The game makes for some great screen shots (especially when it locks up from lag issues...F12, F-12, F-12). Nothing quite so fun as running along in a MP game and having someone kill you with a chain sword from 30 feet away. Graphics are pretty, but I would prefer something I could sink my teeth into. We have seen the game premise and engine over and over again. All they did was change the cover of an old book. Being a die-hard 40k fan (25 years) I expected more from my favorite game. This will be another game that they continue to tease you with 7.99 content add ons while failing to fix the issues at the heart of the game itself. I would wait until this one drops to $20 before I bought it.
In short...Storyline is too short and from the very first round you can tell there is NOOOOOO way that your marine is going to lose to a bunch of half wit orcs. Multiplayer is a total lag fest (he who has the worst connection wins...every time) and until they break down with some dedicated servers it will continue to be a real gamers nightmare.
