Of course we dont really know much more for sure, but if theres more than 2 factions (and it definitely seems like it), then thats already a huuuge plus for me.
there will be blood angels! Now I can die in peace
DId you read this somewhere else? There were no Blood Angels in that movie. Only Khorne Chaos Marines and the only Space Marine Chapter present were the Black Templars (not in their customary Black and White but you can see their Templar Cross icon).
the red power armor suits were the blood angels, I suppose.
the only alternative to the red outfit would be the world eaters, and that armors were standard imperium suits, no traces of chaos signs anywere.
Stop the video at 00:28. Not the red power armour with gold trim. Note the backpacks that are wings that end in nobs. Note the helmets with the wings that angle up. Note also the Chaos Star in gold on their left shoulderpads.
Khorne Chaos Marines (Berzerkers).
Here are Blood Angels. Note the black Blood Drop w/wings on the left shoulderpad:
"Many nights, my friend... Many nights I've put a blade to your throat while you were sleeping. Glad I never killed you, Steve. You're alright..."

yep, you are totally right, those are world eaters, not blood angels. actually on a closer second look at 0:48 you can see the chaos sign in their shoulderpads for a fraction of a sec...
ok, im trully dissapointed now, I hope they add more chapters by release...I also want to play a noise marine...and having space wolves wouldnt hurt either

I play Tau so I hope they add them. If not, then I hope they put in Thousand Sons as a CSM option.

So this is going to be a MMOFPS or a MMORPG? The info on this is scant, as VG refers to it mainly as a MMO - shows a trailer that looks like co-op fighting - may refer to itself as a MMORPG, but mentions none of the elements. Will be interesting to see what additional info comes out in the near future.
I miss the MMORPG genre. Will a developer ever make one again?
Let me say that this game will be an RPG. That needs to be said, because when someone thinks of a Warhammer 40,000 MMO there is definitely some question as to the style of play: will it be an FPS, an RTS, or some other genre altogether? Relic has the RTS angle covered with the awesome Dawn of War series - we are making an RPG.

I'm an old WH40k fan. Back in the "Rogue Trader" days of the franchise, and my Dark Angel tabletop army was Black, not this Emerald Green thing going these days . Curious to see how this pans out, because with the failure of the WAR MMO, I was concerned if it would affect the WH40k MMORPG.
I know it's still a ways off, but I'm happy to see in-game footage. Infantry, air vehicles, ground vehicles, and even small Titans (Warhound? Was never too good with the Titans). We see Orcs, different Space Marine Chapters, Chaos Space Marines, and Daemons. Wonder if they're going to throw in Eldar, Tyranid, Tau, etc. into the mix.
As far as WH40k popularity, I know in the USA it is more well known than the fantasy-based Warhammer setting. That and DOW series did well, so my guess is the anticipation would be pretty good.
Waiting to see more details of this game.

God the WoW comments start already. Look guys, WoW's artistic style (the "toony" look, green orcs, and stumpy porportions) were in fact derived from the art design of Warhammer Fantasy, which in turn begot Warhammer 40k. Both Warhammer franchises existed yeard before Blizzard created the Warcraft franchise, which itself was probably an attempt at recovering finances from a failed Warhammer Fantasy RTS.
OK that stupid oiut of the way. Holy crap. Confirmed races so far appear to be Orcs, Chaos Marines, Space Marines, and probably IG (the footage didn't make it as obvious as other races that they were players you were looking at)
Thoughts:
1) We better be able to have more chapters of Marines than the one Chapter seen. I want UltraMarines or SPace WOlves, Dangit!
2) Chaos huh? Wonder if there will be any demon player options?
3) No Eldar/Tau? What's an MMO without Elves and Dwarves?
4) Targeting Reticle...looks like another TPS/RPG hybrid, ala Tabula Rasa or Global Agenda. Hopefully better.
5) Vehicle combat too? BADASS. And I'm not an Ork fan but the Wildboy/Mekboy in the choppercycle looks too cool.
6) Titans? I hope I can pilot one, but if not, still awesome to see.
7) Dreadnaughts. And they look like they might be playable. THAT would be interesting.
8) How the heck do you balance the poor cannon fodder IG? Also, I wanna be a Commisar.
9) I wonder how travel betweren worlds will work?
10) August cannot come soon enough. I need to know MOAR.
I'm getting a APB/Global Agenda vibe from this video. I don't think it will be a traditional mmoRPG as the focus will be more on faction/unit fighting. Either way it goes I'll be giving it a spin as I like APB's style of combat once in a while to break up the traditional grind.

Well... so far, so good.
Of course we dont really know much more for sure, but if theres more than 2 factions (and it definitely seems like it), then thats already a huuuge plus for me.
I'll still keep an eye on this one for sure.

All I can say is that it looks great! This was what I was looking forward to from e3
I want my CARNIFEX!
Tyrannids where are u creepy little bugs...?
I know they are not really a good playble/soloable faction
BUT
I love them!
Is it a proper MMO like with thousands of people on one server or is it just guild wars?
F#@%K YEAH!!!!
This is what I been waiting for !
I can't wait. This looks amazing.
Just hope this one arrives soon.
Finally a proper sci-fi MMO RPG with chars, not ships.
All I can say is......... AHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh Mmmmmmmmm AHhhhhhhhh
Now that was pretty awesome. I loved the fact they used actual in-game footage for their trailer.
Can i say "AMEN!" ?

I think this officially puts the nail in the coffin for Warhammer Online. Bye bye Mythic. Hello Warhammer 40k!

That is over two years old though... a lot can change in two years.
Hope that holds true, though.

I'm not really fond of the 40K universe (nor the classic Warhammer, for that matter), but the game looks like it will be fun.
whatever the genre of mmo it's going to be
the trailer looks freakin awsome
