Is it just me, or is there no way to control whether you are on the loyalist or Chaos team in multiplayer? I've been able to put in a bit of time today, and while it's reasonably enjoyable... that really kills a lot of joy for me. I don't want to play as Chaos, ever. I would rather wait in a lobby for a spot to open up than play as Chaos. Short of quitting until I find a game that puts me on the appropriate side (which isn't really great etiquette), I can't see a way... and that is remarkably aggravating to me.

I'm the same way. I have very little to no interest in being Chaos. I wish the was a SM or CSM only preference to make it so the time spent on armor customization pays off!!

I hear you. I've been stuck on Chaos probably 15 time and I was on Emperium maybe 3 times. When you are in a private game you can of course pick. If you guys are on xbox live my gamertag is lionfiretx I've been playing on there with some people from B&C.

Oh no, I was putting all my faith into the multiplayer part of the game. 
I would hate being a traitor, how many times do I have to repent afterwards?

It's random. Both of the MP modes are team-based and always chaos vs loyalist (it would make sense no other way). Thus, you can (and should!) set up preferred armor customizations for both allegiances as you might get thrown into either depending on how the teams are balanced out. This can change between matches too, whether you change teams or not!
So, my loyalist armor schemes are all from my DIY (except for one Storm Wardens set, for lolz). And my Chaos armor sets are all factions that I'm either familiar with (because friends play them) or that I might like to run if I ever actually got the gumption up to paint an entirely new marine force. So, Nightlords, Thousand Sons, Death Guard, and World Eaters.

I look forward to the day that we will be strong enough. Strong enough to crush our enemies and strong enough to forgive them as they fall.

Yeah I toyed with the idea of CSM armies back in the day so that's how I select my skins for CSMs. Then I got wise and turned into a Space Wolf pup so that's my skin for SMs

Don't let this put you off! You get to see your own army colors plenty often enough, I swear! It's nice to change things up a bit; variety and all. 
I spent a LOT of time in local clubs purging heretics and declaring death to renegades. Interesting spin on things to see what this "Blood for the Blood God" thing is all about now and again.

I agree with Thade. I'm on either as a Black Templar or a World Eater, and both sides allow you to customize your own personal Loyalist or Heretic. It's not that big a deal.

Depending on what you try to unlock, playing loyalists may work as well. The battered armor (loyalist) for example does not care whether you die loyalist or traitor. Most of the challenges don't care.

Of course, you do get chaos armor when playing loyalists for some reason.

It makes sense to me that if the Tactical Marine intercepts the bullet with his face then the Captain really shouldn't lose his Iron Halo. Not unless Captain and Battle Brother were hugging at the time, in which case it's: bullet shorts out shield and then kills Marine. Captain looks on shocked as Marine slides down his body, then sinks to his knees shouting "nooooooooooo" with his hands in the air.

Well its down to team balancing, i expect there would be alot more moaning if your ended up in games 2 vs 6 and you were getting pumelled. Be grateful that you get to play as your DIY chapter at all. Think of how the other 40k non PA fans must feel.
Private matches are the way to go i think, not sure if you can unlock anything playing them though.

You can definitely unlockk stuff in private matches. I got up to level 7 and got a whole bunch of armor when playing a private match with some other B&Cers yesterday.

Personally, I'll just try to make the least spikey/mutated looking possible chaos marine and just use the same colour scheme as the loyalist skin. I don't know how well this will work though as I haven't even played the game yet, damn you Blockbuster.
The Emperor's Children stood in a ready battle formation in front of the Ultra Marine command squad, a foul chaos dreadnought slowly stomped to the front line and halted opposite the Imperial forces. A high pitched screech erupted from the dreadnought's sonic cannon followed by a wave of silence and then a steady ...THUMP...THUMP... of bass. In perfect unison the Emperor's Children started to perform an incredibly simple yet rhythmic dance routine. In sheer awe and amazement the space marines let their guard down and suddenly, the music kicked in and one by one, they succumbed to the pain and fell to the floor screaming as the sound of the Macarena echoed into the night......
