

Multi-meltas, flamers, missile launchers, power fists and lightning claws could use some love. Not to mention storm shields and the range of stuff you can put out for Terminators (assault cannons, heavy flamers and cyclone missile launchers come to mind).

I'd kill to have an apothecary wielding a pair of lightning claws and a Narthecium.

9/10ths of the time- absolutely.
BUT!
McDonalds.
That is all.
