I expected more considoring the amount of time they have been working on it.

If they really are going to deliver everything they initially mentioned ( which I doubt ) then its going to be a few years yet.

I just hope that they increase the scale massively, and improve the games too, this alpha or whatever we are playing at the moment is putting more people off than it is attracting, it was made playable far too early in my opinion and it will be detrimental to sales,

My thoughts exactly.

New patch is out:

**Skinnereal**

There is talk on the general forums of open access coming to Steam.
I will update more when it happens, but it looks like the NDA and closed beta is coming to an end.

Seriously debating purchasing this (early access) title right now. We'll see how long my will power holds.

Hmmm are the Nids a playable faction on release?

**Eldarain**

Unless something has changed Nids were described as an NPC faction which will be for PVE and also a balancing feature by attacking the ascendant faction if they get too far ahead.

That might be ancient outdated info though. Haven't really been paying attention to this for some time now.

Apparently they will stay as NPCs with Orks and Eldar becoming playable.

**Dentry**

Yes, the nids are the PvE content.

SM, CSM, Eldar, and Orks will provide the territories style PvP.

Here is what it looks like when you have a good team

**Bobthehero**

I am having fun, but I'd much rather play IG.

Eh, got it while it was on sale. Anyone feels like the Plasma gun is rather bad?

I've not used the PG as much as the PC but I like them, the ability to over-charge shots can make them really lethal

**Valres**

I bought it just before the Steam release, after loading it up for the first time it didn't run well, it was very choppy with the FPS.

But the past few days with the patches and them working on the AMD problems its getting more playable which is great.
All in all, good fun!

**MadMuzza**

My funniest kill so far:

**Ratius**

Uhmmm, I checked this on Steam tonight and it was 40 euro for what they openly say is an alpha test build.
Have I missed something? 40 quid for a game that might not make it out of alpha (lets say they find some game crippling bug later on)?
User reviews on Steam also say its most definitely not optimised of yet.
Again am I missing something?

Sorry for asking, but I just noticed on the product page that the game also has a coop mode. Has this been implemented yet?

Nope.

Its not a bad game; it's horrifically balanced with a tiny selection of maps and the 40k elements are very much cosmetic. It is decent fun though.

When there is more content it may well be a lot more interesting.

**BrookM**

Thanks. I'm not looking to commit to this game until I know for sure that the coop function is in then. Deathmatch isn't really to my liking.

**MadMuzza**

The game needs more of this!

**Sigvatr**

Wasn't the game supposed to be a MMO? Right now, it looks like a generic FPS.
