We can, it's called praying to the machine god!

Really looking forward to Exterminatus. I'm wondering if we'll just fight Orks, or Chaos as well. Let's scroos our fingers for some Tyranid DLC as well.

Seriously, as much as I love the game and how it portrays the 40k universe, I just wish the maps would be a bit more varied. Something on an ice or jungle world.

As much as i love this game, both SP and MP im almost ready to pull the plug on it.I cant handle the lag issues with the MP and playing from Australia its becoming impossible to play a match without suffering a dangerous rage attack.I know it could be worse but the best connection i ever get is 2 bars and typically (90%) of the time play with 1 red bar.Sometimes its not so bad but the amount of times i get shot through cover,killed by an unswung thunderhammer, or get cut down by an assault marine while im standing behind them watching them attack the area about 10 metres infront of me is starting to take its toll on my sanity.I really hope it gets patched and fixed because any of my australian friends online who were playing have given up and i dont want to aswell.

Its both Chaos and Orks.

I agree on hoping to see some different environments like a jungle or archipelago.

What platform are you on? I haven't had any issues on 360, and apparently the matchmaking on PS3 has also been fixed.

It's cause he's from Australia, he gets gak connections because of P2P and living thousands of miles from any civilized people.

Yeah, it's kinda sad-- AUS players basically use the same matchmaker as NA players.

Doh, that's kind of explains things then, lol.

I don't even know if dedicated servers would be able to fix that; well unless he was running it out of his house.

Never! If I must suffer the failings of the world then so must you

To go off completly into wishfull thinking, wouldn't this game be perfect for recreating some "historical" 40k battles, like Macragge or Armageddon?

That seems very, very unlikely to happen. GW wants to keep said battles vague.

That way their easier to retcon down the road

Would be nice if the Mod scene got ahold of this though, some custom maps, 20 SM, 200 Orks type deal, and they we could all gripe as our computers melted

That would be epic. but with how much hell you let loose on the orks, better make that 20 space marines vs 400 orks! more even that way

True...so umm any of us know how to do this?

I don't have it on PC, and I don't think they released any modding tools.

warboss wrote: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.

GAH!! Me too. The only thing plasma I use alot is the plasma pistol on the assault marine, and thats only barely, like when someone is running away from me and I can get a couple clear shots to their backside. Other then that, I just dont like them. They fire much to slowly for my tastes, and the plasma cannon just pisses me off with how over powered the charge splash is. Its insane. I even read one of those "helpful tips" things that mentioned the plasmacannon has a stronger shot if fired directly at someone then the charge splash. BS! Ive taken a few hits from the RARE person that shoots them directly, and survived plenty of times. The splash damage noob fire into a random area shots, now those I can count on one hand the times Ive survived that, and its alwayss been just barely

Ya plasma cannons have better splash damage me thinks.

I made a hilariously colored CSM just the other day for kicks. So if you see the equivalent of fruit loops mixed with spaceMarine,on PSN, chances are decent it was me

I almost have the all the parts for the Mk6 armor unlocked...the only thing I have left is the helmet and I have my Heresy-Era Death Guard

And I found that the Storm Bolter is awesome against Assault Class...I went 17-7 with four captures and three defends on Waste Management last night

Playing horde mode in Gears 3 just makes me want Exterminatus more.

I unlocked the helmet just the other day. I LOVE that style helmet, my fav by far. Im still tweeking the stormbolter though. I seem to still do ok, meaning I havnt totally figured out how best to use it. Im thinking when next I play with that, Ill go with that perk that gives you a bunch of grenades, thatll help me out a ton taking down folks, specially those damned Iron halo/FNP devs

I think the Plasma Gun works great against Devs...hit them with a charged shot, cool down, then rush them while shooting normal shots...or nuke them with the Melta when you get close enough

I hate plasma guns. In single player and multiplayer.

honestly though, getting shot down instantly on the Hab-blocks map cause everyone is just spamming plasma cannon devs is so annoying.

that is until I outflanked with an assault marine and taught them a good lesson.

I even prefer the bolt pistol to the plasma pistol, I think its more accurate and I get better headshots with it.

Oh yes, it's so fun killing a las or plas devasator as assault. Heavy bolter devastators stand a much better chance against assault marines.

I got all the wins I need for Mk8 armor. I have me awesome neckguard armor now

I agree about the hbolter dev against assault. If Im in the right area, I can kick an assaults ass. Oddly enough, that area I need, has to be a big open area, I need the assault to leap up into the air, then I chuck a couple grenades at the ground and dodge. It works rather well, and if the bastard gets right on me, then I just drop all the grenades Ive got on my feet and let him kill me. I get SO many "glory in death" or revenge kills because they explode just as they are killing me

I even prefer the bolt pistol to the plasma pistol

99% of the time, so do I. It's the only way I have found to make the power axe useful, use the axe to strip their armor, and doubletap them with the pistol. The use I have found for the plasma pistol is stripping the armor off devastators so the chainsword can come down and one/two shot them.

It works rather well, and if the bastard gets right on me, then I just drop all the grenades Ive got on my feet and let him kill me.

Oi! You stop final vengeance devastator-ing right now! You can't use that perk, only WE can use that perk!

Seriously though, I do love it when they land semi-off target, they're recovering while i'm prepping the stomp, and then it comes down and strips their armor just in time to get a pair of bolt pistol rounds ripping through their eyeballs.

I dunno HOW the hell you bolt pistol guys are so damn accurate I think though, I really need a new controller, as I bought mine used its pretty worn out with all the game time Ive put on it since buying my PS3 forever ago. So now the analogs are pretty....loose to say the least.

But yea, I laugh EVERYTIME I kill an assault marine with that, because I just KNOW they are sitting at home going "son of a bitch! That guy gets me with that everytime!"

I'm taking a break until the DLC I think to play Ro2, but I will say, damn if that Bolt Pistol is a tiny little sniper rifle on it's own. At least on the PC. I love using that thing, but it may need a slight accuracy nerf....

Indeed, I'm breaking for a similar reason unless my group wants to do an event.

I have a group already prepared to do some Exterminatus, woo!
