It's 30 IIRC. Just remember that a series of kills only counts as one killstreak when you're doing your mental count. Whether you take a 3-kill streak and turn it slowly into a max one, it still counts as a single streak. Bolter targeter is DEFINITELY worth it if your playstyle leans more towards medium range support. Just hang out under a roof and pick off those assault marines flailing out in the open trying to kill your teammates. I'm actually considering trying out the standard bolter with the targeter and foregoing the kraken rounds; instead, I'll take the 4 grenade perk and use them to strip the armor off opposing players.

Rewarding death in ANY game is never a good idea.

Your opinion is not fact.

I still stand by my assumption that everyone whining about FV are just butt-angry because it kills them so much.

And your opinion isn't made any more important with references to forced anal sex. It doesn't kill me much as I almost always play tacticals and roll away but I simply don't like the idea of an easy n00b XP button. Gaining xp should require player interaction IMO and that perk doesn't meet that criteria. I'd actually have no problem if it still exploded and killed people as is but just didn't reward the owning player with XP.

Uh, "butt angry" is a figure of speech and has nothing to do with what you have mentioned. I stand by my opinion, as I can see that you do also. Everyone is entitled to one.

Isn't the phrase "butt hurt"?

Old joke from a forum where typing "butt hurt" resulted in those words showing as something else. "Butt devastated" is my personal fave, but I save its use for special occasions.

My butt gets angry if I have a dodgy Ruby Murray.

I don't mind FV, if you hang around an exploding Assault Marine then fool you for not learning.

How do you get the second perk unlocked for a Tactical Marine, I don't seem to be able to find out how to do it?

I do blow at this game, I find myself running around aimlessly ending up in the middle of the enemies spawn point. A great FPS player I am not.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Seems i'm also not very good at reading posts in forums as well



Aw man, a long way to go for me then ...

Yeah, kill streaks for the bolter, that is going to take me for freaking ever...

His Master's Voice wrote:15 killstreaks with the bolter.

Im working on it, nailed a few today. Hell I got 3 in one match.


What does the cooler dealy-o do for the heavy bolter? I want to work on that one as well....but does it just keep the gun cool? If so...thats kindda lame right?



Also, how the HELL does one use the melta properly? An hour ago, I officially killed my 10th person, and that took me this whole time to do it.....and honestly, I didnt realize I killed so many. So far, I seem to do ok, puffing someone with it, busting out the bolter, spraying a bit, then puffing again with the melta. Ive been 1 hit KO'ed by that thing MANY times. What am I missing?! Do you have to head shot with it or something?

Some games I dont get any, others, I seem to just own people. Ive found that being aggressive with the tactical, and doing short bursts works well. And grenades. Seriously, grenades are just awesome weapons. I wish I had more then 2 Also, if you feel like your in over your head, dodge away and run for it to heal up, dont stand around hoping you can take it.

I really lack motivation to get the last 2 ranks in MP, it has really got repetitive with so few modes and maps :/

I've find the melta to work best as a back up weapon, if I'm going to into an area with corners or hallways I'll switch to it, or if I see an enemy assault flying near my location I'll switch to it and roll, most of the time it's a easy insta kill.

Take a break, you can easily get the last 2 ranks with Exterminatus when it releases.

So, still anyone on XBL since gears release? Cause im on gears.

Sad but true. I finally started playing this weekend as my xbox returned from repair and your videos kept me interested in the game in the meantime. Five maps really isn't enough (especially when two of them are really similar looking).

The last upgrade with the boltgun basically eliminates scatter.

It really is damned good, makes the boltgun as devastating as your aim, without needing to fire in bursts.

Ugh, I suck so hard with the bolter. Almost level 19 and don't even have the Kraken bolts yet :/

I think you need to just suck it up and learn how to use it. Its very different then how you use the Dev or the assault marine. It took me a couple levels once I figured it out to get kraken rounds. And they are the tits.


But uh.... I simply CANNOT get online to play it tonight for some reason. I played this morning with little problems, tonight, around the time the highschoolers get out, I honestly just sit here waiting. Earlier I gave up after 3 attempts in a row, and waiting for 45 minutes. Seriously...that gak is completely unacceptable. Im sure glad I bought this and cant use the online feature when ever I want /rant

Ok, Ive been playing as the hbolter dev again, and Im WAY better with him then the tactical w/kraken bolter. Holy moly, my time with the tactical made me all the better with the hbolter. I played a couple matches just now, and was slaying em. The last match, I killed 18 of my opponents, captured 6 objectives and defended mine 6 times. Wow.

In case it has been missed, has anyone else figured out the trick to make you devastator fly?

I'm sure you can find out how to cheat on youtube.. no reason to teach glitches here.

It's odd though, I rarely see anyone using the PS, could just be very few people preordered from THQ on the PC side of the house.

I got mine from playing Kill Team on Xbox. It has the same stats as the chainsword.

Lol, there's games with cover based combat FAR better implemented than Gears. And for non-cover based combat, Space Marine takes the cake.

Oh you want cover? BAM, chainsword to the face!

No ones saying any of that? Stop baiting.

I prefer Gears purely for it's story and co-op anyway, so it doesn't matter anyway

Uh duh, just wondering if anyone else knew about it.

So, I used to use the Bolter and Stalker pattern all the time, but I switched to the Plasma Gun yesterday and LOVE IT. I'm surprised more people don't use it. I find that the Tac Marine with Plasma Gun and Melta Gun has the perfect amount of long and close range support

As for FV, I think it's fine just how it is. I'm sorry, but I quickly learned to roll or not get near ANY Assault class after they die - it's common sense.

And is it just me, or is the Chainsword/Power Sword the best choice for the Assault CC weapon?

If what I said is baiting, then talking about GoW in a Space Marine thread is baiting^2.'

Like talking up starcrap in a DoW thread. Or bragging about CoD in a BF thread.

Stop claiming I'm baiting/trolling when you're doing far more of it.

Something nice they could have done is a mode when they're waves of Enemis running at you , like the firefight mode in Halo:ODST

It's called Exterminatus, and it's coming first week of october.
