Has anyone played/got this game? Unfortunately i am a gamecube owner and cannot get it as it is for ps2

Just wondering if its any good etc

I havent played it myself yet, but I have heard it isnt a touch on the other GW games, looks very like a polished Final Liberation from what Ive seen.

It's a FPS.

Saw a clip when I flicked through some games channel on telly. Looked a bit... Lacking, somehow.

I hope it's good though. a WH40K FPS has so much potential...
The Imperial Guard could be used in a Medal of Honour beachlanding style thing, and so on.

/me waits for the day they do a Thief-esque one from the point of view of an Imperial Assassin...

O, its an FPS? whats that one then, was released a while back, with an Avatar on the front of it? I was thinking of the wrong game

Spacehulk? I had it on the 3D0 and it was brilliant, really intense and for the time, technically brilliant.

I think you mean Rites of war, 'twas a turn based strategy thing with Eldar and Tyranids. What was it based on, Battle Isle I think?

Anyway, http://www.firewarrior.com/ has a little info on it. It's available to pre-order now, for the PS2 first, I think.

Yea Rites of War, thats the one I was thinking of, silly me.

Had a look about that site - looks like a nice game graphically, wonder what it plays like tho, if it will be you vs the hoards, or will it be you in a squad of tau given orders and whatnot? (i had a quick look only

). Could be good enough Id say, or could just be another run around and blast fest like so many other games these days (the best recent blast fest was Serious Sam really, the rest have just tried to mix realism with blasting).

Yea, i always thought that a 40k mod for hl would be leet... until they released one... Rival Species... Its so crap.

I always wanted one where you could choose your race, class, wepon etc
omg i'd so be a Dark reaper exarch with missile launcher

... or a Hive tyrant with venom cannon!

Never see that on HL im afraid, for a start the graphics engine wouldnt be able to do a half decent looking Hive Tyrant, and ontop of that the weapon limit would cripple the whole Warhammer feel, HL can only handle a maximum of 32 weapons, you'd go through 32 weapons in 3sides easily, and on 3 teams thats only 10 weapons each.

I played Rival Species myself - it was a dissapointment for sure, the models dont look right, the weapons dont feel right, and graphically on the whole the maps are pants (and tiny). Dreadnaughts look pretty cool tho, Wraithlord looks weedy tho, far too weedy.

Has that game got an objective? for some reason when we pld it on lan we just killed eachother then started spawning as eyeballs etc...

Pugsley · 11-09-2003 8:38pm

The maps have an objective if you actually bother to read them

Mostly its 'bring this to here' or 'kill this thingy', nothing overly hard really, its mainly just a Deathmatch unfortunately - they could have made such a great MOD out of this if they went that extra wee bit and done everything properly.
