I love the hammer guys, they are soooo bad. Takes them an eternity to swing whilst getting shot in the face and it's usually such a trash class - jump down try 1 hit kills, die and then explode jetpack.

I pretty much like all the weapons. Now that I know the maps I can choose my classes accordingly, although Assault seems pretty good for all of them.

If only there were more maps. I think a two point map would be pretty sweet, being equidistant from each spawn so there's constant fighting between the two.

lol i laugh my ass off when i see the hammer guys with the one hit perk. they cant even land a hit so what good is a one hit perk

Actually, the hammer 1 hit kills everyone except heavies with either A) iron halo or B) feel no pain... so picking Killing Blow makes the class specialized at killing those specifically... total waste to me...

Consider that the perk for Death from Above doubles the slam damage from dealing 2/3 shield, to dealing full shield and 1/3 hp... also consider that
Hammer takes 1 hit to kill
Axe takes 2 hits to kill
and sword takes 3 hits to kill
(unless perks are involved)
therefor, the death from above perk leaves nearly every class vulnerable to a "1 hit kill"

Personally, the melee weapon doesn't actually matter because the best combo is Death from Above + Charge, because the damage from both can kill...

When forced to pick a weapon, I suggest the chain sword or power sword because it enables you to change direction and react faster to a dodging enemy... just my two cents

Of course, if your not confident, then Final Vengeance + Swordsman Zeal is probably the best way to go, and throw in some combat stims for health and damage resistance...

I'm enjoying this game quite a bit. The swordman's zeal and Impenetrable is pretty sweet and lets you stay in the fights much longer, more or less as long as you have people in stabbing range(or some one has a melta gun or plasma cannon).

The tactical is my second favorite, get the duel weapon perk and the plasma rifle and stalker bolter is pretty versatile

haha yup that too, it is a total waste but they always tell me they are killing havocs for me haha

btw great info. did you test the damage and stuff yourself? I never knew death from above did that much damage. really amazing, will have to do some of my own testing.

ooo as an assault/raptor only player, do you suggest using combat stims instead of frags? the combat stims seem to have an animation and you cannot shoot during that time, are you not vulnerable to die? I feel like they leave you vulnerable to get shot at while you are stimmed.

I prefer blind grenades on assault. It's no trouble picking off stragglers but when it comes to well placed Devi man or multiple enemies on a point, I find that a good old blind grenade with a timed jump (blind grenades take a little longer to go off than a frag) means that you can cut down one defender and jump away safely or get the other dude.

I also have blind grenades on my melta class. I have my melta charge and serrated blade on him so if I whiff the melta then I can just stab 'em up. The blind grenades are so perfect for that class and I've started using the melta Gears of War-shotgun style, roll into them and MELTAS BABY.

It's hard trying to choose which class to play now. I used to have my standard plasma gun/sbolter but I hardly use it now :[

[TL]yurten and I spent the evening trying to make Voltron style armors for our marines, this is What I came up with so far, but he's gone with more traditional approaches:

The origonal:

My Space Marine:

My Chaos Marine:

Well, that's attempt one... probably needs some tweaking :D

Same man!

And here's my Voltron Marine, followed by the Chaos version.
+ Show Spoiler +

So, on my first day I used almost only the Stalker bolter ... took yesterday off from using it (trying to get perks for other guns lol).
I think I've lost my touch (not that I'm very good anyway).

Also, I'm running Teleport homer on just about all my Tactical loadouts, but people so rarely use it ... le sigh.

After playing some group games with friends i have to say devestators are really really powerful on some maps. Basically every 3 point map except manufactorum you can win games ezpz by just locking down the middle with heavies + plasmas cannon.

Assault marines are REALLY good on basilica thou, not so good on other maps.

Also is there really any kind of matchmaking whatsoever in this game? Half the time we would wind up with 2-3 people on the other team, and most of the time we (all lvl 30+) would be going up against a team of lvl 1-15s, and

I just picked this game up, played it for the first time last night, and I must say Assault Marines are SICK good when it comes to capture points.

I think most people just don't know how to play them and I am often finding myself as the only one or one of two on my team (usually the only useful one either way).

Anyway, Assault marines offer a lot of great things like back-capping points, suicide bombing points to clear out a hardened area, and really annoying point defense.

In a good skirmish, I can open for my team by dropping 2 frag grenades on a point, ground pounding a random Devastator with a quick follow up, and start off a fight with 2-4 kills while the rest of my team is still getting in position.

Tactical Marines are definitely my least favorite option, but I think that has to do with being low-level and not having a lot of options as far as weapons/perks.

It would be awesome if Relic would release a multiplayer demo so I could show some friends how much fun this is. Just one map (Shattered Bridge or Hab Center plz) and no or minimal unlocks available.

On a sidenote, how the fuck are you supposed to get the Armor of Hate set? That's the one where you need a certain amount of "Grudge Kills" for, those being "Kill the same enemy five times in one game." They either wanted to implement something that you have to wait months until you unlocked it to keep you "motivated" or they're just trolling. I mean they practically encourage you to farm it in private games. How many grudge kills do you have?

I wasn't even aware what Grudge kills were.That definitely sounds like the hardest set to acquire, but most Seize Ground games last long enough to have a chance at getting one.

Wouldn't mind seeing them reduce the numbers of "Grudge Kills" for the set though.

I have 15 at the time of me posting this (level 24).

That's right, I probably play too much Annihilation lately. I like Seize Ground more, but I rage too much at stupid teammates in this mode.^^
Add me in Steam if you want, my name is chocopaw there as well. I also posted in the steamgroup. The timezones might be a problem though, I'm CET.

Found a hacker tonight, chocopaw and yurten were present. This guy called spice and flow was immune to damage. Melta gun to the face with the health scan perk and he was taking 0 damage while spawncamping and shooting people from point blank range.

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Shrais/ link to the guy's profile. Reporting him is pretty much all we can do.

Thx for playing guys! My steam made some problems, but other than that I had fun (even in the rounds where we got our ass handed to us :D).

Patch incoming:

http://www.spacemarine.com/forums/topic/5993

Full patchnotes:
+ Show Spoiler +

PS3 Matchmaking Issues:
We have completed testing on the patch and have submitted to Sony. We are doing everything we can to get this patch released on PSN as soon as possible.

PS3 NAT Issues:
This is a UI bug and is not something that is affecting your online performance. We have a fix coming to resolve this improperly reported error in the upcoming patch.

Multiplayer & Singleplayer Progression Reset:
Make sure to enable Steam's Cloud Option on your system to allow your rank to keep tracking. We understand the Challenges are still not tracking properly and have a patch in the works to address the issue.

Steps to turn on Steam Cloud:

1.) Open Steam
2.) Click the Steam Option int he upper Left
3.) Select "Downloads + Cloud"
4.) Click the Box labeled "Enable Steam Cloud"

Against All Odds" Progression Issue [PC]:
We are aware of issues players are seeing with this level. A lot of the issues seem to steem from systems that do not meet minimum specs requirements, But we are also getting reports from users who exceed those requirements. We are looking into this issue and are trying to nail down the problem. if you are seeing this issue, feel free to post your Dxdiag report here: http://www.spacemarine.com/forums/topic/4110 - Also when posting on the forums please avoid using Internet Explorer as it forces the text into a massive wall of content.

Mic Always On PC Issue:
We are implementing a "Mute All" button in the upcoming patch. This will also disable the audio data traffic to allow better ping rates while playing. Currently muting players in the lobby will also allow you to obtain better ping rates as it disables the signal of those audio feeds.

Iron Halo / Shield Boost:
During the campaign a few users have noticed the graphical glow and change in visuals on the Iron Halo might disappear after saving the game and returning. Our team is aware of the issue and is working out a fix for this. The actual shield boost is still present and you still benefit from the boost, but the graphics are not displaying properly.

Achievement Unlocks:
We are aware of a handful of achievements that are not unlocking properly. We are looking into these issues and should have an update soon.

- Master Crafted: See Here: http://www.spacemarine.com/forums/topic/5991
- None Can Stand Before You - We are looking into why this is not unlocking for some users.

Pre-order Skins Not Showing Up / Working:
Steam Skins are now showing up within the Customizer. In regards to BestBuy & GameStop codes, you need to redeem those with the code they provide you. Both Console and PC users who purchase the retail copy of the game (In a Local store or online) should be provided a redeem code for their skins. We have verified all retailers have gotten delivery of their codes and should have them for you at the local stores or their online support numbers.

Graphic Issues & Flickering:
Please review this thread: http://www.spacemarine.com/forums/topic/4685

Matchmaking on PC:
The main PC Matchmaking issues have been addressed. We are also in the works to provide an update to allow the system to run even smoother across the board. We plan to release this update in the upcoming PC patch.

Matchmaking on Xbox 360:
We will be applying the same patch to enhance the functions of Matchmaking on Xbox 360.

Devastator Heavy Bolter Glitch:
We are aware of the glitch and it will be patched in the upcoming PC patch.

Veteran Helmet Unlock:
We are aware of the helmet unlocking prematurely and have address this issue on all 3 platforms.

Killing Blow - Thunderhammer & Maul
Many users have been talking about the "Killing Blow" and how it is not always a one shot kill. Well it won't always be... Why you ask? Space Marine takes in consideration of glancing hits, so you might think your hit was perfect, but if you're not straight on with the enemy it will calculate as a glancing blow and do secondary damage.

PC Sound & Lag Issues:
We are very much aware of the issues the community has repeorted in regards to lag, sound stuttering and overall sound issues. We are still working to reproduce these errors within all our QA facilities. Most of these issues have been resolved with some simple driver updates, but we are also aware that some users are not having success with new drivers.

Loadout Issues:
We are aware of a bug that has been forcing Assault selections to be Tactical selections. We are working to address this issue.

Mic Always On PC Issue:
We are implementing a "Mute All" button in the upcoming patch. This will also disable the audio data traffic to allow better ping rates while playing. Currently muting players in the lobby will also allow you to obtain better ping rates as it disables the signal of those audio feeds.

Is there any way to solve this issue with the mic in multiplayer? That's incredibly annoying.

So we're trying to get some IH games done, both for fun and to test stuff/farm achievements. If anyone knows how to set up events on steam groups that'd be great.
