Space Marine Multiplayer (PS3)

[lordmardok]

This... it not a good start. So I recognize that having a great single player is awesome and I loved the campaign for Space Marine. The thing is, the main reason I bought it was because I loved the idea of the Multiplayer. You know, pitting a squad of marines against thier traitor counter parts and duking it out over area control or just plain murdering everything in sight. Imagine my dismay when I find out that the Multiplayer for the PS3, ostensibly the best looking version of the game assuming you don't have a PC that resembles HAL on steroids because you don't have 2000 US to blow on it, simply doesn't work.

It sits there and tries to find a game ad nauseum I got this on release day and played most of the way through the campaign. Figuring I'd give the Multiplayer a bit of a leg up since I doubted there would be a massive plethora of people online right away I didn't get on Multiplayer til day 3, figuring that was enough time. Now I find that the PS3 version has a universal issue of not fucking working.

So my question is this. I am not particularly tech-savvy in the PS3 arena, I know the rites and incantations to the machine god that gets my hunk-of-comp running but the PS3 is out of my area of expertise. So is there a way to fix it? Because as far as I can tell despite the massive amounts of complaints on the www.Spacemarine.com forums, THQ and Relic have yet to act.

Yeah at first i was thinking the same as you but it actually works...
It just takes FOREVER to find a lobby. like 10 minutes to find one which is ridiculous. However!!! Once your in a lobby you stay in it until you quit the multiplayer, and you only have to wait a minute between matches which is very nice.

Once you actually get to play it though the multiplayer is addictive and fun as hell . I just REALLY hope they fix how long it takes to start it up

Alas us in the UK can't help you for a few more hours we've yet to get it over here. Well it's out today but the shops don't open for 8 more hours.

I was hoping they would have this fixed by today after reading a fair few complaints about it but it's not looking hopeful.

funny thing, not to brag or anything but for xbox users I get in games quickly.

It's terrible on PC too, I thought you console types would be used to the MP

got in on ps3, completed camapaign so went on multiplayer and it told me NAT was closed or sumin, tried to join game but jst kept searching. left it for an hour (while i watched mythbusters woop woop) and still searching. Official forums just say it doesn't affect your online performance but i'd say not being able to play kind of affects it, just a little bit. anyone figured out how to fix this NAT thing? if that even is the problem.

I got the game on the first day, returned it on the second. Campaign was so mindlessly repetitive that I could not force myself to keep going.

I've had the same issue. It is really fun when you do get in, but it takes a long time. I sent an email to Relic and apparently they have some technical issue on their end of the multiplayer and are working to fix it. At least that's what I got in response... hope they fix it soon,

You can log into your router and change your NAT settings. I really don't understand it (I'm an idiot when it comes to tech stuff), but I followed the steps of a guy on Youtube. The video applies for 360 and PS3.
