Submitted by THQSledgehammer on Fri, 09/02/2011 - 9:39am in News updates
Coming to Space Marine as free DLC in October, the four-player Exterminatus Mode pits an elite squad of four Space Marines against hordes of alien enemies in a score based fight to the death. You can choose from the Tactical Marine, Devastator or Assault Marine as well as utilizing any weapons and perks available to those classes.
Each of the Exterminatus scenarios, ‘Assault on Hab Center Andreas’ and ‘Escape From Kalkys Facility’ feature multiple areanas, global leader boards, encouraging you to take the risk on dynamic in-game challenges that pop up during play. For example, “Kill 10 Orks in 10 seconds”. With extra lives and points up for grabs if you complete a challenge.
Experience earned while playing this mode also counts towards multiplayer ranks, allowing you to level up in both Co-Op and Multiplayer.
Space Marine’s Co-op mode is scheduled to be available for free to all players in early October, you can see a few more screens from the mode on our Official Facebook page HERE. Here’s what the press have had to say so far about Exterminatus…
