Fuuuuck it's crashing my computer every 2 or 3 matches now.

 

[MrCompletely]

Surprisingly I have only had one or two laggy games so far on the PC, which actually sort of amazes me. On the other hand, this stupid game refuses to recognize my mic on my headset. It works perfectly fine on the voice page in the Steam options, but in game it is like I don't even have it plugged in.

this is my exact experience, I've had a few laggy matches, but most are fine. My mic works in every other application except for this game.

Same, encountering very little to no lag right now

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Wow, v-sync is kinda busted, isn't it? I was getting framdrops and slowdowns like crazy with that turned on. I turned it off and it's silk smooth now. Strangely enough, I'm not seeing any screen tearing.

weird, works fine for me, actually im even impressed that i get no input lag with the mouse whatsoever while using vsync. Seems to be the case in most games.

 

[Mechazawa]

Pretty sure SM uses double buffer. Got turn on triple if you want a smooth tear free experience.

 

[Alex Connolly]

If the netcode issues continue, hopefully Relic pull a Splash Damage and offer up a little free something-something after Exterminatus.

 

[The Antitype]

Ok, I've hit 25 and the multiplayer grind is starting to wear on me.

The game really needs more maps, cause playing through same 4 or 5 gets really tiresome, especially when they all look the same.

The single-player took place on a forge-world, so I understand the singular, industrial look for the world. No reason they couldn't have made some cool hive worlds, Ork cities or Necron temples, or Chaos freighters for the multiplayer though.

 

[kamspy]

I've been watching the last 800MB crawl down from Steam at a blistering 321.9 KB/s for almost an hour.

Feels long man. :|

Oh, that's unfortunate. I haven't played the multiplayer yet, but those sound like complaints that would bug me.

Honestly, I'm a bit tired of the campaign's look too. I really dislike brown brown brown.

 

[Salazar]

That counts as a decent rate for me. Going to push through the campaign tonight and tomorrow and then start replaying the fuck-awesome sections.

Of which there are a few. MP might be shady for you guys, but this SP - though short - is fucking sweet.

 

[LowParry]

Man. When MP is lag free, the games are godly. And it makes the Assault class so much fun. SP I'm really enjoying. Chapter 5 or 6. I don't mind the brown/red/green effect of what I see. The combat and story keeps me hooked. Plus I've always enjoyed Relic games. I certainly hope they do a Space Marine 2 in the future. The Necrons are due for their return. If not, bring them in Dawn of War 3 at least.

 

[Uriah]

In multiplayer, my computer has blue screened twice, and crashed once.

Their senior MP programmer hasn't been tweeting, so I guess the dude is busy.

If their online is still fucked when they push out co-op, it will be fucking absurd.

Update!

Matchmaking on PS3:
Our team has isolated the issue and has a patch in with our QA team to verify the matchmaking issue is resolved. Again we are working as fast as we can to resolve the problem. Keep in mind you are still able to join matchmaking games in the meantime, but the wait times can exceed over 35minutes.

lolwtf

 

[Ken]

Regardless of whether or not they give us something for the MP issues, I'm still happy with my purchase thanks to the single player, unlike with Brink.

 

[Xevren]

Where are all the lag issues happening? I've only had maybe 1 or 2 laggy games on the 360. I do enjoy the multiplayer, but I just don't see it having a lot of staying power. Only 2 game modes and a small hand full of maps just isn't going to be enough.

 

[Narag]

Maybe it'll develop a crazy cult following like Shadowrun.

I miss Shadowrun.

 

[Reclaimer]

About mid way through the single player. Loving it!

Great attention to detail in both the feeling of raw power and tightly designed mechanics and controls.

I'm conducting a symphony of gore and chaos.

(someone make me a Warmachine game like this!)

 

[antiquegamer]

I have this game on 360 and loving it. Multi-player seems to be working great on the 360. I play this morning after work and able to find plenty of match. I really suck at this game but loving every seconds of it.

Also, no one on my friend list have this game. : <

 

[Malo]

Loving the campaign so far. Just hit chapter 12 and the difficulty certainly has ramped up.

 

[Salazar]

Fuck knows what THQ were/are thinking. You can have all the amazing plans for DLC that you want, but you can't tell people that the good stuff is in the future — who knows how far away, or how functional on release — and expect enough of them to grin and suck it up.

They had better fix shit before the co-op mode drops, and if the co-op is fucked as well, then I just dunno.

 

[Fjordson]

Finished the campaign. Freaking loved it, except for a certain sequence near th last boss. Ugh wanted to throw my controller through my TV after dying at least half a dozen times.

 

[Saikyuen]

Still have not been able to get into multiplayer. Ps3 freezes after 1-3min before I can get into a match. Have kept me busy with the campaign. So far I have really enjoyed it, even though its not the prettiest game in the world

There is nothing more gratifying that wild goose chases that end in colossal brick walls!

Some gameplay

[derFeef]

I can't join/invite friends in the lobby :/

 

[Jube3]

I can't join/invite friends in the lobby :/

yea running into this too, was playing fine earlier + last night but cant join/invite or connect in matchmaking.

 

[Xevren]

Met up with a group of people and played with them for 3-4 hours. Pretty much everyone was tactical with teleport homer, felt like a roaming death squad. So much fun playing with some smart people.

 

[Orgun]

Are there ports that need to be opened or something? Thought i'd try multiplayer to record some gameplay but I get stuck in the matchmaking screen (fuck matchmaking) with 40 games found.

 

[Salazar]

Post your kill count.

I am 2,335. Still not done with first campaign run. Planning to go back and meat-grind respawning orks.

 

[Alex Connolly]

Outside of crowd favourite, the Hammer, what're folks' preferred melee weapon?

 

[Salazar]

Axe.

Still need those lightning claws, though.

Started on painting the fuckton of Cadian shock-fodder I have lying around.

Click for a Mola Ram-looking motherfucker who still needs a lot of work.

I prefer every weapon to the hammer except in those sections that were made for it. Only being able to use onehanded weapons is crippling in the later parts.

Axe it is.

After finishing campaign on hard: Killcount 2,368.
I guess I should have exploited the Weirdboy a bit more

Awesome!

I just remembered what Space Marine channels for me...the only other game to offer such heft, Shadow of Rome. Crushing someone's head with an oversized mace has only been bested by Space Marine, so many years later.

Good to see the greenskin counter ticking over!

 

[El'Kharn]

Drooling over the Storm bolter/melta gun combo in MP.......suck melta assault noobs

 

[Darklord]

Just finished the game Great stuff. I guess by that ending, a sequel is expected.

Yeah, my brother came over and had a go tonight. I giggled like hell when he got to the jump-pack+hammer section. It's a joyous experience even watching someone else wreck shit.

 

[THuynh]

Anybody play through the demo and not like this, but played the game anyway and started liking it? I love 40k, but was turned off by the demo. Should I give the retail game a shot?

This, nothing better than rolling back from jump happy Mace wielders and slamming them down haha. Melta gun is my favorite weapon so far. It only works really close but man packs such a punch, have you picked up the reload perk for it El'kharn?

Depends on what you did not like about it. The Demo gives a GREAT illustration of the full game, though. Even the jumpack + hammer section was not fun?

Omg the reload perk for the win lol.
Am having a riot with this game....I just got a triple kill, 3 assault dudes jumped in on a devastator who was guarding a point with me, i rolled right behind one of them and got all 3 with one awesome blast, sooo much win in this game!

What is the cheapest place to get a key for this game?

cdkeysphere
25USD at the moment

 

[Fjordson]

Power Axe most definitely. Everything else feels too slow.

 

[erpg]

Power axe has great animations and attacks, but nothing sounds as good as a chainsword execution. I love how revved up and angry it sounds while you're slamming it into an ork's gut.

 

[Salazar]

Yeah. Dual chainswords would obliterate.

Dual axes is something only a Space Wolf would be badass enough to carry off.

 

[Dina]

What the fuck is up with the part where you stand on top of the Titans?

I can shoot one wizard down to the executable state, but none of the guns can take him down. The titan moving around sure as shit isn't helping, so I can't use my stalker or lascannon.

And then comes the flyer and I die.

I took them both down with lascannon fairly easily, double shot to the face each.

So, has anyone figured out if there's a cooldown timer for the jump pack anywhere in MP? I understand the balance reasons for not wanting players to always be jumping around, but it's not clear to me when I can and cannot use my jump. I end up just hopping around like an idiot when I want to jump away. Any HUD indicators I'm missing?

 

[Anilusion]

cdkeyshere worked fine. $25, downloading the game now!

 

[EatChildren]

Between this, Bulletstorm and Vanquish, it's been a fine generation of top tier action games.
