Since when has GW cared about balance? since veteran IG games bought guns

Heheh, Joe Madureira...
I could tell, that cartoony look the trailer has. That is Joe Madureira.

Ok...this game looks very promsing. I saw the pimp.tv video....and a few things...
A: The chick is freaking hot! B: Saw some IG in the video trailer so I might actually buy this game. C: That was a cool ork costume.
Also saw the full game trailer.. I think I saw a guy shooting a autogun and i think i saw a techpriest and a whitch hunter or Deamon hunter in that trailer. I like the idea someone on here said about having some NPC buddies when you have an IG character. Maybe have a seargent and you control a squad of IG NPC's. That would be cool.
My guess is that you would bescialy use higher up's IG characters like Officers or Storm Troopers. Kind of Like Warhammer Online. Instead of being a mere pikeman or swordsman from the Emnpire, you were a Warrior Priest or Witch Hunter. Something like that could happen in 40k online.
This might actually be a game I'll both buy AND play. Bought Down Of War 2 but haven't played it yet

I would love the idea of being a platoon commander and commanding my 50 npc guardsmen to do my biding. And if its a MMO it would be like
- "You trooper, dig that hole and search for treasure." - "You go to the store and buy me a bolter and carapace armour." - "You 20 men go kill that 2 headed monster and collect its hides and other pickups"
Nice. I could make so many more of these. Plus I saw I Titan in one of those trailers must be a scout one it looked quite small.

Yeah, it was a Warhound. I've been trying to figure out if it was Chaos or Imperial. Wonder how they're going to implement them in-game. I can think of one way that would actually make them work in normal PVP (not some specialist siege area) though it would be kind of complex. Also, this needs to be here:

And once again someone insists on turning a lovely series of games into a crappy, super-special-awesome-mega-heroic MMO. They've already killed Kotor, Elder Scrolls and the future of any WHFB games.
Yay. In fairness I wouldn't mind the game so much if it wasn't for the two things that ruin all MMO's: Being super-special-awesome, and the imbeciles running around. I'd never play a MMO that I take seriously, heh.

The trailer looked awesome imo. Thought I saw Grey knights at the end of the trailer but weeped quietly when i hit pause and realised they'd simply messed up the black templar colour scheme! Silver black templars FTW!!!!

Dark Millenium online trailer - I think I could have a reasonable amount of fun playing this Warhammer 40k online - ... er... I'll stay here thanks... I could quite easily believe that you'd be able to play a Guardsman - there'd be a huge range of possibilities for you to follow: simple one man "suicide" mission (not that it would actually be suicide ofcourse), getting together with friends online/joining a mission that results in you being part of a squad in a battle, working your way up the command structure to actually command squads/platoons etc. Just 3 possibles (and not that great examples either). My main concern would be less of whether Guard/"normal" humans would exist and more whether you'd be able to play as bounty hunters/rogue traders/inquisitors/etc?

I believe that an MMO as a standard guardsmen would be boring:
You are given a lasgun.
You spend almost a year getting to your battle field.
You have arrived, get ready to kill xenos!
Game over, you were killed.

I could see Bounty Hunters, but RT's would be a game to itself, and possibly very much like EVE in format. Inquisitor's, while awesome...would be...well...pretty sweet, but a little tough to implement. Maybe an Inquisitorial acolyte or agent?

Maybe you could start as an acolyte and work your way up to Inquisitor - career progression Good point on the RT's - afterall, they're more moving around in their spaceships investigating things...

Maybe, but =][='s also hold a lot of power, and would probably make the Space Marines cry their tears made of gold laced rubies.
