WAR (Warhammer Online)

www.ea.com/theater

I think i saw a hammerer in there (by accident?!)

Old build. Old Content.

This video is awesome! Awesome graphics, awesome combat that seems faced paced but not ridiculous, a perfect example of why I'll play this game and give it a fair try.

All the recent negative posts and only beta testers really know what the game is like so far.

No other game including Wow which I played in the open beta looks as good or is as exciting.

This game will NOT be perfect on release and I hope they add or fix the remaining four classes before long.

Even if they goto the drawing board its going to be fun playing a new game with new ideas.

If I was Mark J.  I'd be proud of what he's accomplished so far and hopes to achieve in the end.

For all the older mature players that have been around as long as UO and the original EQ this is a game that looks very promising.

In a few months we'll be past all of these issues and be heading for release and something new.

If you haven't experienced endless CR runs in EQ or played broken classes in wow from the begining then you don't truly know how all of these unexpected changes is problably for the better.

Alot of the mmo community or player base are young and expect the world on a silver platter.

I expect no matter what WAR is going be be fun and exciting.

THIS IS MY OPINION choose for yourself.

looks like the same gameplay as warcraft.

Hopefully most of the gameplay has darker colors. Yes the game will be great but I don't want to fight a bunch of undead in a pretty deserted, dark graveyard....wearing yellow/bright red. Actually I don't have to worry about that. I'm gonna be a Chaos Chosen. Also anyone know if this game has a server limit for classes? Like 50k for a certain class a server then you have to be something else? Well not 50k alot more, like 75-100k

noooooo...

They will have soft-cap servers.

It won't play the video for me.  The player in the center of screen just remanins a blank white box, oh well.

edit - about the 4th time I clicked the click and waited for the page to load the movie actually played.  I thought I saw some fresh footage in there nearer to the end, but it could be I just haven't seen all that's out there. 

So that's the best they can do a few months before release to promote their game? I know graphics aren't everything, but the gameplay sections look like they were made pre-2001. The spell effects still take half the screen whenever something is cast and all the characters seem fond of floating above the ground rather than walking/running on it. Combat looks as static as ever aswell and very cluncky. We are a few months from release, this video doesn't impress.

yes.

Did you think WAR was going to introduce an innovative new UI and combat system?

If so, why?

WAR is expanding the genre in the PvP (RvR) direction with many new features which I wont bother to list..  but I dont think the intention was to deviate from the core gameplay that many MMORPG's use.

DAOC  over 2 1/2 years after everquest did. The graphics wasn't that much of an upgrade in DAOC either. It was game play and great RvR system that drove that game just like hopefully WAR does.
