Warhammer 40k MMO

Just saw this. The renders look amazing (I especially like the Chimera), and I've seen some artwork connected to it that looks fab as well. With a 2012 release date, it could well be the next MMO I pick up after Star Wars.

(For those that don't know, Warhammer 40k is a franchise set in the 41st millenium with huge men in super armour, space orcs who like big guns, metal skeleton robots and more.)

Ah good old 40k.

I'd be interested in hearing more about this in the future. Seeing THQ at the helm is quite promising I have to say. If Genestealers are playable then I'd probably give it a shot!

So long as its not a cookie-cutter copy of WAR I'll be happy.

Oh, and if they let me play a Rogue Trader ofc ^^

Looks promising but I hope that THQ know what they're doing. There has been much discussion about the possibility of a 40K MMO and well many have resulted in evidence against it happening being monolithic in comparisson as for it to happen.

I would very much like to see a 40.000 MMO but the only way they could probably do it would be if focus would be laid upon the Imperium of Man. There would just be to many factions present and even if they were to pull that off it would most probably become either imbalanced or just not enough people or just a vague story. When it comes to Warhammer I favour the Imperium above all else and would enjoy it very much playing as one of its troopers, inquisitors or what not.

The concept art suggests that other races than human will be possible (the orkish build on vehicles and the Waagh mark) so I'll eagerly await news on how the want to pull this off.

Sweet job bringing it up Harl, didn't know they were working on it.

Looks great, so much potential using the WH40K universe, will definately keep an eye on that one.

"There is only WAR" ?

Uh-oh.

WAR: its a massively expensive error in judgment that PvP is the most popular pull of MMORPGs - ITS NOT.

I really hope they've learned from their mistake but looking at this trailer (which I admit looks glossy and fun) it looks like WAR with guns. Where's all the Rogue Trader content? I see no Assassins sneaking around Eldar base camps or Space Marines carefully making their way through dark atmospheric Space Hulks.

I see more of WAR with different outfits.

WAR.....whats it good for? Certainly not deep immersive story lines and character development

Moved to off-topic section.

Would it be battle or 40k, Warhammer will end up as a RvR game... I probably will like to see it and test but I won't go for it. Unless I'm completely wrong... which may happen.
