RS:2 Questions

[Stillyoung]

I was a dedicated 40k player until a year ago, and haven't been able to get my hands on Dawn Of War, so i am counting on this mod so satisfy my warhammer lust, so i ask, shouldn't there be more than just the Ultramarines, i know they are popular, but its the imperial gaurd that send millions to die daily, so are they gonna be in RS:S, or not?

Here is a poll 2 see what you guys think  

[Wolf]

well, i have an inckling they will be, but not playable, if player v ai is choseni think there will be bot guards helping u out, but if u want loads of races of 40k in a game, play RS1   theres currently7

[Typheron]

in a word, no.

There will only be 2 playable races in RS2 because we found in RS1 that having a lot of different races became a bit of a pain.

There may be AI IG in places depending on the senario but SMs have already been voted in as one of the races. No backtracking now.

[The Vastator]

Typheron said all.

[Stillyoung]

damn, but could i download HL:source and play rival species?, i only have HL2

[Korkonius]

If i am to say anything i for once would have to quote Typh

But since its already said ill shut up and try to be quiet...

[Typheron]

No, Rival Species 1 will only work for HL, it was made for it and wont work with any other version.

But should you get HalfLife then yes, yo can continue to play all th races we have put into it and as Bahl still has a active iterest in adding more content then more than likely the Necrons and the Tau will be also added.

i guess if it comes out with the Marines against the endless tyranid swarm gemeplay they could maybe implent something like imperial guard defending against the green horde or something like that... the possibilities are endless, but let them finish the core of the game and then if they want let them add other stuff :wink:

[Typheron]

The addition of more content will only be for the Sms or whoever wins the poll.

We on the Dev team have seen what happens when you try to satisfy everyone, you put in one more race and others demend their race added. Thus what i said about races stand there will be only ever two full races implimented. This has been heavily discussed and written in stone to ensure that it is kept to.

its sad but its how it has to be.

[blackt]

i know how it is  :wink:  i have been an active rs player (and alpha tester) for a least a year but then i had problems and a new pc and the mod faded out of my mind  :oops:

but now i found my way back :-D
but as you said:
its sad that you cant do all races with balancing them so you could play all of them... its just impossible. But it would be cool  

[JEBUS]

So wait the entire game is going to be player vs AI? I am lost now. If that is the case then it will be a future type Coop mod. Is there going to be any player vs player at all?

[ChromeAngel]

We will ahve a short poll on the game mode, once the setting is finalised.  Some of the modes we ahve shortlisted are copoperative, some are team vs team based.

[Typheron]

Actually it is not decidedm we have serveral game types for consideration that you will see on the 1st of january.

One version is Co-op, others are PvP and a few are a bit of both. You will have to wait for the full post on it, as its way more than i can list here and also dependant on the winner of the RS2 poll.

[JEBUS]

also dependant on the winner of the RS2 poll.

Well its ethier going to be orcs or nids.  I would love orcs.  Nid reminds me of starship troopers to much.

[Wolf]

depends how u make the gameplay, for xmas i asked my mummy n daddy to get me the new SST game, and i got it, yea i liked the game, but it never once reminded me of Nids v marines or 40k, 40k has a different atmosphere to SST, SST is either in a lil outpost or some sort of crummy base that allways gets overun, or in the bug hives, now for 40k u have the hole urban warfare, trenches, jungles, inside ships and stuff like that, also if u think bout it the SST marines are pussys (sorry for language) while 40k marines are the ebst of the best x 10
