Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm finally getting around to playing. So much fun.

Exterminatus is pretty nuts. The last two Ork waves are just insane. And then there's the very last round.... If you don't have a good team, you're boned.

Good to see that the co-op mode is fun. When Space Marine price drops, I might pick it back up.

Anyone actually beaten Exterminatus yet? I can't come to a good conclusion on what loadout to use. From what I've seen though, to win you need two assaults at least. Heavy support (or whatever it's called) seems pretty useless unless you get the plasma cannon....

I use the normal soldier class though. What loadout should I use? Currently I'm Bolter+Kraken rounds, master-crafted gear (for super nades) OR I use Bolter+Kraken and Meltagun. I'm thinking of trying plasma gun+storm bolter...

Nice, I just bought this. Love Warhammer so hopefully this lives up to it.

I bought it for 5 bucks, and it is definitely worth it ^^. It's a very entertaining game. The solo is awesome. It's not the best, it's not that beautiful, but it's damn fun.

One of the devs confirms there won't be any sequels and talks about where they were planning on taking the story.

 

[Nathan]

Goddamnit.
