The closest you'll be getting to a StarCraft MMO

[CaptCommy]

40K MMO, made by THQ and Games Workshop. Not much info, but hey, it counts for something.

I have only one thing to say about that...

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-e-
We totally need a WAAAAGH!!!!!! smiley.

[Enders]

No...this can't be real
This would be too awesome for the world to handle.
I'm sorry...I just can't...believe it.

[HarryB]

We have make an Ork guild called Dirty White Boyz.

[Polish Hill]

Wow it must be impossible to grab loose change wearing that armor.

[Krispy Joe]

Space Marinessssss!!!111

[Dwin]

ATTAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!

We totally need a Space Marine smiley.

FOR THE EMPEROR :fier: :fier: :fier:

I didn't like how the guy being interviewed dodged the question of what the game was going to be like. I would've rather he said "I can't say right now" instead of "I'M NOT GOING TO SAY BUT WHATEVER IT IS IT WILL BE AWESOME LOLOLOL" like he did in the article.

[FlamingPotato]

Holy shit. I actually cried in joy.

[Scraps]

I'll buy this.

[Splitlip]

Is it tight in here or just my pants?

[MattW]

I just hope that they keep the MMO dark and gothic just like the 40k storyline.

[Denwad]

yeah they should be able to pull it off

40k is wierd because unlike most other games ( franchises really ) they propagate war as being AWESOME.

{EDIT} which is AWESOME

[vecdran]

Wow.

I uh, don't know what to say really. This is a fulfillment of everything I have ever wished to see in an MMO :D

[Denwad]

i'd like to add that i might actually start praying so that God will not allow this game to suck ass.

[CoMmEnT]

I think I peed a little..

[-[Crosshair]-]

Excellent.

[Yiggs]

I'm happy as long as I can drive a Leman Russ or be a Kasyrkin.

[Wheat]

I just shit my pants.

Sekratly I hope they make it a MMOFPS like a "super planetside".

That would make more sense than a WoW style interface... although I guess that could work.

[OMFG it g00]

I hope
they include tyranids...
or SPACCE RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATS
:p

Well look at how MMOFPS's have traditionally done... PlanetSide is a failure and will probably end up getting closed down probably within a year or two. I mean it was a great game people just didn't play it after awhile, there really wasn't any good new content added I guess is its main fault.

Another "mmofps" to look at would be Gunz which is filled with hackers, exploiters, and a horrible income.

Compair that to any MMO with a "basic" style interface like WoW, EQ, or DAoC. Those have life span and great income. From a money perspective theres really no good reason to go with the FPS idea, not to mention its also exceedingly hard to do well. Imagine trying to put Orks into that sort of game effectively :rolleyes:

And ugly as sin.

[vecdran]

Uh, you need to remember how OLD Planetside is. It was released in 2003 ffs. Graphics were amazing back then.

I would actually call Planetside a success until core combat. After core combat, the content stagnated. To do this day though, you cannot find an FPS with the scale of combat that occurred in PS.

[Splitlip]

Still occurs. Battlefeild 2 comes close sometimes, but its never 150 guys defending a base against 2 armies that are fighting each other at the same time. Caverns are kinda fuckin awful though.

[vecdran]

I remember the biggest fight I ever participated in, I was playing my NC char. It was a three way over an uh...wow, I can't remember the name of the facility, but it's the one that's a bitch to take. Sturmgrenadier was present with all three arms of their outfit, and there a some huge VS and TR outfits there. The battle was so laggy for me, there were at least 600 people on each side all at this base. It was nutty.

WWIIOL?

[DunNa]

WWIIOL?

Thats not a game but a complete abomination and should be killed with fire :fier:

I shall also file this as evidence under why companys don't want to make MMOFPSs :(

[Stig]

How about a MMORTS a la Shattered Galaxies? I think that that could be awesome.

QFE. :fier:

[Modest Genius]

I wish they'd just concentrate on making an RTS that actually captured the 40k ethos, rather than pissing around with an MMO. How on Earth can you incorporate a bunch of independent space marines and orks wandering around into the 40k storyline?

[kreket]

I just hope that they keep the MMO dark and gothic just like the 40k storyline.

:menkey:

"Three cheers for a short player life! Horay! Horay! Ho-" *SCHPLATSCH*
"THEY GOT KURT!"

[Splitlip]

Maybe the MMO will focus around the Inquisition ordos. That would make the varied classes easier to explain being mixed all together. Marine detached from his chapter, or players as Deathwatch marines, guardsmen and arbites recruited as entourage, etc, etc. And yes, I am once again hoping for an Inquisition focused game.

[SWATJester_os]

kick......................ass!?
