I've spent close to 18 hours playing the game so far, it's not bad. Repetitive, yes, and a lot of the game play still has some kinks but over all I have had fun playing it. Shooting is a viable option as Plasma shots quickly eat through shields and armor, same with melta (they used melta as represented in Space Marine, so think over glorified flamer). Lascannons are very useful against vehicles and using the bolter or scoped version helps when moving as a group (5 marines with bolters can take on almost any threat) Assault marines and raptors are tricky and their whole thing is to dance around the front lines and hit and run opponents from behind. Shield guys are kind of OP in that most weapons, if not all, cannot penetrate their shields (it is easy to dodge them by rolling, then taking them out when their shield is lowered), however I play a Chaos Chosen with power mace, and have found that I can usually end the game in the positive K/D realm. The game does take some getting used to, and it relies heavily on how well your team can cooperate and react to what the opposing side is doing.

As far as programming, I never had many problems until after the most recent update, and now on one of the maps my computer frequently freezes. So far that is my only complaint.
