I used Gamefly for this, but was thinking of getting the game at retail if the online is any good.
But I'm on PS3 and cannot even get into a game. Usually it tells me I was unable to host session, then sometimes it puts me in a little pre-search lobby I guess. I search on one of the two modes and nothing happens. I have let it sit for nearly 5 minutes one time and it still just said matches 20, potential matches 20 or whatever. Am I missing something? Is the MP even worth the hassle?

Good to read something like that. Very cool! Relic has really done a great job. You are going to enjoy Kaptin Bluddflagg in DoW II RetributionMattdaddy said:I knew next to nothing about Warhammer 40k before I played this. Now I'm kinda loving the shit outta it. The orcs are freaking great. It's like their sole purpose is to antagonize the Space Marines at all costs.The orc general is probably one of my favorite characters, he actually made me laugh. He's like a dim-witted pirate or something with massive brute strength and a burning desire to piss off Titus any way possible. He didn't take any shit from the Chaos guys either lolol. When he jumps back up on the ledge and is like "I ain't so easy to kill..." Then attacks Nemeroth, that was awesome. I really didn't want to see him goYOU WANT THAT SHINY THING SPACE MARINES?? THEN I WANT THAT SHINY THING."
I want more of this game badly, more Titan action, more locations, more enemy races, more orcs. I'm ready for SM 2 on the reg.
Awesome game overall. I would like to see the exploding jet packs and the laser snipers get toned done in multi though. The final stand perk needs a longer fuse I think. I can't get away even when I know its coming. And more maps.
This game also made me buy Dawn of War 2 just cause I loved the universe so much. Turns out that game is incredibly badass as well. Relic knows how to make you feel like a total killing machine.

Bah, don't take that shit too seriously. I'm sure I'll jump back into multiplayer here and there, I just need a break after powering through to lvl 33 in 3 days.

Hey guys I just got this game (PC) and the textures seem to not load, or be loading in super low quality, ive set everything to max, and stared at them for a while (in case it was just pop in) but they never load.
It isnt too much of an issue, cuz its only a few random wall textures, and the rest of the game is buttery smooth,.
But id love to fix that.
Also, are there any more advanced graphic options for the game, i feel like i could pull so much more from the engine than im getting right now?
P.S THis game was so worth it...im loving it to death.
The Voice acting has to be some of the best ive heard in a while

I'm surprised about all the complaints against Final Vengeance. Once you're aware of it, it's easy to avoid and I never bother wasting a perk slot on it. Just run or use the dodge key/button to get away from any assaults that you kill up close. If you're assault, just fly away right after killing them. I'm pretty sure that it makes a beeping sound as soon as they die and it also has its own indicator just like grenades.

Are they blacked out? I had an issue with that, but I couldn't figure out any fixes.

Silence them. Tab opens up the player list, and you can click the volume icon to the right of their names to mute. I always mute everyone in multiplayer games, I don't want to hear some schmuck talking through my headphones.

This might be the most fun I've had with a game in years. My wife said I had a smile on my face every time she looked at me while I was playing. I need more. This better sell well.

You can mute people in the scoreboard by clicking the little speaker icon next to them.Tonza said:
Relic needs to get their shit together for PC multiplayer on the next Space Marine game. No dedicated servers, no server browser and always-on mics should not happen on the PC. Luckily, I bought the game for the single player campaign which was awesome.

Now this I can understand. They should let you hover over perks to get a description on the death screen or something. You should also be allowed to read the perk descriptions before you unlock them. I didn't even know why the hell I was dying until I unlocked Final Vengeance. I thought I was just getting hit with some killer ground pound from another assault.hiverbon said:
Once I was aware of what was going on though, I had no problem with it. Any time I kill an assault player next to me now, I run for a split second and then dodge away from their corpse.

Maybe I just love CTF too much
They absolutely should.

I was happy about it. I was preparing myself to die about 10 or 15 times, and then I was like "woo hoo, fuckin bitch, didn't want none!"

About to start Space Marine! Psyched!
Yup, my Night Lords are pretty much the same, except I used pattern colours to fade out the legs a bit (Regal Blue), and Enchanted Blue pattern on the right shoulder as some kind of fake lightning.
Ah, and Alpha Legion Blue pattern on backpack, because...well, it's shiny and really the only thing that stands out.

Haven't touched MP yet but having a ton of fun with the SP. I just love wading into a sea of Orks and just going crazy with the melees and stun/executions.

Yeah, sorry there's no Night Lords or Thousand Sons in the Warband list - couldn't be helped. But the badges are there
Disclosure: I set up the presets / badges.

Sweet. Great job on the game man, the multiplayer customizer is probably my favorite part. Wish I could carry it over into the single-player.
Even if my Space Wolves marine keeps jabbering about Ultramarine beliefs.
Are you at Relic, in Vancouver?

Why? I figured they were not in there simply because the proper helmets for both warbands would have required more....everything.
Edit: Oh and another thing, if you would have included that standard Eagle head badge, players could have designed White Consuls, Mentors and even Black Consuls with just that single inclusion, I though that was odd. I know that White Consuls and Mentors are pretty popular.

They have their own gene seed and everything, they are their own chapter. It's not like being selected for the Death Watch or something like that. Relic stays on the source materiel pretty well.
Would it be cool to see them or fight with them, yes.

Debating on getting this or Gears 3. I really liked the first two Gears games but I have less and less tolerance for a shooter on a controller.
So will Space Marine on PC scratch my Gears itch?

It's still got a few problems though, and I hope Relic will fix them (with patches or if possible, some kind of background fix).Unity2012 said:
Some matches Seize Ground matches get stuck and lose the timer and progress (which, strangely enough, makes for the best endless matches to get Grudge kills with - they're stupid impossible otherwise). And I just had to quit out of a match because host migration got stuck for 5 minutes.
And the perfect fix would be an all-around change to the netcode so hit detection isn't so flaky. Halo has spoiled me when it comes to P2P connections.

Reading this thread I literally cannot believe people play Seize Ground with randoms...I tired it LOLd quit match when my team was down 600-100 and I was the only one with captures and never went back.

I have won matches single-handedly by capping points...and I'm terrible at online games.
Looking forward to some GAF matches this week.

PC multiplayer is a bit spotty at the moment (from what I hear, though sometimes people say it is fine), seems to work great on 360 though.
I haven't noticed anything too egregious on 360, other than sometimes have devastator rounds follow me through walls, lol. Mostly it seems pretty spot on, but not Halo
Anerythristic said:
I have had it go both ways, I had one match where the opposing team just shot over to our side and spawn camped us and won 1000 - 0. I have also had matches that were really close, just luck of the draw. Same thing in Annihilation, wish my friends were playing multiplayer.
I think Gears 3 is going to be great, but if you want a third person action game on the PC? Yeah, Space Marine is the one to get. Do not expect gears-like gameplay, though. The perspective is all those two games share.chixdiggit said:
ninja edit: The multiplayer in Gears 3 is clearly going to be better. Dedicated servers, coop, lot's of game types.

Sounds like I'll keep my Gears pre-order. I'll still pick this up when I get paid.derFeef said:
