Come Brothers.... we must Purge the Heretics!

[MikeGER]

I just finished the first SP chapter (on normal) and i liked it ....the atmosphere and immersion is a blast. 

I allmost forgot about my Psi-capabilities but it saved the day at last moment when securing and hooooooooolding a bridgehead while waves after waves attacking and we were after the 54 min long mission down to zero (re)heals from the medic.

SH:DW has some strategy and tactics about the path you chose to different objectives inside the labyrinth of a vessel (map) and sealing off doors behind you in your path or breaching others. Also i was able to take over sentry gun towers or at least 'activate' them to do some carnage to followers behind when we left those areas ... i heard screams and shots >:D  but we were already behind -of course!-  a sealed bulkhead so i don't have eye witness prove of that really working   

concerning leveling up:
i was asked to allocated 3 'improvement points' in three different branches to spend them for to level up my brothers and my own cababilities ...i expect to see these in the works in the now reaming 8 'chapters' (in the meaning of maps/level)

So a first single player play-through will be estimated at least 9h of real time you get for your money (info for those Grogs on the fence)

Good Show Grogs! Kind of hard to sneak around in those giant metal, stomping suits but-- Grogs aren't for sneaking anyway. Why doesn't someone build a Spacehulk with well-lighted, straight corridors? That would make the whole alien thing much easier.  O0

Is that flying skull thing a scout or something, I kept shooting it as it would flash in my LOS.

They are Servo-skulls which are robotic devices that provide several functions/roles for the Empire and various Chapters.

in the game they seem to serve a role of scouting and giving early warning of enemy movement. They also are equipped with torches so they provide a source of light.

i just did an experiment with MP.
you can host a game and join in and start as a single person alone. 
well, the trick to stay alive is to do it as the Apothecarius, who as his first upgrade (enuf killings) get the selfheal function (it has a cooldown, so use and time it wisely) ....i came astonishing far in that first try as a lonesome survivor of a squad

Yeah. This is how I played the beta. it is frustrating that you cannot add AI squadmates. However, I guess if you did that, than you would just be playing the SP campaign...

Come Purge the Heretics....... In the Emperor's Name

Should have games running this weekend... I'll send you TS info.  What time is good for everyone... on both sides of the pond.

[JasonPratt]

^LOL...that is a fairly accurate depiction of how most of our games ended...

And, for that matter, where Space Hulk (and the Tyrannids) came from to begin with. 

[JasonPratt]

Hm. I got to the point in the first mission where the Tyrannids first attack; and reloaded the prior save to see if I could get through it better with using shockwaves occasionally -- and when I did, 90% of the sound permanently dropped out. Reloading again helped nothing; adjusting audio settings in-game didn't rest it either. Had to quit. Presumably when I load in again, the sounds will be back.

hoping to get some time tomorrow night, probably after 8 PST, probably earlier over the weekend. Do you guys meet up in Asid's teamspeak server? Looks like more  action in the first chapter with multiplayer, i went through a lot of the first chapter without firing a shot in SP.

Roger that sir.

Generally, I can make anytime that isn't post 11pm ('cos I'm old) and pre 6am GMT subject to family life not getting in the way.

However the next 3 weekends are out for me... this weekend is probably out for MP because my daughter is down (although I'll get gaming time, I can't commit to a time this weekend), next weekend is out for obvious reasons and so is the following weekend as I'll be in Wales seeing in the New Year with an ex-army buddy and bessie mate.

[Sir Slash]

Everybody's too busy to fight for the Emperor?!!? YOU.... are the true Heretics!
