They were not really lore breaking as much as didn't make any sense for a tactical marine to have such a rare weapon. It would be like give him a TH/SS. But yes. Pretty damn ridiculous.
True that I mean Space Marine didn't break the lore that bad maybe it kinda went to far with distrusting the Inquisition a captain not being affected by Chaos Still a great game now Fire Warrior....... I swear the Tau should make that fire warrior THERE GOD.
I'm not very falimiar with all of the weapons, but it seems to be that grenades are pretty useless At least in the tabletop game
Yet another thing that was kinda lore breaking like Blind Grenades im pretty sure the only marines that can have access to anything like a Flash bang have to be Death Watch unless.....All those Marines were former deathwatch?
While I don't want to hate on the vengeance launcher, it's pretty fun actually. Enjoyable, neat, provides something that makes devastators duck their heads. I just picture myself as the lad who designed it in Relic, discovering multiple forum threads like this and hanging his head in a bob, because his creation was disliked so immensely ): I just dislike the multikills needed, god that is a pain to get. I didn't really have any quirks with the weapons. It would be nice if the lascannon and melta had more 'charge up' times, but they don't. Lore wise, yeah a lascanon totally disintegrates whatever it touches, ceramite, terminator armor, doesn't matter. However, for the sake of gameplay, I felt comfortable letting the lascannon fall into a 'sniper' role in pvp and as antiarmor in the pve. Speaking of PVE though... I was saddedend that the standard bolter was basically rubbish in the horde mode.
Most hated would be the VL for all the reasons already detailed by others. Worst weapon I would go with is the stock bolter. Its garbage without any perks, decent with kraken bolts but still worse than most other weapons even without their perks, and with the targeter and kraken bolts its very powerful but now you have no utility. I wish the bolter came stock with Kraken bolts, that way you would only need one perk slot to make it a very useful weapon. It was pretty sad to play SPACE MARINE and have about 3% of the players actually using the bolter. Still a tremendous game imho
when you take the lore and shoe horn it into a death-match gameplay, you need to adjust it to make it fun for everyone. This shouldn't make you physically ill-unless you consider every match you've ever played official canon. Its fun, I get to run around in power armor. I would have been fine had they made orks playable and just reskinned the space marine stuff.
