Blog Entries: 5 | Baron, I couldn't find the thread, really. And this announcement in and of itself wasn't. Until now, it's only been vague planning and mentioning of development. It is official now.

 And this is about official confirmation of the game whereas the old one was about wild guesses that THQ are actually working on a mmo.Please don`t hit Erus

| not to be the pin to every ones balloon of excitement, but what makes you think its going to be MMORPG? It could just as likely be MMOFPS or even (god i hope so) a MMORTS. Ah I see this is the 1st time the announcement had been posted on the site- I forgot that it wasn't here already, I'd seen it about a month and a half ago when i was cruising the Warhammer Online site. |

Blog Entries: 5 | I think realistically it will be a more fusion type design. Talking to a friend of mine who works in the industry, he said that is what the buzz is. When I say this, I meant.. Well.. Take an MMOFPS, and an MMORPG. It'd be first person(rather like Battlefield 2) shooter. But, more in depth on the character. The kills would provide 'experience'. YOu would level, or 'go up in rank', and as you do, you edit and add skill like a normal MMO. That way, everyone is different. Obviously, there are some stumbling blocks.... How could IG work? SM? The factions need to be there to give the game any chance, and our ideas (not official, but they would work well and follow what info is out) were thus: IG would need a LOT less kills to level. Though they would never be as strong as an SM, they could be fixed by IG guns not able to be fire by an SM, and by representing the damned near inexhaustible ammo a lasgun has! An SM obviously would have low ammo (16 rounds per bolt clip!). However, they would move impossibly fast, have great CC and ranged (depending on spec, though potential for both is there). I think you all see where I am coming from. Anyway, there's my bit!

Blog Entries: 4 | @ Baron: MMORTS isn't my favorite genre. I've seen good MMORTS games but they aren't "done well", i.e. they're good as a game, but the MMO part isn't blended well with RTS, ending up just as, well, an RTS on bigger map and more players. As far as 40k MMO goes, I think going the Tabula Rasa route has a lot of merits

Blog Entries: 2 | I mean like... pretty much everything with EA on it that isn`t a sport or a sim game, MAX, Earth 2160, Maelstorm, so so many games But yeah, many many games that are remakes or are simply based on older games (just like the movies) tend to be a bucket-o-low.
