So which chapter is the Space Jews? Word Bearers?
Click to expand...
Are we talking the humorless money-grubbing Jews in the West, the humorless "Kill them all and let their god sort them out" Jews in Israel, or the less stereotypical Jews in Israel that toe the line of what's acceptable without actually crossing it?

For the first its probably the Ultramarines, given their fondness for making sure every single damn bolter shell and half-eaten ration pack is accounted for on the inventory sheets. As to the second, you've got the Fire Hawks, whose original heraldry when first introduced was a mushroom cloud, their Chapter motto being "Nothing Left Alive". For the third, hmm... probably the Black Templars, given that they do whatever the fuck they want and if anyone starts asking about why they seem to be well above the maximum strength for a Chapter just point to where the Codex Astartes says that Chapters on a Crusade are exempt and that their whole Chapter is on Crusade. Of course, they've never not been on Crusade ever since they were created in the Second Founding, but the Codex Astartes didn't specify a maximum duration for Crusades, now did it?

The Shekel Counters. Their geneseed is mutated so they can sniff out gold. Their armour is white with blue decor.

How else do you think the Imperium has enough gold to bling everything?

Like I said... Ultramarines.

The official image is still heavy on the bling.

And an even older piece of official art. Note the paperwork in his hand.

The Adeptus Accountus? The Lions of Judah?

Their Chapter Master is one Samson Noseblatt, aka the "Hebrew Hammer". He wields a great meltagun named the Jericho (which has the secondary effect of imposing its victims' unpaid debts upon their descendants to a thousand generations), and a warhammer called Goyim's Bane.

Their favored Exterminatus method is a barrage of Jewish Space Lasers called the Shoah. Their Psyker navigators can split a corridor of Realspace through the Warp. Their Chapter serfs are constantly bickering and splitting hairs with Gulliman on the minutia of the Codex Astartes.

After being expelled from 109 star systems, they are on a quest to regain total control of their homeworld of Zion-48 from the abhumans known as Sand Mon'keighs.

And woe to the planet that fails to pay its tithes on time.

I’m quite interested to see how they adjust future plans based upon these sales. I’m sure we’ll definitely get more support than they planned, but the extent will be interesting.

In addition to the obvious wishes of more PVE missions and expansions to the PvP, I hope we see an overhaul of the character customization at some point.
 
Loving the game so far, can't remember the last time a game gave me a good adrenaline rush, will try operations now and see how I fare. Really curious to what the planned new class would be, maybe Chaplain? I dunno
 
Chaplain has the model already in game. Apothecary is a safe bet as the game needs heals.

I wish GW didn't release the shemale custodes, from a developer perspective I would have liked to see how mqny players can buy the game without that pr turd making waves just as the game got released.

Gw being GW and always rolling natural 20 on self sabotage checks, we don't have that. And Ubisoft isn't releasing Star Wars: Outslop numbers, but I am still curious how it would have fared square and fair in the market.

Alpha Legion, without a doubt. Their gay ops are eternal

The inquisition has investigated this claim and it’s false. In fact we find Alpha Legion to be the best, toughest, and most cunning of all heretic legions. Everything they do go just as planned even if they didn’t plan it, but it was successful nevertheless

I play medic in most games that have them, I just hope the apothecary isn’t just healing and gets combat stimms.

I would say the Ultramarines. Adherence to a book that is foundational to the modern Imperium. Influential throughout the Imperium due to many successor chapters being spread across the galaxy. Have been severely damaged over the years but always comes back. Effectively “occupies” governments in the Ultramar sub-sector.

Tactical all day. Currently level 8. My auspex pared with a good heavy or assault is just too easy.

What's your opinion on using the melta rifle + combat knife? I've been able to stunlock most enemies with a grapple kick + metla blast + quick melee combo.

One thing that Saber has to add is an endless wave mode. That'd be really fun.

I don't know. Maybe yes, maybe not. In the book "Traitor" they mention that the Ultramarines and World Eaters are the legions (I think the only ones) with the greatest skin diversity because they come from different planets, the other legions have a dominant tone depending on the conditions of their planet, (that was what I understood)

You gotta figure that the Fleet based Chapters are just a diversity board of mystery meat through and through.
 
Space Marine 2 is fun, but it has some serious balancing issues. I'd say the vast majority of issues could be solved by tweaking numbers. My biggest Complaints are:
  • Tzaangors (minor chaos mobs with shields) are fucking ridiculous. I've emptied dual-meltas in their fucking faces and they just eat it up because they're olding an old pot lid that's apparently stronger than carnifex armor gilded in auramite, I've spammed stun attacks, I've chucked grenades, I've hammered them, nothing seems to work unless they feel like it. I'd rather have every single tzaangor replaced with a fucking helbrute at this point.
  • Warriors seem to get hyperarmor whenever the fuck they feel like it and can not be stunned or parried sometimes. I've tested it by parrying them 1v1 and sometimes the marine does the parry animation and I succeed in parrying them 3 times and nothing happens after that. They just do another combo or skitter off. They are also way too fucking tanky on higher difficulties when the game likes to throw 8-12 at a time in your face. Especially the snipers who have no reason to be so tanky when it's a fucking ranged enemy.
  • The temp/contested HP is basically worthless unless you're using a melta. It should last at least 3x as long as it does. You often don't even have time to get out of the stun animation before it's completely gone.
  • Difficulty is just more bulletspongey enemies with less supplies (ammo, health, relics, grenades) available, so it turns into a slog as you're thrown into a boss fight after an elevator and there's no ammo anywhere. You progress in the game to get better weapons, so the higher difficulties feel like lower difficulties because the only really significant change is enemy health.
  • "hold to interact" is gay and retarded. This shouldn't be a thing in gameplay, and especially not when you have to hold a button to OPEN an armor set's cosmetic menu.
  • Bolters suck fucking nigger dick. They are beyond worthless. They have low damage, super high damage drop-off (it's a bolter, why is this a thing) and they're not worth using ever.
Also, not related to the game specifically, but more the fandom in general:
Why do Dark Angel fans love to pretend like there are no other Dark Angel fans out there? Everywhere I go for 40k stuff, I see some faggot meandering about how there are no other Dark Angel fans out there and how he stunningly and bravely wants to show off his gay marine in a world that is totally oppressing Dark Angels, but then the entire forum/subreddit is full of Dark Angel "fashion", circlejerks and similar posts crying about how there are no fans of the Dark Angels. They feel more shoved down my throat than Ultramarines at this point.
Is it some sort of autistic RP or am I missing a joke or something?

I hear the melta rifle is broken, I'm still using a base bolter. I'll have to try that build.

I have a mixed feelings about SM2. On one hand I feel like I can't get into the flow of combat because the damn mooks keep jumping into me and ruining my flow. But on the other hand I played enough boss centred games that gives you the illusion of skill for a glorified QTE, and having instead shitload of mooks doing their best to ruin my day is pretty fun by itself, especially as they will absolutely grief you with flanking and suppressive fire.

dash + melee into pistol execution on hordes didnt click with me till a couple hours but once you get a grip on it things improve dramatically

As a Jew I'm offended no one said Blood Ravens:
* Ancestral origins are a hotly debated mystery.
* Steal everything.
* More big brain people than the average.
* Fuck over each other.
* Fuck the natives of worlds under their jurisdiction even harder.
Click to expand...
I almost said Blood Ravens, but the Minotaurs are Jews to the Space Marines as opposed to just stealing shit.
 
Idea for a 40k game:

Make it like battefront but with 40k factions. I would kill to play as a guardsman and then the heroes would be "insert space marine" and you just wreck shit. Same with the other factions. Honestly im surprised they havent even considered the idea.
 
Remember back in the days in gaming when you enter a boss fight and you suddenly loses everything you have prior and is given default options? Well it's back when you tries to fight Imurah the Nerd. I have a Las Fusil and Power Sword from last section so LET ME FUCKING USE IT! Stop giving me auto bolter and chain sword just to make it harder than it actually is.

Biggest problem with this idea is the team partitioning and balancing.
If we go by the current power scaling in 40K, you'll need at least a 64 players lobby for a 32/32 guards vs heretic guards game. Guards vs Tyranids means that players on the Tyranid side can only play Warrior and similar class because no one will want to play as fodder Hormagaunts to just go in and die in a couple seconds, so 12/52 split in favor of guards and give Tyranid team AI controlled hormagaunt/termagant mix horde make more sense. Space Marine vs Tyranids can work in 32/32 or 40/24 depending how they balance it based on Guards vs Tyranid game.
And that's just player slots distributed between factions in a game. GW has been historically bad at balancing factions and if the developers decide to follow that then there's little hope for an actual fun game to play.
Personally I think it is not going to happen, too much work for very little gain for most studios. However, Concord existed and that one burnt 200 million for 2 weeks lifespan so I wouldn't totally count it out yet.
