    This mod has a bunch of potential but it needs polish and shine. And better servers.

    Wow It's not the most refined thing i've seen but is has a good feel to it. You feel cool as hell when you wander about in the darkened corridors with your heavy bolt pistol and flashlight for your only company.

    How is that fun?

    It's twitchy as hell at the moment! There are only 3 dedicated servers and they are poop. Jus needs a week or so to smooth out with some good quality servers.

    I was less annoyed by the lack of servers than I was by the fact that whenever I joined one I always turned into a floating eye or something and hardly ever actually spawned in.

    Your team is limited to a certain number of spawns. After you hit the limit you become a flying spy thingy so you can spy on the enemy and report to your team.

    I get the concept, but it's very annoying because in practice the system often means that only one or two people can spawn in, and you are almost garunteed not to get in if you join mid-map

    heres a run down....

    walking at HA speed... 24/7... V models arent the best... maps are empty, not soo great on the texture side... and well, boring

    Admins have no idea what they are doing, or why they are playing...

    players are "what key is default for ____" (you have to set it yourself most of the time)

    and games are slow, boring and most servers are full..



    give it a few more weeks

    You have to deploy yourself to fire the heavy weapons. Press Q and stand still for 10 seconds.

    I wasn't very impressed by this mod. The models are nice, but the animations look really ridiculous, especially on the dreadnoughts. The whole spawning system is quite weird. Apparently there's one shared respawn pool for your team, so every suicidal newbie will keep you from respawning. Well, at least you don't have to sit in spectator, you can fly through the map as a little head. Sometimes I also spawned as a marine, but without any weapons, might be a bug.

    The most annoying thing is the deploying system. Sounds great in theory, but in practice defense is so much stronger than offense that everyone seems to turtle a chokepoint near their base with a missile launcher and deadlock each other. At least that happened on the one server I could stay connected to for longer than 5 minutes. All the light weapons are so incredibly weak that I really don't know how you're supposed to break through those deployed defenses. Perhaps dreadnoughts are the answer, I couldn't figure out how to get into one.

    such an incredible amount of lag that I couldn't play. I'm on a T1 and I couldn't find any servers with a ping of less than 1k, and even there all I could do was watch the game, it never let me do jack.

    Hey speed, I saw you, my name was DeViL Cr0c0diLe.

    Yea well...IT SUCKS. I was a head for 30 minutes, then I left the server cause I thought it was bugged. Then I found out it wasen't, was a head for 10 more minutes, THEN I FINALLY GOT A GUN! But the weapons are crap! the one teams weapons are much better than the others. It takes me about 20 shots to kill people, while they kill me in 5! (both with common, no need to deploy machine guns). The respawn thing is crap, I can only respawn 4-5 times, then I have to be a damn head for about 10 more minutes. The game is total crap. The flamer makes everyones ping go to about 1000. Half the time your just floating around, defensless, getting killed. So no, I don't think I'll play till this game gets reworked.

    Snoopy you where lucky. I spent a whole round without being able to spawn in at all and it wasn't a newbie problem. There was simply not enough points for me to spawn. But I stayed for an other round....
    And didn't get to spawn again. That was when I left.
    The round before that I got to spawn once and wait the rest of the turn.

    I love the wh40k world but this isn't good.
    The maps are blocky, ugly, few and pointless. The sound is lacking. Normal space marines run around like if they are hooked on speed. I had one round where I ran circles around a space marine dreadnaught to avoid the elders dreadnought. That really makes you feel imersed in gameworld <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Might be NS that has put the level to high that no other mods can compare but next time I want to play with space marines I'll reload the replacement modells for NS.

    I was looking forward to this but now I'm only dissapointed
