Warhammer 40k FPS

[Julio]

I thougt of a great idea! A WH40K FPS for Xbox Live!


You could be any race, according to the online match. (ex. a macragge map would be marines vs. nids.)

depending on the army you choose, the screen would appear different (it would be what the guy your using sees (through the visor?)).

Space marines' screens would be pretty much normal, a couple of radar screens and ammo counts and stuff.

Tyranids would have veins on the outside of the screen, tinted red kinda, and would have an 'ammo growth' for certain weapons (tyranids grow their own ammo i think :/)

You can go up in ranks for your most used army, and use points to purchase new things. (terminater armour, enhanced senses, searchlight for tanks, etc)

Orks could have a messed up screen, and their weapons would be really unaccurate, fast firning, with medium damage.

Tau would have weapons that well...you know...

necrons, imperial guard, dark eldar etc....

oh and there could be flamers as well, i have yet to play an xbox live fps with flame throwers.

falcon grav tanks, dreadnaughts, thunderhawks, monoliths....the list could go on for awesome vehicles.


Post your thoughts and ideas!

Try out WARHAMMER 40'000 FIRE WARRIOR
It's a FPS that was released for PC and consoles a few years ago. Not that good a game, but it's worth taking a look at, if you plan on making a WH40k-based shooter

I saw a good mod for Unreal Tounament (the old one) that looked pretty good, there was a flamethrower mod too Was a bit bad cos it was stand and shoot, any running and firing resulted in being on fire

Id personally love a co-op FPS 40K game (wow, look at all that abbreviation!) kinda like MoH or my recent addiction Enemy Territory: Quake wars

In fact, i think ET:QW would be a great engine to use, as theres different classes with skills, different vehicles etc
EG: A techpriest/marine could very easily be made from engineer class, Scouts from Special OPs etc

I wouldnt recommend playing it though, its addictive ;D

Hmm... I think there was a Firebase article (check Warseer for the Firebase e-publication) about a 40K mod for Half-Life and/or Half-Life 2 called Rival Species. Check Firebase 5 for that piece.

I've been toying with the idea, specifically something along the lines of Battlefront^^
You would have six different classes for each team (standard, heavy, assault, sniper, engineer, and special). For Space Marines that would be Tactical Marine, Devastator, Assault Marine, Scout, Techmarine, and Terminator respectively. For Tyranids it would be Gaunt, VC-Warrior, Genestealer, Spike-rifle gaunt, (engineer for Tyranids?) and Broodlord. Throw in a bunch of vehicles and stuff, and we're good to go^^ The Tyranids could have a Carnifex vehicle, which could like be in a stasis when not in use (sitting on it's haunches?)^^

Engineer for Tyranids could be a Ravener or a Lictor.

And the Halo Combat Evolved for the PC has a Flamer...nice weapon, annoying to use though

[sonofmakuta]

Well, there's Fire Warrior, but IT SUCKS. BIG TIME.

Halo has a flamethrower, though

Yeah, this sounds like a pretty good idea. Came up with something similar myself a while ago, but obviously didn't do anything about it. I'm looking forward to the release of Rival Species 2, that'll be fun (although it's just Marines vs Nids).

[zeewulf]

Hmm..the mention of modding Half-Life (Rival Species) brings back to mind the glorious days of Natural Selection. Now THAT was a good game!

[Psychodrake]

Honestly, I think if a WH40k shooter were to be done it would have to be like Star Wars: Battlefront 2.

So you start as one of a few troop types, unlock others as you progress with kills/base captures. Vehicles are laid out at the start. And if you excel in kills a hero is unlocked, or in a WH40k version, something spikey (Maybe a Hive Tyrant for nids, and if you do very well, trygon?).
Titans could be on certain maps liek?

Will never happen

[theevillemon]

how about one were your a ig lol you would suck hard. it would be fun!

Pretty much identical

[crusader]

that sounds alot like battlefront; classes, upgradeable equipment, weapons, etc. now all we need is a good mod team!

I reckon Psychodrake's got it. Battlefront had a good system for being different classes. Battlefield would be cool, but might suffer from realism issues.

[flyingspoon]

I'd say battlefield 2142 but then again i thinks it's already being made not to sure though
