Warhammer 40k MMO to be fully revealed this summer

If there's no TAU playable class, I won't buy. I'm sick of the Space Commies getting shoe-horned into a 3rd sequel of a 6 year old game.

Tau need to be in DoW2.

Tau need to be in the WH40K MMO, and not as a pack of mobs to grind through.

I agree. More races than marines would be good. Different types of Human would be good too ie. Sister Of Battle, Guardsman, Inquisitor ect.

The Eldar and Tau would make great playable races, but I'm not sure how some of the "mindless" races like Tyrandis or Necrons could be anything but mobs. There is a Warhammer40k RPG called Dark Heresy, and you can only be humans. It kinda gets tiresome after awhile.

My favorite army is Chaos Space Marines, but i have the feeling that wont happen.

For Tyranids, it would be simple... have it work like a pet class... you play as a Hive Tyrant or Tyranid Prime, or one of the other "Higher" synapse creatures that have a degree of autonomy and intellect, and you can command lesser Tyranids like termagaunts and raveners, etc.

Higher levels would give ya higher "summons" (Who wouldn't want to summon a Trygon or a Mawloc?)

Really? I think they are starting to release information far too early. Since we don't have a release date in 2012 we have to assume its near the Holidays. So it will be a full 2 years of hype and over hype until release.

SWTOR is doing the exact same thing(Announced Oct 2008, releasing spring 2011 so a little over 2 years)
WAR was only in development for 3 years and didn't start hyping until a year into development.

2 years is a long time to keep hyping something and giving information out. I think FFXIV did it right. They were quiet then suddenly popped up and then beta was starting. 1 year-1.5 years is the most I think you can really hype a game before it starts to fade, look at SWTOR. That community took a huge blow when spring 2011 was given.

Yeah I could have done with THQ staying silent until mid-2011. I'm keen to hear more about this game, but it's too early for solid info about gameplay and I'm really sick of MMOs being overhyped too soon - most can't deliver on their hype - and things can change in development/beta, so early hype rarely reflects the launch game that well.

I just pray that this will be an MMOFPS, because there is no way that the ploddingly slow stat-based gameplay of "traditional" MMOs like WoW/EverQuest could ever properly represent combat in the WH40K universe (unless they make it an MMORTS, and as much as I like RTS games I hope they don't) - this needs to be more like Planetside, based mainly on player skill and with character levels/skills adding flexibility more than power - but with added depth and maybe some PvE.

Please THQ give us a 6-way multi-planet conflict (with each planet having multiple battlefields/territories) between the Imperium (Marines/Battle-Sisters & Imperial Guard), Chaos Marines, Eldar, Orks, Dark Eldar and Tau - with Necrons and Tyranids as NPCs who get inflicted on whichever two factions are most populous and/or leading the overall conflict (as a balancing mechanism).

Chances are it'd be more Warhammer Online with robots.

I'd still play it.

Please don't start with the comparrisons to warharmmer. It's a different company and a different IP.

It... it really isn't THAT different of an IP.

Didn't you know? Pages from Battlechasers #10 are hidden in Darksiders.

Really!

Same here. There are a few games I've been waiting for so long, I'm almost sick of them already. I'm looking at you, The Secret World. I really wish people would wait longer to release info if they don't plan on releasing the game for a few YEARS. There's only so much suspense and hype I can take!
