I dunno HOW the hell you bolt pistol guys are so damn accurate

I've been doing this a long time, and I play it on PC. Mice make aiming a heck of a lot faster and easier than my 360 joysticks.

Then you land some dude right next to me with a big ol jetpack on his head, a brain full of mad, and hes more or less coming at me in a straight line or standing still...Barring lag/host advantage it's Child's play.

....On the other hand, I am generally on the way to getting drunk (Or have left the Last Outpost of Sobriety long beforehand) or half-<CENSORING> my playing nowadays too...Hm. Perhaps I'd kill more if I stopped that...

I imagine I can scrape one together, got 4 or 5 people on my list that play with a couple more planning on it. Hopefully won't have to join with pubbers but I've actually met a couple really cool people that way.

Is there an upper limit for XP that anyone noticed? I realized you stop ranking up once you hit the number for 41 but it looks like the XP still accumulates. Hopefully the DLC will include a raise of the level cap ala Halo Reach.

Agreed, I'm already 37

I'm 38, and I can't wait for Exterminatus to change things up a bit. These last few levels are starting to turn into a bit of a grind. The main thing keeping me going currently is that Mk 4 armor being dangled like a carrot on a stick.

Sad news that I learned today... I was mistaken that you still accrue XP after reaching 41. You actually are just frozen at the same XP for some odd reason instead of still gaining it from challenges/battles without the leveling.

Call me a n00b, but when does exterminatus come out, and well err... what is it?

4-player co-op horde mode, where you and 3 buddies team up against waves of Chaos and Orks.

Also your multiplayer ranks, unlocks and armour carry over.

It'll hit sometime in October.

That sounds excellent! I'm hoping it's free?

It is.

It comes out thirty days after release. Release date was September 5/6th. So expect it first week of october-- or, in one week.

Excellent excellent. This may make me wait four Dark Souls...

Im pretty excited for it to drop. I think itll be the only reason I end up putting the coolers on my HBolter, as in a P2P game, that perk is useless




Also, why dont my multi killstreaks count as more then 1 killstreak? It would make getting second perks so much easier, Ill get killstreak x6 or so and it still only counts as 1. WTF?

True that. What do you people think about getting bonuses for killstreaks, like in CoD or Crysis? I mean, wouldn't it be cool to get a 9 killstreak and get an orbital strike on your enemies?

Not with such small maps... nevermind all indoors maps.

I've pretty much stopped playing the MP, so I'm looking forward to the co-op hitting.

Nope, it's stupid in CoD, and it would be even dumber in this.

Maybe you should play some other things too, you don't just have to play Space Marine all the time

I am switching it up between SM, GoW3, and Reach

I don't really game much these days. I play Diablo 2 a little but that's about it.

Having a bit more play now under my belt, I'd go with the following issues:

1. Small content - single player was not that long, and Multiplayer is deep in the classes but short on levels/modes

2. Lag - The game really could have used some dedicated servers for it, going straight to other people can really bog down the game, even when you yourself have a good connection (and I'm not sure it always picks the best connection speed when it jumps in, if it's going to force dump you into a game, than at least it might let you select).

Nice things:

Graphics - the graphics are all very good and pretty

Kit customization - You can really tailor your kits and appearance, which is very nice.

I will definitely agree on the host issue. Sometimes the hosts are great, and I have no problems with the game play. Other times, assault marines float in the air, and you've no idea where they are going to attack. Or your shooting at someone, and they magically teleport 50ft that way, and youve been shooting at a wall and not known it.

Infact that happened the other night when my brother and I got to finally play together. The first match we played, the host was so fething terrible, that crap happened everywhere, and to everyone playing. You could tell be cause when the match was done, everyone had really low kills. Then the 2nd match started the same way, but then we got the "migrating to new host" and it froze the game up and we both to (so Im guessing everyone did) reset the game. It was pretty annoying

I'm having the same problem with the hosts. More than once I have been shooting at an Assault Marine only to have him magically appear behind me and kill me with a melee attack. Or been shot to death, despite the fact I was behind cover.

I love playing this game, but the extreme lag is making me go back to Black Ops and Bad Company 2....well, until the DLC comes out

Haven't posted in a while, but felt the need to drop in - really loving the game on the whole. I don't think the single player was too short, but will agree that the multiplayer is in need of more maps and gametypes.

Still, it's nice to finally have a game that makes playing as a Space Marine feel just as awesome as it should. Can't wait for Exterminatus!

I'm hoping that in addition to the new mode and maps for exterminatus, they might toss in a few extra regular maps as well.

At this point, I would say I am VERY familiar with all of the maps, lol. And man, they really need to put some maps in different settings, getting a bit tired of forgeworld brown... need a BLUE SKY! Hell, put a map on a different planet, I don't care!

Agreed. Im to the point that when someone tosses a flashbang.....I know where to run, even when blind. Infact sometimes, Ill just shoot into the white, and score kills I used to run and flail like a noob



Even if the maps had some random....something. I dont care either, just some more change then the 3 maps Im always on

Usually when I'm ahinvg to deal with flashbangs, I'm on assault, which means I inevitably jump away as instinct...

Blind grenades are annoying, but I definitely get hit with them the most as assault as well.

Rolled out the Heavy Bolter for the first time the other night... went 10-0 on my first try with it, I really like that gun!

I kinda wished they'd put executions into Exterminatus, just give Tacs a chain sword, and then maybe make an animation for devs to smash their guns onto the chest/head of their enemy
