***Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine***

Well I'm enjoying the SP, big fan of the lore having collected the Space Marine minatures in my youth.

would have prefered a bit more fluff, does feel a bit shallow knowing how good the backstory can be. Graphics could do with some improvements as well but I'm sure someone will do some texture mods in the future.

Otherwise though the combat is solid and most importantly it is good fun.
 
Multiplayer keep freezing for 2 seconds every minute or so, very very annoying. On top of that it seems to lag a lot, I jump onto somebody but then they suddenly appear 10 meters away and proceed to shoot me to death.
 
Totally loving this at the moment. First game that shows Space Marines as Space Marines and not some pussy armoured dude. I'm also glad they are using a proper chapter and dumped the guys from DoW, lore seems pretty accurate too so far (just met the Inquisitor)

^ im at the same part as you, i hope they do either DLC or like expansions for seperate chapters as id love to play a single player game with Blood Angels :D

would have been better with Space Wolves, an Ultra Marine without his helmet, yeah right...

I have to agree here, they're so sucked into their Codex Astartes that they'd probably always have it on.

I'm tired of seeing Ultra Marines and Blood Ravens the entire time.

I myself would prefer some Space Wolves.
 
Given the choice I'd have liked Imperial Fists, Salamanders or Sons of Medusa :P Should have let us pick our own chapter prior to starting or something. Still, Blood Angels or Space Wolves would have fit the volume of mele better... or Black Templars/Raven Claws

Deathwatch marines would have been the best (the chapter attached to the anti-alien branch of the inquisitors) - would give the best background for some really varied missions.
 
Just finished the single player.. the engine is awesome and the game was highly enjoyable.

Time to level to 41 in MP :D
 
Shame the multiplayer is p2p hosted instead of dedicated servers, that's put a bit of a bitter taste on the competitive idea.

Amusingly I read a rant somewhere from someone who wasn't happy as the Captain of the second (or is it third?) company isn't called Titus within the time period. :p

Debating this game, but I do have Deus Ex at the mo.
 
You can understand why it's the Ultramarines. People who aren't familiar with the wh40k universe won't know the traits of each chapter.
I love the Flesh Tearers because they are completely ******* crazy. But it would be difficult to explain to someone why, after a minute of playing, they have suddenly slaughtered, along with the bad guys,all the friendlies in the area!:D

We have to remember that GamesWorkshop approves all Warhammer content before it's made usually. They're very tight when it comes to their IP, so must have allowed this.


At anyrate, I'm loving the multi-player. Pity my spacewolf can't be covered in furs and plenty of long hair haha.

I'm only lvl 6 I think, although I love seeing Emporer's Children running around in brink pink around.

Nothin better then getting an 8 killstreak in bright pink and hearing the lamentation of geeks over the headsets hahahaha.

as a fan of 40k I am really enjoying this game, nothing like barreling into a mob of orks swinging a thunderhammer on a sunday :) got some nice touches too like when you find a purity seal they appear on your Armour and all the little messages over the coms.
 
Don't know how useful this is but I wanted to check out demo and couldn't find it on steam or net.

So I found this little trick, open internet explorer(it does not work in chrome) and paste this

steam://install/55410

You will start downloading the demo.
 
Is it just me or is the Thunderhammer really not that great? Very slow to swing and restricts you ability to get yourself out of trouble with the melta or snipe with the las cannon. I much prefer the power axe.

MP is good fun. I'm playing on a gamepad though and am considering switching to mouse. Far to many las cannon twitch snipers out there.
