Love single player mode, not a huge fan of multi at the moment, hopefully it grows on me.
So I win right?
You're not even playing.
So I'm winning?
Yes Alley, you're winning.

The weapons in Multi are like the weapons on the tabletop :P a Melta to the Face insta kills you a Lascannon to the Face insta-kills you Thunderhammer to the Face insta-kills you. Once you hit those points you dont really need to use anything else.

This game feed my e-ego like no other.

Also, the multi in this is awesome. I wish I was better as a Raptor but there is something incredibly cathartic about digging in as a Havoc and just grinding down Assault Marines from the air.

How does the multi-player work? Is it dedicated servers or something else? also is there a way to play LAN?

It works off P2P (Peer to Peer) system even for PC and the Closest you can do to lan is Private games that no-one else can join in unless invited but is still online. Wish the P2P was a little better for PC because some of the matches I been in have the worst hosts.

I bought it for the PS3 and the gameplay, graphics, and campaign are amazing. This is probably the most accurate 40k game to date. My favorite part is the smooth (yet violent) transition from shooting to assault (both offensively and defensively).. now I know how the little model space marines feel on the tabletop when the are being charged by a horde of orks lol.

Also weapons/tactics/enemies in game function pretty much exactly like the tabletop, I haven't got a chance to play multi-player yet but am definitely looking forward to it after I finish the campaign.

Based on how badass a Nob is I wonder what a Warboss would do to my poor Space Marine.

Thinking like that could just leave you on the business end of a Klaw.

Exterminatus DLC is now available for free. It's basically a 4-player co-op horde mode in which slaughter ever increasing waves of Orks and Chaos.

It'll be along for the 360 shortly, just as soon as they fix the connectivity issues. Which, um, is kinda important. :|

There are connectivity issues with PC as well but it is very playable once you get into the game.

I'm in love with the Assault Marine with chain sword +  swordsman's zeal.
