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

I thought it was red.

You know, from all the blood that you spill in Space Marine.

No it's blue. It just happens to be covered in a liquid high in oxidized iron

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.

I like them both, but I'll really have a treat once Exterminatus comes out; horde modes are probably my favorite part of these games. But I have to say, I do enjoy Space Marine's and Halo's competitive multiplayer than that of GoW3 so far (was no different with 2), and the Sawed-Off seems even more obnoxious than Melta-spam, lol.

The weaponry in Space Marine in general feels more meaty to me, but GoW3 is good too. I swear the architecture in some of the Gear's cities could have been lifted straight out of the Imperium though!

I think Hab Center is one of the best looking multiplayer levels I've ever seen...it's not my favorite, but looks awesome.

As far as I can tell swords>everything. In an assault speed is the key factor, and everything else just moves so slow. The hammer comes out on top only against people who sit still (stance'd devs and noobs) while you proceed to pummel them.

If you manage to stun someone with ground pound, the hammer can be quite good. But I think you have to land right next to them to do that...

Nope!

They actually wanted to release it on, well, release. But they decided to continue ironing out bugs before that, and continue to build balance and add features etc for another month before releasing it.

Once you get the one hit kill perk for the thunder hammer, its amazingly good, especially against unsuspecting enemies.

I know especially if they do release it for free, I'd be amazed in these days of micro transactions if they did something like that.

They actually already pushed back Space Marine from a beginning of summer release for the same reason IIRC.

Oh, and it IS free, there's no "if" about it, they've already officially stated it'll be free, as a four-man co-op mode that uses the same experience system and customization as multiplayer.

Yeah im excited for exterminatus even though im already lvl 41. But we really need some DLC maps and maybe some DLC armor sets as well(maps most important though)

So, wait, Mel, will we be able to use our Comp. Online stuff for the new mode coming out?

Is it a different level up thing, like if you're lvl 41 in multiplayer, will you start at level 1 for horde? or are they connected?

You carry over your MP rank and stuff AFAIK.

MrH wrote:You carry over your MP rank and stuff AFAIK.

Feth yeah. Level 41 SM all the way, baby!

I would prefer a new ranking system, So once I hit 41 in MP, I could go through all the levels again in horde mode.

I've tried switching up my routines in Space Marine a bit over the last day or two and have totally changed my mind about the storm bolter. While its still crap at medium ranges and beyond, it's pretty darn good right out of the box without any perks at point blank and short ranges. It's pretty darn good combined with the grenade perks for clearing out a command point. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the majority of the weapons and their balance. There are a few that I still don't find terribly useful in my own hands (like anything with the word plasma) but I do get killed by others wielding them.

I could live with more challenges and unlocks myself.

Perhaps once hitting 41, you can either stay there, or select a relic version (Gold) of any single item from the armory and reset your level.

That's actually not a bad idea.

I'd like to see the ability to customize each class different. Meaning like give my assault the beaky helm my tac the relic ect ect

Yeah. I can see why they didn't do it, cause that is a lot of extra data to load into a game, but it would ne nice to have different armor set ups to match the class. I'd love to have a Black Templar and a Blood Angel for assaults, Salamander for Dev, and Blood Raven and my DIY chapter for tacticals.

I do think it would be a pain, but they could keep it with same armor sets, just have 6 skins to pull from per game instead of 2. Maybe on down the road...

6 more skins for 16 people. That's a lot of extra data to prep before launching the game. Just saying I can see why they didn't do it. It's a lot of extra data management.

Hmm true, I bet if they got rid of the POS P2P system it work though
