pwn is leet?

And, btw, its not pronounced own... its pronounced pawn, or poned (one guy I know says so at least). I love the word.

And I myself think a semi rpg fps Space Marine/IG tactical shooting game would rock. I haven't played it, but I think Ghost Recon 2 or Rainbow Six, only with lasguns would be fun.

Haven't played battlefield 40k, but it sounds like fun. The best FPS game is CS:Source... it pwns... period.

Oh, and I have debated this topic before.... a I have really neat ideas for a 40k FPS, the only problem would be balance.

Okay, I'm just gonna start typing... I don't know you guys think, but here it goes.

Lets say, since I haven't really thought about balance, we have SM and CSM fighting against each other.

The space marines start out with several squads of scout marines (both teams have 30 members... so, the scouts are 6 squads of 5), armed with a variety of heavy weapons, snipers, BP and CCW and such. The CSM have a bunch of traitor Stormtroopers, not AS powerful, but, they get free frag grenades.

So, the two teams start fighting... the scouts rack up points fast with their snipers, and soon, one of the squads decides to jump up to a Tactical Squad, so 5 Power armored bodies appear and start doing mass damage.

The stormtroopers freak... but due to luck, manage to kill enough SM to get their own CSM, and the battle continues as such, with each kill a team gets points, the bigger the kill (a scout = little points a termie = BIG points). And before you know it, we have Dreadnoughts, landraiders and Defiliers walking about.

Now, one thing I like is that, once you spend points, thats it, those points are gone, you can't turn in your power armor for extra points to get some termie armor, you have to actually LOSE the points. Also, if a termie squad dies, you have wasted all those points, and on top of that, the enemy now has points for more wargear/better weapons GAAGH!

Whaddaya guys think?
