Really does make the game better having actual team work going on

Teamwork? In my Space Marine game?

I don't think so, no sir!

Closest to teamwork I've seen so far on Xbox Live was half of my team huddled behind a rock on the bridge level waiting for -any- of the other team to dare try take the middle point. Then we pounced.

Couple buddies and I will group up via steam and just go around in packs. Alot of funny when were all Assault

You know, with all the lascannon spam out there, I am surprised more people ain't crying foul.

Welp finally got Air Cooled Thrusters, time to get rid of FV me thinks, it was useful but I think ACT will be better and net me a higher kill ratio in the end. Though the 50pts for the FV kill alone is nice.

I am liking the stalker pattern. Especially when I use it to shoot those stupid lascannon guys.

I get killed by stalkers more than lascannons, I find them VERY annoying as an assault. I get wicked annoyed when the have the stalker AND the melta using weapon versatility.

So.. grenade spam tac marine, wow.

Finally got Favor of the Armory and coupled that with Master Crafted while working on my kraken bolt unlocks. In the close in maps, it's ridiculous.

I do think I'll be ditching FV with my Chain Sword and Power Axe assault guy in favor of ACT, but with the hammer going to keep it for a bit, just not as useful.

Go go nade spam!

I honestly find Favor to be overkill with master-crafted. A bit much for me

It's AoE is just too damn big, especially since the P2P system almost invariably creates laggy games.

Maybe you're just not a very good player? I rarely get killed by FV myself. Maybe twice a game or so, and usually it's my fault - I killed a guy who had it and was still executing the hammer swing animations.

While I don't claim to be the best player ever, I frequently top the scoreboards and make MVP, so I would assert that I'm not a bad player. I almost never get killed by FV (as I noted above), but I DO get damaged FAR too much by it despite jumping or rolling away.

FV is annoying to no end, especially when the assault marine you just killed has a tac/dev buddy to shoot you once you're shields are gone.

In my opinion. Would have been nice to have an option to toggle on/off a helmet for titus. would have been nice to actually have a helmet in the single player campaign...

I'm pretty happy with the multiplayer so far (haven't played much), but the one thing I didn't like about the customizer was the "new look" for the Errant Armor :/

Oh, and no Night Lords??? WTF

EDIT: grammar

There ARE Night Lords, you just need to make it yourself. The symbol is one of those available.

Yeah that's the weird thing for Chaos. Some of the famous bands are missing (Thousand Sons also don't have a premade).

I'm aware of the emblem, but they don't have any lightning bolts or skull "decals" you can add to their armor...unless I totally missed something. Is there any way to change the emblem on the right shoulder pauldron by chance?

No. The right is your Tactical/Dev/Assault marking.

Yeah, I know...I would've sworn I saw them alter it in a video prior to release

Maybe they planned to at first and just never included it. I'm kind of surprised there's no crux terminatus shoulders myself.

And? My Thousand Sons don't get to add Egyptian-esque helmet crests or fancy loin cloths, either.

We just use what tools we have available.

WOOT! My xbox shipping info is listing it as out for delivery today so it should be there when I get home from work! I'll actually be able to play what's in my bright green rectangular space marine coaster! Any recommendations on whether I should start on SP or MP? I'm tempted towards the latter before the community just implodes with all of the AAA releases coming out in the next 2 months. I'd like to unlock my armor variants while theres still players to do it versus.

Sckitzo wrote:Never played Halo really so not familiar with it, judging from the name may be fun with termies though, assuming it's 1 or 2 juggernauts vs the other team, you kill the 'naught and you become him type deal?

Pretty much, theres just one though, but in halo (depending on specific settings) he gets max movement speed, max overshield, invisible, and if you made the mode really awesome, you give him unlimited ammo/no reload with a rocket launcher or fuel rod gun.

You kill him, you become him, only the jugger gets points (apart from killing the jugger)

I've always played Juggernaut where he's got a Grav hammer.

That's also very fun yes

Oh my god he's got a hammer... OH MY GOD HE'S TWICE AS FAST AS ME AND HAS A HAMMER!

I'm shooting him in the head! WHYWON'THEDIE!?!?

To change your right shoulder icon you have to change the actual right shoulder armor piece. It's annoying, yeah.

I just played through Space Marine while listening to Rob Zombie... it was trance-inducing.

I know what you mean. It doesn't have a lot of, you know, variety but it's a good game for getting in the zone and staying there for a while.

Bah freaking RO2 and your random and common crashes... it actually makes you appreciate SM a little. Besides all our gripes it was a pretty dang smooth launch.

IT really does. It's only crashed for me once...
