As most of you have heard, a Warhammer 40k MMO is going to be produced (god knows when). This has really been a dream of mine for quite a while!
This should be a squad based MMO, where you can obiously upgrade your troops with loot, take vehicles, buy vehicles, MAKE vehicles. Somewhat like guildwars nightfall with the additional heroes.
There are some problems of course. First off solo and group play, it will be easy to solo with your own squad! There will be no need for other human interaction but to buy new gear, and PvP of course. That is the way out though, make the game skill based, and very PvP oriented.
Thats what Warhammer 40k is all about, lots and lots of death, and destruction, and mayhem, and more destruction. The Imperium, sacrficing everyday to stay alive and protect the emperor. Orks to keel and continue the WAAAAAAAAAAAGH. Eldar to stave off there inevitable doom, and extinction. Chaos to crush the false corpse emperor. All of them fighting and NEVER allying.
This could be the first 5-8 (idk) Faction MMO!
Classes could be just one for each section of the imperium. One for each section of eldar (striking scorpions, dark reapers, etc) Orks for WAAAAAAGH. Chaos could be diferent types of deamons, or space marnines.
There might be alot of holes to fill in Wahammer 40k Online, but i would love to see the squad based stuff and the vehicles, and multi factions come into an MMO.
im hearing mid 09 for warhammer 40k online and theyre integrating a lot of mechanics from the table game into it so it should be pretty interesting

Sun Oct 05 2008 3:59PM ReportI think the squad-based gameplay is a good idea, I've heard it a few times before. I can't really imagine any other way they could make it work, unfortunately I highly doubt they'll go the squad-based route. I hope they find a way to make a GOOD game that works!

Sun Oct 05 2008 7:19PM ReportWhat I've heard is it will be very similar to Dawn of War line, when it comes to gameplay, which is cool by me as I luv the DoW games.
I don't think it will be anything like WAR style of gameplay nor do I think it will be anything like a standard MMO, I'm pretty sure that it will be an RTS mmo style game.
just my five cents worth.
