This.

It's first week of October, wasn't it promised for this period?

No news as of this morning when I last checked. They had it listed as 30 day DLC on the incorrect Gamestop preorder form (which also had it as a preorder exclusive from them, also since changed). They've been completely mum about any actual firm release date.

Bullocks.

And here I was hoping I'd get to spend my Uterine Freedom Day playing some Space Marine Co-op.

No. Played on normal difficulty, spent time exploring all corners collecting all the servo skulls I could find and beat it in 4 hours... maybe you just need to learn how to play 3rd person games . The game is short and simple. I'm not an achievement whore so I have no reason to go back and find all the servo skulls I missed or do missions with specific weapons to get the achievements, I play games for the story.



The 5th hour is because I left the game running while I ran and got dinner :p

The only actual "difficulty" i had in this game was getting killed by enemy fire/rockets while I'm mid way performing an execution on an enemy. That pissed me off a few times.

I very much dislike the fad games are going where achievements become the replay, id rather have a bioware style game where I am able to make decisions and that is based on how the game will end.

Looks like PC users got a 60mb "patch" today which sounds pretty big for just a few connection issues. Anything demonstrably different with the patch for all you PC users? There are reports of less lag and a nerfed plasma cannon but neither were really confirmed on the official forums. I'll be home in a bit and be able to confirm whether or not the xbox got a similar treatment or not (doubtful though as xbox "patches" are generally quite small and take only a few seconds to download... the big changes are usually bundled with DLC)

The Exterminus gamemode comes out Tuesday, 25th October....not exactly a "30 day DLC"...Looks like they're working on other DLC also

I don't really buy that you did all that...

You are aware the Steam Clock is wrong often .
I spent about 8 hours playing Portal 2, it told me I had done it in 4.

So no, don't start giving yourself a pat on the back quite yet

I've never seen the Steam clock underestimate. It does however say I played 70 hours of Magika because the game didn't close out properly and ran in the background of my PC for 2 days

The Exterminatus DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine will be released on Tuesday, 25th October, Eurogamer can exclusively reveal.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...c-release-date

The exterminatus bit has me sorta bummed out now, and my expectations for how good it will be have rose. Hope this ends well.

Itll end well, the rest of the game is really good, why would they drop the ball on a part that they intentionally left out just to make better? Im pretty stoked

I like how said article mentions more potential DLC in future I wonder what that could be...

Extra maps, reskins, etc probably.

Thousand Sons skin, please. I doubt they'll do it, but I can always hope...

I'm sure they will, they'll just charge for it.

If they released a Grey Knight skin I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Hmmm not the best idea releasing it on the BF3 release date.I know what I'll be doing on the 25th and it doesn't involve Space Marines.What a shame.I've been hanging out for DLC for the last few days too haha

Personally, I know what I'll be doing-- and it won't likely involve me playing generic modern shooters

Me too

MW is generic Garbage.BF does what it says..revolutionizes online warfare.Obviously its not everyones cup of tea but personally im very into it.I will definetley be getting Exterminatus though, for the times when even BF3 become too generic and repetitive...eg after about 6hrs of rush.Very good change of pace switching between the two games, as i do with Space Marine and BFBC2....Not to mention mixing it up a little with some Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood Of Steel (working on replaying the whole fallout series)

Modern Warfare is NOT generic garbage; You have to remember, MW was what started this current trend of "Insta cool 1337 PWNZORS Shooter", and as such, it technically get's a by because it's not generic as other games are being made to conform to it's standards. However, it really doesn't show any interest in changing.

In Summery: Bozo the Clown may have the most "generic" act, but that's because all the other Clown bastards stole his stuff, drank his milk, and drove off in his tiny car.

And I hate Call of Duty.

OZ-Guardsman wrote:MW is generic Garbage.BF

Is also a generic modern warfare shooter.

You could argue it's better done than CoD, but I'm not even entirely convinced that the series can manage to argue that it really is wholely better-- certainly, for example, black ops for its various flaws had a better leveling system than BFBC2.

But this isn't a topic about battlefield or other generic modern warfare shooters It's a topic about bald screaming old guys encased in huge suits of armor with rocket launchers as primary weapons.

I must haved missed the rocket launchers then lol. If anything rockets were always fired towards me, never away from me.

Yes that's right sorry for causing a little off topic stir.Back to the original point, as excited as I am for exterminatus mode I am nervous for Relic because they are releasing it on the same day as BF3 and I do feel that it may detract a lot from it's success.While I am aware that a lot of dedicated players won't even notice the release of BF3 it just seems like the date was either chosen so Space Marine could compete with BF3 release or it's just a coincidence and no one noticed, either way I think it would be better releasing it any other day but that one as I know BF3 will be playing on a massive number of systems worldwide that day and exterminatus may largely fall off the radar for a lot of people.I will be getting it and am still very excited and I wish it success let's just hope it's release isn't overshadowed too much by what, whether you like it or not, will be one of the biggest game releases of the last few years.

You didn't see any Bolters?

P.S I'm not trying to start a "this is better than that because..." argument this is just my opinion about the particular release date of Exterminatus.I'm a huge 40k fan as my presence here might suggest.

Oh yea I forgot they were mini-rocket launchers. My bad

I imagine I'll be playing SM on the 25th as well, or doing something else, that day is sticking in my head for some reason, like there is something important non video game related but I can't remember what it is ...crap Welp looks like I may just end up slaughtering orks instead

Perhaps you're celebrating the birthdays of Krista and Tatiana Hogan, Canada's craniopagus conjoined twins... or Romania's Armed Forces Day?
