i have maxed out all the classes for coop. hoping they could add more like psyker types going forward will be a blast
So many people want Battlefront/Battlefield 40k. I don't think Space Marine 2 will turn into that, but you can totally see it happening. I just think with the relatively small amount of content it has they'll never get there. I'd love to be proven wrong though.

Shame they can't let you customize the actual faces of the space marines. Salamanders are my fav Chapter. Not being able to make them all black dudes with red eyes means I gotta leave their helms on.

Into the fires of battle, unto the Anvil of War!

Haha, I didn’t know there was an entire chapter of black dudes with red eyes. I know where Brahma Brahma belongs in 40k now.

Call me soft. But now that ive gotten a chance to play more heavily. I want to say how happy I am despite some of the signs there might be a high risk of woke-itude, this is the best 40k game in a long time imo. Plenty of mixed race/gender stuff but all in very appropriate for the setting type stuff.

I was worried you'd still have some kind of dialogue that was showing political colors but that's all stayed true to cannon as well. Mechanicus are so suitably unerving, the server room had me kinda laugh when I went in and realized what it was.

i've been addictively playing the Operations missions. Even though it's repetitive with so few maps, upping the difficulty makes it enjoyable after so many runs.

I like the actual grind to level up your weapons and to get visual upgrades to your armor. The skins are really cool and give off the whole bad-ass veteran feel as you finish more missions.

Can't wait for more maps and this future horde mode.

Salamanders are more like Drow, then African Black.

"best 40k game in a long time."
did you play dark tide, rogue trader, mechanicus, or inquisitor?

Dark Tide was trash that took tons of post-launch work to become a decent game, Mechanicus is good but not great, haven't played Inquisitor but never heard anything better than 'mediocre 40K themed arpg'

Those are all trash to mediocre, I think Rogue trader is mainly only good due to nailing atmosphere and art etc, it's otherwise a clunky broken mess.

Melee changes look cool, may have to jump back into this on the old assault
Jumped on this morning very quickly - tried the new block mechanic, couldn't get it to work (might need more testing on my end) and was getting pwned on my assault class with the thunder hammer.

Looks good.

Have they given a roadmap for introducing any major content?

Ex: new locales, new campaign, new enemy types ex: orks

No, next big thing is a horde mode sometime next year?

DLC skins will be Raven Guard next season and followed by Salamanders (Oh yeah!).

The Dark Angel ones are pretty cool, they just need to add more helmet and full on face customizations!

Also, anyone experiencing stuttering when there's a lot of activity on screen? It's so bad it affects my actions - I end up jumping backwards when I want to go foward. It wasn't so bad prior to 5.0

Got this for free, (tried) to give one away with no luck. Just started it tonight. I know next to nothing about Warhammer but WOW is this intense! Smooth as butter too on my 7800X3D & 7900XTX.

Damn shame I could not give the other code away. Sadly it's expired.

So I figured out parry on Bulwark is messed up (I play with Keyboard and mouse).

Even with a fencing sword, only way to parry is to press both parry and attack buttons at once when blue attack is incoming.

That's messed up - I wonder if this new patch made that intentional? I haven't read anywhere else that is what people need to do.

So is the entire game just killing swarms of bugs? It's intense and fun but it does get monotonous after a while.

Also I looked at the DLC to see what was there. Am I seeing it right that they are charging real world dollars to play dress up with your digital man? Didn't we all make fun of Barbie and The Sims for the same shit back in the day?

EDIT: if it's not blatantly apparent, I know fuck all about WH40K.
