Good God I hate this ancient website. However, Ultimate Apocalypse deserves a 10 out of 10 rating from me. The devs working on this mod have provided me with many years of entertainment, and they did so at no cost to me. I have tried many, MANY mods for WH40K, and will continue to do so, thanks to Relic and THQ being the pathetic b*tches they are... yet THIS mod has always brought me back. Do you know why? Because when I read books, comics, or speak to nerds who play with the action figure table top game, THIS is what I see the WH40K universe looking like. Ultimate Apocalypse, every day, for every denizen that lives in that horrid universe. UA mod is the only mod that makes me think to myself, "You know, this is a fun game, but f*ck this sh*t if it was reality as we knew it."
Every other mod I've tried, including Unification, and many other big name mods, simply fall short of making me feel anything. I enjoy all those other mods, and I do so frequently, but THIS mod takes the win... because this mod, while bringing the fun, also makes me feel so thrilled that I don't live in the WH40K universe.
That is why I gave this mod "such a high rating."
I found the mod to be full of new units, but not too many as to overwhelm the player. There are a great deal of new upgrades, and and also changes made to special weapon upgrades aimed at increasing the amount available per squad/vehicle. I found the game to be mostly balanced, which was very impressive. Whether I played versus players or a.i., I found the game to be balanced in almost all aspects. However, I feel two areas need attention. The Eldar reapers are now incredibly over-powered when they are equipped with their weapon upgrades. The missiles they fire are very accurate, do massive damage to all armor types, and have a fairly high fire-rate. A large mass of these troops are nearly impossible to defeat, or lose with. Also, I found the Necrons impossible to defeat when facing the a.i., and players once they reach around 50% build speed, and max tech tier. Too many monoliths, and a very powerful dual set of C'Tan gods makes the match impossible to win/lose do to their op powers, near invulnerability, and quick build speed. Over-all though, the best mod I have played yet. Keep up the good work, and kudos for making a great game, even better.
