Warhammer 40k mmo

[DoomyMcDoom]

solution to problem of space marines vs imperial guard, imperial guard have snipers... and more ranged armour units... and ogrins... space marines are better in close, but you can't deny the power of basilisks they kinda hurt... alot... and since they are making a warhammer 40k game they better keep the armoured assets in otherwise it becomes a pointless infantry skirmish so i mean just balance it so the imperial guard get access to more vehicular resources, and it balances guys come on think inside the big picture not just in infantry.
PS. Hellhounds much in the way of meltyness

As nice an idea as a 40K mmo is, it just doesn't add up on paper. Space marines + power amour + bolter = more powerful than anything individually bar a chaos space marine, and you're almost guaranteed they wouldn't be playable. The only way to make it even slightly balanced is to leave space marines off the playable list, but then who's going to play it? GW sales show that the SM's outsell every other army from all of their games combined, so if they were to be excluded.... there's really no way to make it balanced enough to work as an mmo.

40K would work much better as a battlefield type 3rd person shooter.

Considering the popularity of the Warhammer mmo, the 40k one is sure to go gold eventually.

I might even join in and I never mmorpg.
Any balance issues can be rectified by supplying additional resources like in the tabletop game. Sure playing a IG Sgt won't make you the most burly but what if you were accompanied by AI squad of redshirts or had access to one of the best tanks in the galaxy?

I question how the tank would work. Does it randomly pop into existence with a summons(like WoW's mounts)? Or does it just park itself outside when it's not being used?

That's probably a question better answered by MMORPGers. I imagine an airdrop or something like that (like in mercenaries) which can be used for tanks and honor guard types.

Anyone here tried Valkyria Chronicles? I would love to see a Warhammer 40K game with that style of gameplay.

i definitely believe that this game will do well if it becomes a computer-game version of 'inquisitor'- the specialist gw boardgame. if it plays like that then there will be no need to try and balance the races. low-level space marines would start with low stats and scout armour, and as they gain levels they get better stats and armour. this could work for all the races eg tau: the lowly fire warrior progresses, becoming a shas'ui, then donning one of the types of battlesuit armour, gaining better weapons and stats.

and anyway, sure, a space marine will have a bolter and power armour, but if an imperial finds a plasma gun, all they have to do is find some cover, then vaporise the marine! easy.

this game will epicaly fail if it uses the WoW unreal system of play eg; tau hits marine with railgun, marine loses 100000 health, but still has 99999899999 left. marine kills tau in close combat....ye because that is fair.

Sorry I always confuse Dark Angels with the Sisters of Battle...I think it is the dresses mixed with the lack of beards. You just don't look as manly as us Space Wolves...though I guess you are not as bad as the Ultra Smurfs. This all reminds me that I need to start working more on my Space Wolves Army and finish up my World Eaters. Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne! Whoops forget you noted the taint of heresy!

Torching Prospero on HORUS' orders, I believe...way to defy the Emperor's original order to simply apprehend Magnus...

Sanguinius held the gate of the Imperial Palace single-handedly, allowing the other Legions to regroup and rally. Not to mention slaying the Bloodthirster Lord Ka'Bandha in single combat.

HAHAHAHA Didn't sagunius DIE? If I remember correctly unlike the lion and the wolf

Hopefully they won't make it too console-esque.

I'd love to see it done as a proper RPG/FPS hybrid (Tabula Rasa and the Stargate game seem to be butchering the sub genre before it's even fully fledged)

Pfft we Wolves are overly efficient lets just ignore the fact we made an enemy of the Thousand Sons when they weren't but hey we Wolves naturally hate Psykers!

Now as to the MMO someone mentioned that you could start off as a SM in Scout Armor which is well and good but some Chapters don't start their Initiate in Scout Armor. Like the Wolves you only become a Scout after you pack has been completely destroyed and you are the lone survivor. Initiates in the SW stay on Fenris till the Black Carapace takes hold then they are in full SM tactical armor after that. Though the basic concept is good it just wouldn't work for all chapters. I also think the Black Templar don't start out in Scout Armor either I think their Initiates start with the Black Carapace and fight in combat under the tutelage of a Neophyte if I remember correctly. It could work but it would need some definite tweaking as SM and CSM are some unstoppable forces in the 40k universe with only the strongest Orks matching them in physical and combat prowess.

Aye...Sanguinius did die...but neither the Wolf nor the Lion fought Horus personally...

Sanguinius sacrificed his like to weaken Horus' defenses enough to allow the Emperor's final attack to fell the Betrayer...

But to answer to you question literally...yes, Sanguinius died...

I shall not show any further disrespect towards Wolf though...he is amongst the greatest sons of the Emperor...if slightly mis-guided

The Lion was just a paranoid nut, however...
