[Bunta]

Damn Exterminatus is intense!

Damn Exterminatus is intense!

It is especially difficult when you are on your own! I played it last night with 3 other people and it was relatively easy, was going for about 45 minutes when I had to purposely do foolish things to die so I could go to bed. would be interesting to see how much worse it got when I have the time to play it until I die for real!

Does any one play this on PS3? I am looking for some reliable team mates for exterminatus!

I have developed a new found respect for the Plasma Cannon.

We were on the last couple of waves of the escape mission and every team member kept getting overwhelmed with orks, but they started to realise that all they had to do was keep them all off me and i could hose them all off with the charged shot.

It is so satisfying to see an entire horde just disappear under the bright blue flash

Me too, Its all I have been rocking lately, even if you get ganged up on just STOMP then run off charging your cannon then hit your persuers in the face with that lovely blue ball. The plasma gun is very good too if you are running tactical.

Is there any benefit for single player campaign to getting the expansion? EG More missions?

nope, the latests DLC was all about adding exterminatus mode as far as I am aware.

Ok thanks!

So who else is hating the new update to multiplayer?

Tactical marines are now worthless and assault are nearly unstoppable....

Before i could easily take out an assault marine if i saw him soon enough, i would pump a few bolter rounds into his head, then drop a grenade at my feet and roll away then shoot him as he lands, easy.

Now i have half as many grenades to use, which take twice as long to throw and if you roll backwards you are essentially frozen on the spot for about half a second as you watch the chainsword swing towards your head.

I even get the added bonus of watching an assault marine run towards me for a good 10 seconds as i pump bolter rounds into him, only for him to get into close quarters and cut me to pieces in 2 swings of his chainsword.

Until they fix this bullshit, i'm not going to bother playing any more.

what new update?

[Chappy]

They have changed the rules for multiplayer.

All people now start win 1 grenade instead of 2. Favour of the armory gives you 2 instead of 4.

It takes longer to throw a grenade and there is more of a pause between when a tactical marine rolls and when they are allowed to do anything (shoot, throw grenade, roll again etc).

I could also swear that they have made assault marines tougher.

And i have noticed significantly more lag in games since the update.

thats bad, I had horrific lag as it was. Completed level 20 of exterminatus yesterday....only to get swamped my Chaos Space Marines, I really thought I had finished and was not at all ready!

I've given up on multiplayer and gone back to play the campaign again.

Multiplayer just pisses me off now.
