You heard me right! My favorite table top game is becoming an MMO.

Thoughts, comments?

Probably not going to give a crap unless it is planetside-esque, or has some form of action to it. Throwing grenades as "spells" just doesn't appeal to me.

.....When and where?

Here along with many other sites that reported it. It was announced not long after Vigil games was acquired by THQ.

First time I've heard of it...Fuck...

Lol. Late to the party. That's almost as bad as people just finding out about Alan Wake now.

Alan Wake? What's that?

HNNG

Not sure about the melee but the tiny bit of trailer I just saw made it look like the shooting is done in 3rd person and where you actually somewhat aim and not just auto lock.

Yeah I'm hoping it won't just be World of Warcraft 40K and actually be something new and different.
I'm expecting it to be lame but willing to be surprised

...How do you have a social multiplayer games with a whole bunch of different factions whose sole purpose for existing is to kill eachother, without mercy, pause, or negotiation?
Also, FOR THE EMPEROR!

You talk to your fellow marines about how best to purge the alien, the mutant and the heretic

Well, see, that's just what I'm getting at. The forces of the Imperium fight amongst themselves almost ass much as they fight the enemy. There have been numerous occasions in codex and in for-the-hell-of-it gameplay of Marines fighting Marines, Marines fighting the Guard, Guard fighting other Guard, the Guard fighting the Inquisition, the Marines fighting the Inquisition, and the Sisters of Battle indiscriminately burning everything. And the Imperium is supposed to represent ORDER.
In other MMOs, people of different races can still play together (Alliance or Horde?), and there's usually some in-story justification for why this is so. Warhammer 40K's setting is based on extreme xenophobia, so I imagine that mixed groups of players aren't happening.
That said, from what I see, it looks like there's only a few factions to choose from. I suppose there's no interparty conflict if you've only got the choice to play Marines, Orks, or Chaos.

FFFFFFFFF
the potential of roleplay. Much bigger than Eve's and much more awesome. Hope the game is brutal. no need for gore just lots and lots of immorality.
For the Emperor!
