Im pretty close on the hbolter....but I wanted to work on the other weapons a bit more. And yea, the HBolter is just badass wrapped into a weapon. I you set up a good fire lane, you can just lay opponents down like wheat

Not spoiling anything but the final fight was awesome !!!!!!!!!!!
Fingers crossed on some DLC soon

The warboss, though.. HE put up a fight.
Some small spoilers...
Spoiler:
While the warboss was definitely the better of the two big boss fights, I had problems with both. I would have preferred an end to the warboss fight with a unique in game engine execution instead of a cutscene (or at least activating the cutscene that way instead of him staying up on the platform for the second half). As for the game ending fight, it was incredibly unsatisfying to have it be just a quick time event button mash. Fighting him first the normal way (as with the warboss) and then QTEs? That I'd have been fine with.

My thoughts on the end
Spoiler:
Yea the final boss wasnt that badass......I had a much harder time fighting all his minions before hand. I restarted the game the other day and am playing it through on hard, so Im sure that part will piss me off something fierce But that fall fighting bit was kindda cool, it was different for sure
But ya, the Warboss....holy gak that guy was tough. I dunno how many times I hit him with the lascannon and how many bullets I put through him, and how many bombsquigs I blew up at his side, but he was proppa Ork tough.
I've just got a new PC, and would like to know if 'SPACE MARINE' plays as good on this format as on the consoles?
My DIY Chapter's ace in the hole are an Elite Scout Company, whose active units have aquired the tag of,'Belt Notchers'.
Comprising of newly promoted neophytes, sergeants, and vets from the Chapter's inception. Exploiting all of the advantages which arrise out of stealth-work, the'Belt Notchers' are,in their own right a terror weapon and the mere hint, whisper or rumour of their deployment has been enough to quell many an uprising.
Some quick thoughts on mutiplayer:
I am about 3-4 kill streaks away from the bolter targeter. It has been a slow, slow process. At this point I am thinkng I should have focused on other weapon perks as I am sick of the bolter now......
Lascannons, and Scoped bolter are my least liked weapons. Never been a fan of hiding in a corner and sniping others. Fail to see the fun in it. Plasma Cannons are lazy too but at least you see them coming.
I agree with you big time. I think the Killstreaks take to damn long, specially with a weapon you arnt so good at. Ive been working on the stormbolter trying to get that up there, and sometimes I get a good killstreak going and it only counts as 1 fething killstreak! I just got a x8 killstreak.....and thats all I get? WTF?! But yea.....what can ya do
I need help - I've been sitting in this damned multiplayer lobby for what must easily be 20 minutes having just bought the game tonight, people are coming and going all the time, both teams getting 8/8 players, it says starting across the top for the whole thing but NOTHING'S FETHING HAPPENING!
Am I missing something? I've button mashed all the way through this just to try and see if I hadn't readied up but there's no option for this...?
What system are you playing on? I know the PS3 crowd anyways, had some issues from the start on getting into games, and did exactly what you mentioned, but they released a patch that you have to download and it fixed it right up
Weirdly, complaining about it to the Dakka community seems to have fixed the issue, now I just need to... get good. Could take a while judging by how badly I just got pwned! 1 kill: 13 deaths? Not good....
KTD isn't as important in SM, infact dying pays off in the way of EXP for certain challenges. Once you get the hang of it you should start get a positive one, but the game is very meat grinderish.

Thats true, sometimes Ive have a higher death ratio then kills, and STILL landed in the top 3 spots. Something that will help you out alot, help capture points, always uncap the enemies objectives whenever you can, and to help you get better at killing people, follow someone. Seriously, just tag along some random team member and when he/she starts shooting things, shoot with them. Itll help you out, AND if you just behind the fellow, you have a better chance of seeing someone dropping on his face. Then youve got a better chance to move back and just shoot at the assault marine
Yeah it's the assault marines that i was struggling with, both using and against - I found that I wasn't hitting things because I wasnt lined up correctly thanks to that naff camera, or theyd just drop in behind me (using Devastator, mostly, that HB rocks).
What a shame, I'll have to get some practice in tonight
I myself just finished the campaign, while the majority of it was pretty good, there was some parts that annoyed me, mainly the final battle.
Spoiler:
I was expecting somethin alot more awesome than, shoulder barrage off the edge into a button mash, Like above a normal fight then the air fight would have made it better.
Oh and I hated the Ork Warboss, not for the fact he was tough but for the fact there was a gakky excecution. I was chanting at my screen for somethin awesome to happen then he just shoots the Warboss in the face. WTF?!
When the rich rage war it's the poor who die

Armies I want:Lizardmen, Warriors Of Chaos, Dark Eldar

Agreed. I wouldn't have minded a quick-time button mash AFTER a proper fight at the end of the game but not instead of. As for the earlier boss fight, an IN GAME execution followed by a cutscene would have been much preferred. I had more fun bashing normal chaos champions' and nobs' heads in than the final boss fight.

Wait in regards to warboss...
Spoiler:
I thought for sure I had grabbed his jaws and ripped them apart, or am I confusing this with another part of the game?

I removed your spoiler tags since you're probably referring to a regular nob battle. The warboss battle ended for me as described in the spoiler tag below.
Spoiler:
You shoot him in the face when he's disabled with your plasma pistol after some verbal banter. This is done in a cutscene and not the in-game engine.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I'd be pleasantly surprised if there were different endings to it though.
I've heard through general in game chatter that the DLC is supposed to drop on October 2nd. Does anyone have a link to where that is officially listed or just reported on a gaming site?

I see nothing about that date on their twitter account or on Space Marine's site, though I haven't searched the forum too deeply.
I do know that it was said to be thirty days after release (the 6th). So that'd be mid-late next week.
