Together with my good pal and colleague @_AntReynolds_ I'll be working on the narrative writing for Behaviour Interactive's Eternal Crusade.
Enjoy. ;P
and just like that I went from mildly optimistic to actually excited

Combat appeared to have a very Space Marine-esque pace and feel. That couldn't make me happier, I thought they nailed the ever so over-the-top feel of everything.
That, and that chainsword execution was amazing. Once stuff like that gets the final touches....
Yeah, because that's all there is to it, it's just Space Marine.... OR you could read about what they're doing with the game and why it was voted most innovative MMO at E3 2013 by mmorpg.com But hey, it's just exactly a clone of Space Marine.
People posting negatively are just something we have to deal with. For some reason "hyping" anything nowadays is frowned upon and it seems like a lot of people have been "burned" by their own convoluted expectations that they talk everything down afterwards. These people usually buy the game, play it for a month, get mad they can't beat it or beat it too fast and move on which is fine by me. Anyway, this game is shaping up nicely and anything "more" that they add to it is just a bonus, all you positive thinkers out there keep up the good work and continue to support the community.

When was the last time a game in this genre was actually successful after 1 year? I'm not being negative I'm being realistic. After two years this game will evolve into pay to win, with bonus freemium content.
To all you people on the hype train I'm gonna be sending you messages asking you why the game is mediocre, with no community 3 months after release.

Nice stance change. First it was a space marine clone, now you're just saying it won't be successful because of the genre, and ignoring your own point, which implies either stupidity or trolling or both.
Personally I am remaining open minded about the game, because I haven't played it yet. It could be great, mediocre or awful.
Judging it so early is idiotic.

Explain to me how this is going to be a MMORPG, are you going to have space marines off on there own, no squads, are they part of deathwatch?
Why would a space marine be on his own doing his own thing.
It doesn't make any sense, it's just going to be space marine with more people.
Show me Tau, IG, Eldar races that could actually have RPG elements to them.
Space Marines are already perfect, I just don't see a space marine doing quests and upgrading gear.

Even though it's not going to be an MMORPG, it's an MMOTPS (Third Person Shooter).
They will have squads and such too. Just read the info.

I was just going to say he can enjoy his Space Marine, while the rest of us at least give this super-sized, multiraced free-ish Space Marine a shot. Mostly because while I liked Space Marine it was terribly anemic. They had a great idea, but felt like it was missing half the game if not more. If this is the more then I would probably be happy with that as it is.

Looking at it from another perspective, that's a year (or...two years, or three months, I'm kinda getting mixed messages on the time frame) of chainswordy fun. And that's at the most pessimistic viewpoint!
There's much, much worse they could have built on than Space Marine. Still keeping a weather eye on this one.
Its because ordinance is still a word.
However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.
I know what you mean PredaKhaine, I thoroughly enjoy playing through Space Marine on the hardest difficulty (still haven't beaten it on the hardest setting yet) and I still enjoy online play when it is running smoothly. I really am a 40K fan and just enjoy being able to experience it in other ways and not just the table top. That's why I am looking forward to this next experience with the 40K universe.

I stand corrected. That's just dumb. I guess they're using the term as it's easily recognised, but in the interviews with Miguel Caron I have seen he has stated it's not an RPG.
Automatically Appended Next Post: They're doing an AMA on Twitch right now. http://www.twitch.tv/40kcrusade I'll ask them about the RPG thing.

I play Space Marine on the PC and PS3, but I pretty much shelved my PS3 copy to continue playing on the PC. The gameplay is just so much better overall. That's off topic though, so I apologize. I have noticed a considerable decrease in discussion over here since they have opened their own forum even though I think DAKKA DAKKA is better.

Except this game won't be free to play and the devs have stated it'll be an IP you buy and permanently own, no subscription. And that any items bought in the store that were not earned or found on the map will be 20% weaker. So no, not only will it be very much alive, if it lives up to its word, it'll actually punish you for cutting in line in the long run.

I wonder how will they balance races (guardsmen vs space marines? hmm) and weapons (its not gonna be much fun with everyone running around with plasma guns, meltaguns and Emperor knows what else).

I like this.
Also, I suspect Guardsmen will be NPCs only. It will be rather difficult to balance Guardsman VS Astartes 1v1, honestly. It is a bit unfluffy and CoD:y (War is not fair!) and the devs seem keen on keeping the game lorefriendly.
Bending over and violating the fluff does not seem like something they would do.

They've mentioned IG tanks before, so I think that Guard are going to be in at some point. And it is the IG, they're a hugely popular army. I expect that they'll be in somehow.
Though, yes, exactly how to get them in is somewhat problematic, since the average IG trooper does indeed pale in comparison to the troops of every other race. The two ways to address this that I've seen are to either give every IG player a squad of NPC helpers, or to make the Guard a second FTP faction, with the FTP players being the standard IG troops.

Or, don't give an option to be a "standard" trooper. Personally, I'd much rather be a Commissar, psyker, storm trooper, ogryn, etc. than a "standard trooper" especially since, I'd be willing to bet that their guardsman model uniform would be Cadian.
