W40k: Space Marine, aka GoW

[Mangoose]

Imperial Fists are about as vanilla. Would be a much better for the core codex.

I miss Guilliiman to be honest. He's supposed to be the master strategist. But without him, apparently, Ultramarines are the most tactically and strategically uninteresting. Instead of interesting things like:

Marketing department probably statistically determined that blue is the most consumer-pleasing color.

I first came into contact with WH 40K through StarQuest. Liked the red models of the Blood Angels best.
Later I was into Dark Angels (emo fag detected?).
Never really cared much about the Ultras myself and in the local Tabletop shop no one ever fielded an Ultra army as far as I remember.
There were some discussions though why GW never favored other chapters/races - mainly of course the chapters/races the local players used to play - but that lead to nothing particular only some good old fashioned nerd rage bitching

The Blood Ravens have come to steal the Titan.

@MegaShizer I believe their primary objective was to retrieve the gift that Foreworld Graia has gratiously given to the chapter.

I'm having quite the fucked-up audio-stuttering when there are loads of characters on screen. I've tried what other people suggested, installed the latest Leadtek driver and set the priority to high, but it didn't do that much to solve my problem.
I haven't tried updating my graphics driver though, because I didn't think it'd help me at all.
Anyone got some help to offer?

There was a thread stickied in the official forums saying that uninstalling the Visual C++ 2005 redist but I dunno if that really works. What are your computer specs?

One of the good things about wh40k (and that Relic took advantage of in DoW) is that for any faction there are countless different groups, so you can make your own one up. There are thousands of space marine chapters, imperial guard planets, eldar craftworlds, ork clans etc. There really isn't a need to use a recognisable colour scheme for a space marine, they are extremely distinctive anyway.

I've tried uninstalling the 2005+ 2008 redist, but they didnt do the trick, if anything they worsened the stuttering to its initial form.

EDIT: after rebooting and setting the priority again to high, it seems like the stuttering lowered quite a bit, but it's still there, noticeable.

Timeless classic.

No love for Salamanders and White Scars ?

I was always a Black Templars kind of guy. Until I decided to make my own chapter.

Unlocked the Corvus armour at last. Now I got a beakie marine!

My advice for anyone who hasn't got the game yet is to buy it if you're interested in a good deathmatch multiplayer game. If you're looking for a single player game don't fucking bother.

<3 Raven Guard.

But as of last night <3 their progeny, Raptors, even more.

 

[Mangoose]

Eh? Turn off mouth smoothing and it controls fine.

I myself haven't had much problem with lag or the P2P (would still love dedicated servers...) but yeah there are problems for others.

 

[Mangoose]

Turn up your mouse sensitivity?

If you mean the movement - yeah, I noticed that there is some inertia to movement. You can't make tiny adjustments easily. On the other hand I think it's "console" movement" and more that Relic wanted you to feel "heavy."

I guess.

 

[Mangoose]

Yeah, I agree.

On the other hand, you are pretty maneuverable in this game, unless you're a Devastator, but even then you can sprint indefinitely.

 

[Deleted member 7219]

I thought the controls were fine. Disable mouse smoothing, turn off aiming assistance, increase mouse sensitivity to 70.

Eh? I dislike the multiplayer but I'm really enjoying the singleplayer so far. But considering you recommended I get Wizardry 8 and I ended up really hating it, I'm not surprised you think differently on this.

 

[Gragt]

If you're interested in both decent single and multiplayer, it's worth checking out. The whole thing is formulaic but fun.

Yeah, I'd play multi with the pad too if i didn't need the precision of the mouse. Kinda wish there was an option for "pad only" games.

Agreed. SP gets boring pretty fast.

 

[Gragt]

I guess I'll do another playthrough soon. Need to do it seven times.

 

[Mangoose]

I guess... Try the demo. If you want to play 8-10 hours of that then buy it.

Also come back in a few weeks and we'll tell you how the co-op mode is.
