Wh:40K MMORPG?

[Red Right Hand]

Could it work, I think it could be done really well, if done right.

 

[crazy-j]

i think so

there is plenty of different races and classes already set up and then work in the tabletop rules into the gameplay and it would probably be pretty decent

Possibly...I've not played the current one, but they've seemed to get that on sorted.

But the 40k universe will be a bit harder...How unfair would it be for Guardsmen to go pvp with a Chaos marine. One Bolter shell and he'll be nothing more than bits of flesh and a pair of combat boots...

It could deffinately work, and were it to happen it would probably be the first mmo I wanted to play, the 40K universe is just too cool.

I ALWAYS WONDERED what it would be like to be on the battle field in 40k

 

[kolompi]

It would be very good if done right. My "dream" is an MMO where there is a real society in which you can be assigned various positions by players who are already in high positions (kinda like in real life).

The WH40K universe would be ideal for it, all races have many different ranks, bureaucratic positions, etc.

Scary...I Imagine.

maybe. i would prefer an FPS for it tho. srsly, space marines and necrons in a FPS. that would be destined for a good game. but PVP would be god damm unfair. srsly, Necrons vs IG? necrons leave the IG as a gibbed skeleton in seconds.

 

[BlackKraken]

I'd only play it if it was skill based really.

Dont think i could stand a WoW clone with gunzzz.

Wait, I thought that already was an MMO?

It is in production.

There already was a FPS called "Fire Warrior" for PC and PS2...
But an MMORPGRTSFPS would be cool, especially with Necrons as a playable race

Fire warrior sucked, plus its old. I want a 40k fps similar to mount and blade, where you could be any faction and participate in large battles.

Why does everything today needs to be turned into a MMO...

MMO are starting to become worse than sequels...

GameDev1: What should we do now?
GameDev2:Another sequel?
GameDev1:Nah...I know MMO!!
GameDev2:Awesome!

Urg...The future of PC gaming...MMO...bah...

 

[7moreDead_v1legacy]

Necrons would not make a very good Race imo, seriously gonna be lacking in the dialogue department =). I would imagine them being hostile npc's, same for 'nids.

 

[The Medic Who Ubered The World]

I hope they decide to solve the IG-Problem by giving you the command of a whole squad of soldiers instead of just one guy. The more powerful your unit becomes, the more soldiers are part of it (max 10 or sth like that?) and the better equipped they are. Later you could incorporate commisars, psychers and techpriest in your unit to gain their special powers.
You still command them like one unit though (like in DoW).

*Wets his pants in anticipation*

Don't f*ck this up, developers, please!!!

Actually I like the sound of that TMW - more in the style of DoW2
