Hey /v/
Is anyone still playing this game?
Anyone?
>>319296834
I tried multiplayer only a couple of times, it wasn't my cup of tea.
>still playing
>short singleplayer
>shit multiplayer.
Its good for a once through for the story, but thats it.
fucking loved the multi, but shit-tier netcode and matchmaking. even getting static groups of people in the same area is a fucking mess.
shame I'll not likely see anything like this again, outside jew-city/broken-promise-land Eternal Crusade
>game gets released
>pretty decent number of people keep playing it
>then the playerbase gets divided with DLC mappack bullshit because those without the maps can't participate in matches that have them
>then the Dreadnought DLC gets released, thus splitting apart the already split playerbase again
FUCKING RELIC RETARDS
Also, holy fuck, I hate that Night Lords were excluded for some reason from the official CSM list in the game, but at least you could make them on your own.
>>319297334
>shit multiplayer
nope
>>319296834
Multiplayer was boring.
Singleplayer wasn't varied enough.
Had great potential for a sequel though.
>>319296834
Level 41(max rank) here
The community on 360 has been steady since it came out. There's usually at least two lobbies of seize ground going and several lobbies of exterminatus.
>>319296834
I was 1 of the first to reach max rank in multiplayer and from my exp the game was very fun but also very unbalanced.
Meltagun 1 shoots people at close range, so you would wait behind corners and 1 shoot people who come and cant see you but you can see them in forward coming towards you.
>>319296834
Yes. It was casual shit. Gameplay was boring. If you have any grasp of the 40k universe you'll be pissed at all the stupid shit they pulled.
>>319298659
>pissed at all the stupid shit they pulled
Like what?
>>319298907
If I had to venture a guess, I'm thinking he's referring to melta-guns being like shotguns, which makes no fucking sense, and the main character discarding jump-packs like they were candy and not actually unbelievably valuable and revered relics.
>>319299086
I thought most jump packs were mass produced?
The Thunder hammers and other weapons on the other hand, yeah I can see that. But you can't expect them to not give the player any freedom.
This shit was fun.
>>319299086
also orks werent orky, and the protagonist disregarded codex astartes, a fucking ultramarine captain no less
>>319296834
I have a copy for PS3 I bought at Target for $5. It's still sealed and every few months I glance at it.
>>319300002
Well, it did kinda tie into the story what with him being maybe a conduit or whatever for Chaos/Warp energy.
>>319300002
>the protagonist disregarded codex astartes, a fucking ultramarine captain no less
Actually he was true to what Guilliman wanted.
‘But your teachings…’ ‘Are yet flawed,’ said Guilliman. ‘No one, not even one such as I, can anticipate every possible outcome of battle. My words are not some holy writ that must be obeyed. There must always be room for personal initiative on the battlefield. You and I both know how one spark of heroism can turn the tide of battle. That knowledge and personal experience can only be earned in blood, and the leader in the field must always be the ultimate arbiter of what course of action should be followed.’
-Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines
>>319300002
Yeah and he was constantly hounded by Leandros for failing to comply with the codex and eventually arrested by the inquisition. So isn't that supposed to be how it goes down?
I'm sorta hoping that Eternal Crusade will at least have enjoyable combat, seeing how they seemed to have copy pasted the Spesh Muhreen multiplayer combat straight into their game.
The multiplayer gameplay was fucking glorious in SM, when the p2p system was not fucking you up with lag that is.
Jumping around as a raptor, and tearing loyalists new assholes with my chainsword never got old.

Lets co-op bois
>>319300539
Stormshields for melee are confirmed, so maybe the melee combat will be more interesting in EC than it was in SM.

>>319300002
So? It happens. The Ultramarines aren't mindless drones and the Codex Astartes can be interpreted and reinterpreted in dozens of different ways. The Marines who rise to the rank of Captain are likely going to be the ones clever enough to know how to bend the rules of the Codex without breaking them, to give themselves the most tactical latitude during combat.
>>319300539
It looks a bit better these days.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf2DZ8fNehg
I still ain't dishing out any money until I see some Eldar and Ork gameplay though.
>>319300539
If you like the old look of the Raptors, then you're going to be disappointed like I was when you look at Eternal Crusade. They've modeled the Raptors to look like the ones from the latest rulebooks.
>>319301505
Oh, I know, which sucks, but not as much as the fact that GW stopped making the old style Raptors, and instead replaced them with those new lame as fuck looking niggers.
>>319301631
Just compare these...
>>319301741
...with these.
>>319296834
I bought it during the steam sale. Figure I get around to playing it after Fallout 4... so probably winter 2017.
>>319301928
thanks todd
Really is a glorious game. Online is still active and still fun. Dedicated servers is really all this game needs.
>>319301817
reminds me of what they did to pokemon

niggers, back in my day Raptors looked like this and we liked it
It really is funny how everyone complains how OP the dreadnaught is when the entire enemy team runs at you single file.
>>319302274
Thin your paints senpai.

what's the matter anon? Too badass for you?

>>319296834
No game ever managed to bore me as fast as Space Marine. It takes the most boring parts out of a workable setting and combines them with boring gameplay.
Kinda dead isn't it?
>>319296834
I tried to find some games on Steam a month or two ago, no joy.
>>319300002
Ah the fallacy of "here's a stereotype, anything that goes against it is stupid."
>>319296834
The most mediocre game I've ever played. It's not even actively bad or incompetent at anything, just mediocre.
>>319302652
paints aren't thick enough
>>319300002
>who is Aeonid Theil and Uriel Ventris
Its like you niggers dont even warhammer 40k
>>319304672
Didn't Ventris get sent on a penitent crusade/quest because he didn't follow the CA?
>>319305680
Yeah and Captain Titus got picked up by the Inquisition
>>319306361
Wasn't that more due to the Chaos artifact not having an effect on him?
>>319306442
It was both, I'm pretty sure Leandros said something to the inquisitor about how he broke the codex rules as well didn't he?Been a while since I finished it
>>319306708
Leandros was such a faggot.
Even if Titus broke some rules, he shouldn't have involved the Inquisition. I'm fairly certain he's going to be flogged for that kind of bullshit when word gets back to Ultramar.
>>319306708
And Leandros broke the Codex when he called the Inquisition because it's something that should have been dealt with by the Librarians and the Chaplain of the Chapter.
>>319296834
Nah, I'm playing Eternal Crusade.
Right now it's an alpha and it's really similar to SM, but better in my opinion. I won't deny there is potential, despite I was extremely sceptic few months ago. It probably won't be the game it has been promised to be, but it can still be good.
>>319307079
>the DA don't fight with robes
Disappointed.
>>319306965
>abloobloobloo my Captain isn't following the codex
>better go against the codex and call the inquisition
>>319307387
It's an alpha, all space marines are the same and the graphics are shit.
They will probably get robes and hoods for DA.
>>319307079
Honestly I've lost interest since they absolutely gutted the game. It's basically just a team based arena game now isn't it? And we haven't seen head nor hide of the non power armored factions and the xenos foudner package has been pulled off the website indicating that they probably won't even be in the game on release.
I mean I'm sure it's a fun game, and I was GOING to play Space Marines anyway, but it's just such a disappointment to be promised so much and end up with so little.
Played it to death, got platinum in it. Loved it
>>319307721
We might see something about the eldars before the new year. Not really confirmed though.
Also a dev showed a super small pic of a in game screen with nids as a tease, meaning they started working on their design too
>>319307079
I used to be excited for this, until they reveled its basically planetside 2, 40k edition. I wanted more focus on PVE, traditional quest, npcs such as guardsmen all the while having that Space Marine gameplay. They could have had it where as Space Marines you get a quest, the guard line is under massive ork attack and will collapse any second, drop in via orbital insertion and hold the line. While thats happening ork players can also take part from their side, huge waaagh coming go out there and smash some cunts.
So hordes of NPC orks are duking it out with dug in NPC guardsmen as drop pods slam in dropping in players that then get swarmed by the ork players. So you have objectives, pve, pve, basically an instanced battlefield/public quest, with phases and if one team beats each phase then they win the battle and complete their quest line for that scenario.
Instead its just TDM/CTF with what 50v50? Maybe im wrong, maybe the game will get better. But im not going to throw away money for what is at best a somewhat large scale multiplayer 3rd person action game. No quest, no npcs, no cities, no free exploration, no story other then "there is only war FIGHT!" Whats the fucking point?
>>319308135
Nids are just going to be AI though aren't they?
At this point I would have thought they'd just cut their losses and make the game "Battlefield 40k"
>>319307079
Post Night Lords, faggot.
I heard they got put in the game and I want to see what they look like.
>>319308231
well, to be honest I don't exactly know what the game modes will be.
Right now it's basically battlefield conquest mode, there will be others but I really don't know. The only pve/coop they've talked about for now is against nids. We'll see.
>few months ago
>get the strongest urge to play multiplayer again
>join game
>only people that still play are the regulars who have thousands of hours
>get my shit handed to me
>>319308552
>Get absolutely destroyed by a raptor
>Check his profile because that was suspicious as fuck
>3817 hours played 47 past two weeks
Jesus christ.
>>319308481
>game modes
The issue is there shouldn't be any. There should be an over world and instances some are pure pve or pure pvp others are a mix of both.
From every single thing Iv seen about the game it's looking like your gonna start the game. Click on play and it's going to bring a map up of areas on the planet and their player numbers and you click that and bam that's it. Just like planet side.
Planetside is great it's good fun. But I expect more from a fucking 40k mmo.
Especially considering they've cut the player cap so far down.
Shit man they might as well just rename the game space marine 2 put together a quick 6 hour campaign with Titus and use the mmo build for the multiplayer compartment
>>319308294
>>319307606
Same thing as with the SM, they're the same as the other chaos marines, just different badge and colours. They're not working on the subfaction custom appearances yet
you dumb heretic
>>319310595
