I actually got hate mail after a game today. I've never gotten hate mail in a shooter before (I'm really not that good). Dude called me some names and said my loadout was the cheesiest crap ever. Dev with Plasma Cannon, Iron Halo+faster armor regen perk. Butthurt assault players.

. I did try to get a lot of esoteric ones that we didn't do in DOW1/2 etc., but we couldn't do 'em all.I also underestimated the Flesh Tearers love out there, haha.
Mentors is a tiny bit different (they share the Raptors one), but if to the average player, it would've sufficed, for sure.

I have an extra "Golden Relic Bolter" preorder code if someone has an equivalent code to trade.

Well there were alot of good choices too. Praetors of Orpheus, Doom Eagles, Storm Lords, Dark Hunters.. alot of pleasantily surprising stuff. So its not all bad.

Up to chapter 13 now. Combat has become a chore but the universe is very interesting. I'm probably go pick up one of the novels after I've finished this.
Also 40,000 kills for a gold trophy. Really? That's bloody ridiculous.

One thing I keep forgetting to ask. I just started the game today so...How do I get the Force Sword that I unlock by owning Kill Team? Is it just for multiplayer or what?

Playing through the single-player and running into some trouble against the larger orks. I'm trying to use Y to interrupt melees the same way I would in multiplayer, but I can't tell if it's working...
We finally got our review up by our new Xbox360/PC editor.

Man this game is so good. It gets the basics so right that the game is just a blast to play.
That's why even though it is a little repetitive, the combat is just so fucking good to the core that it doesn't wear out it's welcome. It also really points to how awesome an expanded sequel would be- it's one of those games. The weapon selection is already perfect, what I want to see is more enemy types (different races), more environments and more open world. Oh and vehicles as enemies.
P.S. Relic, I know I'm playing SPACE MARINE. Thanks for having the Orks, Imperial Guard, Inquisitor and every other character in that game point it out for me
P.P.S. The thunder hammer is pure sex. Also the Stalker Bolter is my favorite sniper gun in any game ever.

Have you met Lascannon? If not, you should use it. If you have already met Lascannon, then he wants a talk with you.

I did use it. I specifically swapped out the lascannon back for the Stalker Bolter even though it's weaker :lolnarcosis219 said:
I did like it and get a bunch of use out of it but man, the sound effect on the Bolter is so beautiful.
Edit: Also with the lascannon you don't have to line up headshots which is lame =/

Having some more single-player accessible content makes a bit of sense. What makes more sense is clarifying whether or not it requires 4 players. I mean, they let some media outlets do a preview of it - they said different and vague things about the issue - and when contacted the project lead and THQ's community manager declined to confirm or deny anything. It's moderately basic information about the mode; granted, people who've bought the game new aren't paying for it, but keeping silent on it for much longer will genuinely constitute dicking people around for no apparent reason.

One thing I really hope they get rid of in a sequel is the endless running down empty corridors and pressing switches to open doors/lifts/platforms which is just pure padding.

God's had his chance.
Hit 250 kills with the thunder hammer last night and set it down for a while cause i was getting kind of burned out on it after powering through to the extra xp. Starting wrecking shit with the chainsword again and trying out tac marines a little ...
Then today some lil bitch was acting all uppity running around refusing to die and threatening to cap my point... armory... assault one ... hammer doth smash!!!!
I fucking love this game.

Still trying to decide between this and Dead Island as a purchase later today (paycheck day!).
Leaning towards Space Marine now, but I go back and forth :/ Is the netcode *really* that bad? Like so bad it's not fun?
I know I'll have a blast in the single player, that's no worry for me (loved the demo) -- but I want to at least be able to hop in the multiplayer and find a game when I want to (and not have to wait 10 minutes in matchmaking).

I love the game, I don't seem to have many problems online (PC) so not everyone has it. I usually get put into a game within a minute or two. I would say get this game for sure but both are good

Dead Island pushes me away because I hate the fact that they made users have to risk being VAC banned just to make the game playable.

I'm just talking about VSync and a FOV that doesn't make you feel nauseous. Not to mention disabling that horrendous Bloom and depth of field.derFeef said:
A game with screen tearing is unplayable to me, and CCC/D3Doverider doesn't work in a lot of cases. Not worth the risk.
I want to pick up both games, eventually, I just have to choose which is the wisest to pick up NOW in the shape they are in. I mean, Techland *has* to eventually add those graphical options....right? :/
Resource management, upgrading, switching. But that's the wrong thread to discuss this and I already said in the DI thread that I find such changes quite ridiculous. Takes the fun away.Gvaz said:
Why not make my Space Marine invulnerable during executions also? I hate to think and plan my attacks!
So, the Bolter with the Bolter Targeter & Kraken Rounds IS DISGUSTING. There is no reticule bloom, AT ALL, when you LeftTrigger in. I could snipe across the map with this thing, even Titus can't hold it this steady.
Also, why did they even call them perks? they should have just called them Wargear accessories, just like Last Stand gear which basically works the same way (accessories).
And Raph... was he always an outside contractor, or did he like, leave Relic right after Space Marine launched?

Beat the campaign last night. It's a solid action title. I'm totally down for a sequel with some added variety like space battles or rpg character progression.
Tried some multiplayer today up to level 5. I'm not feeling it. Too few modes and the ps3 version is plagued by some bad matchmaking and lag.

Been playing this game for a week now and I gotta say the singleplayer campaign is pretty fun. One thing I don't like though is that for the first two thirds of the game there is a good mix of shooter and melee elements, but towards the end of the game the melee element is diminished. If you try and charge into battle with the thunder hammer you'll get torn apart, even on normal.
