Hahahahah I have a head in a shrink mould as we speak as the next marine in Captain Titus gonna go all out on him..... Just wish I had the Space Marine game gggrrr
You'd love it Mark, it's a blast!! Carving up Orks with a chainsword the first time is a "WTF?? This is cool!" type blast! Then it just gets better and better and better.
I just started playing it online, two modes- Annilation which is Team Deathmatch - and capture areas and try to hold them, forget what it's called. It's like "HQ" from Call of Duty.
Once you reach Level 4, you unlock the Customizer and can change your Marine's Chapter from Ultramarines to a variety of Chapters. Of course, mine is...Spaccccce Wolves!
It's been a learning curve, not much luck as an Assault Marine, though the Jumppack is awesome.Start with Chainsword, unlock the rest as you level. Tactical Marine, I've had moderate success wielding the Bolter or Plasma Gun. Most fun I've had is the Devastator- Braced and blasting away with the Heavy Bolter is waaaaaay cool! I'm not used to being a "support character", but it's fun as hell. Just unlocked the Lascannon, that's really cool. Especially when the Assault Marines land, charge ya, and you blast 'em in the face, ace!
Admittedly, not quite as fun as when they slobberknocker you with a Thunder Hammer...
What's cool is when you get waxed, you can copy the gear of the guy who waxed ya- so you can try all the higher level weapons, perks, etc.
Unlocking different versions of armor is a blast, from pre-Heresy, to Relic or Runic armor (I forget which it's called.) Mine's wearing either Veteran or Battle-Damaged armor-
