The enemy can't foil your plan if you never had one to begin with.

It looks good, I'll probably buy it. Its looks like a blend of Warhammer 40k Spacehulk Deathwing and Space Marine. Spacehulk as good, it could have been great with some gameplay changes, the "horde rush" should have been used less and it should have had a better story.

Apparently, they've since remedied that, but from every review & gameplay video I've seen, it looks very repetitive & seems grindy over time. The concept is great, but I wish there was more depth & variety there. |

Yeah, instabuy from me. I've just started to get into the 40K universe, mainly reading some of the lore books on Audible. BTW, if you haven't played Warhammer Boltgun yet, it's a fantastic boomer shooter: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2005010/Warhammer_40000_Boltgun/  Warhammer 40k: Boltgun Is Ridiculously Good The best way I can describe it would be Brutal Doom in the 40K universe, but mostly just a good Brutal Doom |

Going to pick it up. And definitely play Boltgun if you like that genre. Don't forget to insult the heretics as you slay them.  Space Marine Taunting For 10 Minutes | All Voicelines | 40k: Boltgun |

Best experience if you "farm" level up & get access to perks (I can show you how to do this). Exterminatus (Horde) mode is fun, though the dev choice to buff the shooter classes using shoot-at-you-backwards-&-hit-you-from-across-the-map accuracy (No joke on highest difficulty) gets annoying sometimes. Take those guys out ASAP. But it's fun when you get with a good group that knows their stuff. Lasecannons are awesome. |
| So the 11/7 release date was a bogus report. Looks like it won't make it until next year. I did find this report detailing the gameplay mechanics & controls, though. |

Actually, all the early "beta" reviewers have praised it, but they all say it needs polishing, specifically to address framerate dips when things get busy. |

Being a dev myself with "announced" deadlines that I/we couldn't hit is almost never the developer's fault, but the producers or project managers coming up with a date that satisfies stakeholders. |

Pretty sure 10 months is for more than "polish". Probably more story content &/or MP, which is good, but the wait... Guess I'll be waiting a bit longer before I build a new MRR (Master Race Rig). |

I just checked discussions on Steam concerning the woke retconning of 40K & noticed the release date looks to have been pushed further back from 9/7 to 12/7. Must need the extra time to shoehorn in the woke. Of course, that could also be done with patch updates. I think I'm going to withhold buying & wait to see what happens, as I'm not feeling all that psyched about it anymore. |
Yeah. I'm out because of the woke retconning bullshit. The Battle For Warhammer Has Begun |

I'm scared it's going to be another Aliens Fireteam disaster. It was fun at first and had a ton of promising expectations, but then the publisher (same as this game) abandoned it within a year. The gameplay looks extremely similar too, except with a 3 person squad instead of a 4 person fireteam. |

The gameplay looks extremely similar too, except with a 3 person squad instead of a 4 person fireteam. The 1st SM game community is still active on PC. I routinely play co-op Exterminatus on weekends via Steam, as well as the occasional PvP match. There's a more committed base due to the broad appeal of the board game & the stories. This is a bigger studio & a bigger IP as a game. The plethoric customizations are classic Space Marine fare. The online components are supposed to be getting ongoing updates & additions. Word is that some of the dev team were on the aborted Eternal Crusade MMO game, & there's rumors of discussions about SM2 evolving to a GAAS model & perhaps expanding to 24v24 player battles, which would be EPIC. I'd definitely pay for that. Haven't played Fireteam in a while, but was thinking of booting it up & seeing if there's activity. |

Word is the full game has leaked. Evidently, it is amazing.
Near complete version of Space Marine 2 leaks to torrent sites months before release, companies need to look after their devs better. |
