Look, the game's lead developer got shafted for overpromissing crazy stuff a long time ago, they replaced him, and totally changed the direction the game was going (no longer going to be mmo, etc.). And they offered refunds to those that bought into the game before this change of direction.

Yet still there's tons of people coming over expecting a 40k wow. Granted, it doesn't help that the steam store page still tags this game as an mmo.

The game is incredibly buggy. The controls are frustrating, and balance has a long way to go still, and 60% of the playerbase mains space marines. It's a 3rd person shooter with an interesting melee system, truly asymetricaly balanced factions, and it's 40k. I like the game, but can't really recommend it till they fix all their poo poo. The 2 biggest positives of this game is the melee idea and the asymmetrical factions.

If you don't own the game yet, just wait, unless you really want to play a 40k shooter with space magic and loving space marines. Since its 40k, you can be sure it will never die for several years.

Don't buy this garbage dick game. I solely have this still bookmarked to warn people. It's not good and categorically half-baked in every aspect.

They just dropped another update for the game:

No patch notes on their forums, but they have some atrociously formatted ones on steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/91593398103092859

There are a lot of fixes listed on that page, enough that i'm not going to read them. The big ticket items for the patch are:

Dead Game posted:

PVE HORDE MODE - New game mode with 3 new maps and various general AI improvements. I hear it's a 5% chance so far of winning 3 on Hard.

MEGA VETERANS - We reworked both their purpose, rules and looks. A pre-cursor to incoming elites aka Burning Dude and Angry Eldar.

COMBAT & MELEE IMPROVEMENTS - Rokkits, Plasma Cannon, Plasma Gun, Ablaze ailment, Grav, Vehicle changes (don't blow up while using claws/fist), Melee fixes and animation work to name a few.

VISUAL CUSTOMIZATION - A long with a lot of new visuals added, there are now bundles which give you a 40% discount. If you have something in it already, you do not pay for it in the bundle.

MAP & CAMPAIGNS - Map improvements as well as scaling up of core systems allowing Campaigns to start (and other systems improving on the backend performance).

And now the dirty part:

[BALANCE] Ace Dakka: Recoil and heat per shot increased.
[BALANCE] Autocannons: Recoil increased.
[BALANCE] Ebon Blade: Now inflicts the same damage as regular Eldar Power Swords.
[BALANCE] Fortification normalisation: Vindicator, Warp Hunter, Kannon Wagon siege damage decreased; fortification health decreased. This is intended to make turrets die in more hits from siege weapons.
[BALANCE] Grav weapons: Damage multipliers were not overridding correctly, resulting in vehicle damage that was higher than intended; fortification damage reduced to fit with fortification normalisation.
[BALANCE] Heat Ailment: Damage per tick reduced.
[BALANCE] Plasma Cannons: Second charge level removed; radius increased; causes short stagger.
[BALANCE]Plasma Guns: Charged shot will now short stagger to prevent stun-locking of veterans.
[BALANCE] Power weapons: Strong attack damage mod now correctly increase damage instead of reducing it.
[BALANCE] Rokkit Launchas: Explosion damage falloff now sharply decreases.
[BALANCE] Vehicle Bleedout: Increased vehicle bleedout health to reduce the likelihood of dying to the explosion while assaulting them in melee.

I'm giving this a whirl because I'm excited to find out if it can be worse than how Deathwing turned out.
