Space Marine 2: My God, it's full of awesomesauce! Also blood. Much blood. UPDATE: It's alive! (Page 3 of 3)
|
I was gifted the game over the past week so it's time to update my initial negative review. Took me 8 hours to finish the campaign. I enjoyed the campaign very much, although the amount of times I had to stand on an elevator was annoying. The final mission was way too long itself. I pissed off my wife trying to finish the last mission because I told her I was just going to finish one quick mission but that shit took almost 2 hours  I did all the trials for every class then jumped into a random Operation with 2 other random people. One guy didn't do anything at all and just stood back with an auto rifle and pistol taking shots at enemies from afar (not a sniper either). The other guy was helpful playing Vanguard while I played Bulwark. Took almost an hour for one Operation, although searching online it seems like that specific operation was one of the longer ones. At the end I ranked up Bulwark by one level, but my weapons only got half of an upgrade. Seems like it might take a while to level up all the classes! Maybe PvP is quicker? |

I liked sniper early on, but the more I play the less I like it since with tougher missions you have to deal with much larger swarms from many more directions so "sniping" is rarely possible or effective compared to meltas, grenade launchers and other AOE swarm mitigation. |

Sniper is heavily team mate dependent. It was my first class and I hated scoping in on a boss' head only to get pounced on by a random minoris, but good allies keep you clean. When you get pretty high in level you can unlock an ammo refund perk for the Las Fusil which makes it nice for clearing out Tyrannid minoris. When I play Bulwark I use power stance on the Power Sword to keep minoris off Snipers and Heavies. I still love Sniper, even with it's limited ammo pool in the right team it's so godly and deleting Zooanthropes the second they appear is so satisfying but if I know that it can be hard to carry with. I think the most fun matches I've had though are when I'm on Bulwark and both allies are strong melee classes (Assault, Tactical, Vanguard) and they queue off of my parries. So satisfying to wade into a dense pack of majoris and watch them all die to executions in very short order, 3 in screen at the same time is so cool to see. Tactical has so many good primary weapons options I'm leveling those up now. |

Tactical has so many good primary weapons options I'm leveling those up now. I love my Bulwark just for the look and the near inability to be killed, but if I'm honest Tactical is the best class. I could nearly solo a Ruthless Inferno with my Tactical, and have survived several "massive enemy swarm"s solo while the other two players sat out their 2 minute timers. Those are my 25s. I could level the others up quick enough, but I'm sitting on a bunch of purple and gold weapon cards just waiting to slow roll my way to 25 on the other classes. |

If Assault had access to the power sword I'd already be there. I've wanted this option from the beginning, along with opening up the class arsenal selection to match the actual lore, but the studio won't go there. At least the astartes overhaul mod is available to do it, if only for private games. |

Just started the campaign last weekend after getting my new rig up & running. Agree, storm bolter would rock. So far, so good. Top it off with the SM3 announcement. So damn glad this studio hasn't gone woke. |

https://community.focus-entmt.com/focus-entertainment/space-marine-2/blogs/179-march-community-update A new class is in the works. |
| So far, I'm liking it but for the assault class JP nerf in ops. You can't boost up to a higher level or even up to the top of a ramp or staircase. I mean, really? What possessed them to do this? Is the JP going to be this bad in horde mode, too? |

Originally Posted By RayFromJersey: So I main Assault & Bulwark in ops. The key to Assault is parrying often which will reset your JP constantly with the proper build. It's absolutely overpowered lol. It gets even crazier when you learn how to do the parry-cancel exploit. You can parry in the middle of your attack animations which will stop the combo and let you slam attack (with aftershock). It's so stupid lol.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShtaT5WoDxsYeah, I'm leveling assault class 1st. All fine, but it's supposed to be a melee class, I expect it to do melee stuff. And the JP sucks. Can't jump up to higher levels, even up a slant ramp. I mean, really? Vanguard gets around better. Astartes Overhaul shows the way. |

Originally Posted By Larsonous: this game is on sale from PSN for $41 right now I read it isnt worth getting for solo campaign what do you guys think? The story isn't bad (final boss fight is meh), but online is its real draw for me, siege being the main attraction. The only thing I'm personally displeased with is how the assault class jump pack performance was nerfed for operations. Luckily, since I'm on PC, the Astartes Overhaul mod restores its performance, albeit for private ops (& eventually siege) games, but I think the game will most likely have staying power via mods anyways. It's worth noting that, with the public release of dev tools for modding, it's sounding like consoles will be getting mod support moving forward. |

| My 9 y/o is addicted. Told him not to talk about the game around his mom or let her see him playing it. He played for hours in multiplayer with my adult cousin trying out the multi console feature. Worked pretty good on our Xbox and his custom built computer. He also loves the Secret Level episode on Amazon Prime. The game is fantastic looking. |

| Made it to wave 20. It’s awesome fun. Triple hellbrute is rough. If one of them stuns you, it’s over. You’ve got to have equipment resupply with melta bombs. Assault is worthless. He’s got no way to get contested health back. Bulwark is a life saver,Heavy is most fun. Tac marine is well…Tac marine. He’s OP. Vanguard is clutch with health return perks, and sniper with emperors grace is great. |
