Warhammer 40.000 : Space Marine

Who gives a shit about campaign? The whole thing is porn for Matt Ward. Campaign is faulty in so many ways, that weapon issues is just a minor thing.

Where to start...
1Captain Titus is an Ultramarine captain, yet his behaviour does not reflect that. Caring about Imperial Guard and their casualties? Fuck, all except one Chapter would gladly sacrifice millions of IG units in order to preserve the sacred planetary gun that reflects the might of the Emperor. That one exception is Salamanders and Titus fits 100% as a Salamander Captain, since that is the only chapter that gives a damn about civilians and generally all human beings. The perfect role model of an Ultramarine is that dude that followed Codex Astartes like a slave. He exhibits an Ultramarine behaviour.

We play on a Forgeworld and not a single fucking Techpriest! No Skitarii, no battle servitors... fucking retarded!

Imperial Guards, but not a single Commissar? Right...  ::)

Yeah I skipped past those quirks, although the Audio logs do tell that majority of Techpriests were unaware of Drogan's research and he probably killed them all (the ones that were working for him), from Drogan's audio logs I am sure he was Chaos after the second log, Skitarii were supposedly anihilated by the initial wave of Orks (seriously what the fuck ? a single Skitarii should be able to take out several dozens of orks and not break a sweat I think)

Also according to Audio logs the entire officer branch was wiped out, I have no fucking idea how come a forge world had only a single branch of officers, leaving only a lieutenant in chanrge.

I am also skipping the fact that Titus is a pussy, if it was a Blood Raven Marine (if it was Avitus we would hear some funny jokes from him :D) it would be more like "Hell, who does recruit those guardsmen ? child ? damned assholes cant even stop a single ork" or the likes. Avitus would please us with some serious chatter about them :D

I loved how he was so serious about them XDDD

But I noticed all that the moment I started playing and the only thing that really bothers me is that heavy weapons don't seem that heavy.

BTW Chaos Weapons may be out dated, but they sure are fun to use :D

BTW2 15/20 games I was chaos :P talk about random lol XD

As I said, porn for Matt Ward. Obviously an Ultramarine captain is so godly that heavy weapons don't slow him and he can fire them on the move.

Actually chaos energies make up for weapons being outdated. I would take an ancient bolter blessed by Tzeench over new types any day.

Havoc10K:
I still don't understand why they used the Ultramarines though, sure there are better models for this, but Ultramarines are probably the lamest chapter I have ever seen. Especially since the movie that proved them being rather docile. What titus said to that other marine that wanted to follow the code I did like however. Although as a Captain he should say it a little bit different. Following the codex is a good thing, but in battle, codex not always works, example is Eliphas and his Black Legion, Cyrus wanted to follow the codex about Chaos tactics, but Eliphas is no ordinary Chaos marine, he kept patrols tight which makes up as counter to Space Marines Codex against the Chaos marines. In that case you sometimes have to improvise.

Titus should have said just that, Codex is fine, but sometimes you have to improvise.
If it was Blood Ravens or Space Wolves, the game would have been a shit ton better.


Still, the game in itself as carnage as it is, is awesome.
I'm loving carnage and it was a long time since Warhammer gave us so much blood. Even though DoW2 was awesome, Chaos Rising didn't give as much fun as the original title, and then Retribution hit lowering the challenge to minimum.

AceHigh:
Screw Blood Ravens. A chapter that doesn't know their Primarch and origin, has a Librarian as a chapter master that went Chaos dragging half of the chapter with him and being more paranoid about secrets than even the Eldar.

As for Space Wolves, I would love their conversations:

Captain: *Howls*
Sergeant: Woff, Woff!!!
Captain: Grrrrrrrrr....
Sergeant: *bites the head off the nearest Imperial Guard*
Captain: Woff?

At least the Space Wolves wouldn't give a damn about their resistance to the Warp, because they have a naturally higher resistance to begin with... and they don't like the inquisition, nor any other central command authority. Also Space wolves are one of the strongest Space Marines Chapters, so I imagine they would kick more ass than puny Ultramarines.
