The premium add-on pack called The Dreadnought, adds a new multiplayer mode called Dreadnought Assault where both teams battle to capture a central location on the map and the winners spawn a player controlled Dreadnought. The Dreadnought is armed with an Assault Cannon / Auto Cannon, a Meltagun and a Power Fist / Power Claw and must capture points across the map to score points for their team. Once the Dreadnought is destroyed a new spawn point will appear.
The Dreadnought DLC also includes three new multiplayer maps Desolation, Dome Mechanicus and Chem Refinery, as well as new achievements / trophies and has a suggested cost of 800 Microsoft Points / US$9.99.
In addition to the premium add-on content all players of Space Marine will receive a new multiplayer Capture and Control Mode for free. Playable on all the game’s multiplayer maps, this team based mode challenges players to capture and defend locations around the map to score points.
Jim Huntley, Vice President of Global Brand Management commented, “Fans of Space Marine have been asking for vehicles for a while so we are delighted to be bringing the iconic Dreadnought and Chaos Dreadnought to consoles for the first time in this DLC content.”
Alongside this add-on content THQ will be releasing two new player skins for sale on the Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network, Playstation® Network and STEAM. Players will be able to purchase unique Iron Hands and Death Guard skin packs for a suggested price of 240 Microsoft Points / US$2.99 each.
The Space Marine DLC content is scheduled to be available to purchase on Xbox 360, Playstation®3 and Windows PC on 25th January(US) / 25th January (EU).

What I find is utterly stupid, is that when you're an assault/raptor marine and you start attacks with close combat weapons, you can't intterupt them if you decide to press jump. Instead, you're left watching your avatar blindly continue hacking away like a moron!
You must change this so that when you need to interrupt your flow of attacks by pressing another button, it will do it. Whoever coded it to do the way it's done now must have rocks in their head.
The thunderhammer has to be improved too-the number of swings of the hammer has to match the number of times you press the button.
There needs to be more 40K themed modes, things like capturing a number of servo skulls which would give you a location to a point to capture, or relics to be destroyed. Make the new modes more interesting and to do with 40K instead of doing normal multiplayer modes like deathmatches and capture the flag modes.
Make it 40K!

Versus mode selection on PS3 is fubar. Host migration is terrible.
Sort it out Relic!
I still can't play on the Chaos Unleashed maps in the Dread mode either.
I'm glad I got the Dread mode in the sale at £1.59, 'cos the full price is a ripp-off.
Sort the damn thing out and reply to our messages please.
