Guys. The game is selling for a tenner at play.com. Since it's a steam game you can just enter your code and add it to your steam library.
There's just no excuse.

Man, that video looked interesting. I kind of wish I wasn't such rubbish at multiplayer and strategy-related games, this looks like a lot of fun.

No, the games just wouldn't register, the rest of your account was fine. These are Polish codes, so if you live within the EU, you should have no hold up about using them. Play.com sell the whole retail package for £10, so a site selling purely an activation code for 15 Euros hardly seems impossible considering that.
Thanks to the game being cheap everywhere in Europe at the moment I finally got myself a copy yesterday.
So far I'm glad I didn't full price. The campaign so far is the same thing over and over and over. I hope it gets better or more complex at some point.
Also still not a fan of the multiplayer. Also wtf @ Force Commander? Saw some teammates running with him alone into the enemy tearing them up.

The new update 'There is only War' will include a Map Editing Tool allowing players to now create their very own battlefield from adding power nodes and victory points to defining the size of the map!

No clear understanding of just how major the Tyrannid and Eldar changes are (the ones Relic wanted us to see in the first Battle Report that is) as I've never selected them before, but the tweaks they brought up during the second Battle Report most definitely sound like welcome balance modifications. Hopefully the update will also encourage the average Space Marine player (the kind with extremely boring spam + Force Commander tactics) to actually use some variety with their so-called "strategic" approach.
Just got done watching the first Battle Report #1. Holy shit they've brought Outer Reaches back. So good.This patch is looking like a whole new game.
I still have no love for Stefan Haines though.
Rebalanced Banshees and Guardians to do more damage.
New T2 Carnifex.
Gaunts have new abilities and upgrades.

No more Rippers in T1. This is huge. T1 Raveners instead.MicVlaD said:

I started playing online again this week, and realized I still suck. I hope this new update helps with that.

so i picked this up today from play.
first impressions being that this is a good game underneath what i feel to be a clumsy UI. the camera controls with having to hold alt to alter camera angle as opposed to just holding right click down really feels jerky and awkward. the need to use the arrow keys to move the screen would be ok if it wasnt so necessary to use the numbers to select a squad. speaking of which why does it keep going up the numbers when a squad is created and not replace one where one has died?
for example 1-3 squads are out squad two dies and squad 4 is created instead of giving it number 2? why is this? is there a way to give them different numbers?
of course most of this could be alleviated if relic treated me like an adult and let me map my own goddamn keys! please tell me they are patching that in.
other then that like i said it feels like there is a good game here waiting to be played.

CcrooK said:Having the option to move your camera instead of using your mouse to off screen move actually helps keep units in check and what not. It helps me with crowd control so I'm doing less mouse work. If that option was there
yes exactly. i feel due to how i am i like to view the battlefield select the unit via hotkey and then right click the action to be done. using a combination of both hands this is faster when the left hand scrolls the camera. it feels much slower scrolling with the mouse then performing an action. ESDF would be the best solution (ESDF > WASD
) for the entire situation and would really help!As much as I like the new maps and changes coming I hope to hear about an expansion or new single player campaign.
I'm worried Scout rushing will be insanely over powered in early game in this new patch. It just sounds like they buffed them too much. Faster, much much stronger and more damage? Geez, a scout with shotguns was already decent again T1 units.

Secretly I was wishing for this to happen; now I'm giddy.Datawhore said:
Reduced the damage of Stikkbombs from 175 to 58
FUUUUUUUUUU. That's a big drop! I love Stikkbommas. I hope the extra bombs and added unit balances them out.
Edit:
Changed the damage type of Rokkit Barrage from rocket to artillery
Whats the difference? Does Artillery do more to infantry and less or vehicles or something?
