Even if you don't buy CR, you still get access to the new units for the previous factions and you can still get reamed by chaos opponents, too.
Lightning claw terminators own everything and is a prime example of Relic's 95% good, 5% WTF style balancing. From beta to 1.9, they were obviously concerned that assault termies would be unkillable at range and unbeatable in melee, so they made very specific (too) effective counters to super heavy armor and gave ass termies modest melee dps. Consensus was they were shitty. Then comes CR, and they greatly diminish the effectiveness of super heavy armor counters but give default ass termies a little damage nerf. OK... but they also give them a lightning claw upgrade that makes them unkillable at range and unbeatable in melee ie exactly what they were trying to avoid all along. It's like 5 minutes before going gold someone on the dev team said "fuck that terminators are AWESOME" and sneaked in the most unbalanced upgrade ever. They apparently can take down a thornback carnifex without losing a man.
RETARDED.
Anyway, the game is still rad despite this. The chaos theme and voices are amazing. |
