Close combat! Thread - Warhammer 40000: There Is Only War

I've heard that you guys might be planning to have the Orks use choppas and the Guard use sidearms. Like in the tabletop game, a lot of models use a pistol and a chainsword/choppa or whatever. So maybe the Orks could get sort of like a 2 in 1 weapon where they get a pistol in one hand and a choppa in the other, it could be like left click to shoot and right click to chop. And for the Guard, lasgun troops could right click to stab with a bayonet or sergeants/stormtroopers could have their laspistol in one hand and a chainsword/knife in the other. Don't know if you're planning to let the Guard get up close and personal but I know you'll defininetly want the Orks to have something like this.

thats awsome for the orks, sounds like pure win, howevwer for the guard tis just the stormtroopers who have swords, but i love it

of course the guardsmen are going to get up close, THEY'RE F***ING CATACHAN,

suggestion:

for guardsman storm troppers/seargents:
left click; shoot
right click; stab/slash/melee generalized
middle mouse; iron sights for gun.

also, is it possible for us to use a melee system like AOC for swings?

eventually and im talking after the perfected release, plans are to do a melee system

yeah okay, you mean like in an update yeah? if we can be bothered to keep progressing the mod once its released that is... although I can say it would be fun to keep making map packs and making improved versions of my previous maps, because then I can see how the gameplay progresses and adapt, hopefully making better maps than were there before. still, this is very early to be talking about this stuff so its pretty ridiculous. lets just focus on doing the basics first and see what happens.

lol savant i forgot, this mod is starting with 2 teams, but when its "done" there will be every army in the 40k universe as playable, that means 10 unique teams, a way down the road, then when making maps, the owner would pick a spawn specific to a race/team to match em up

gonna be hard work, but once we get going people will likely join to help out

but only one race will be fighting the other at a time right? or is this gonna be like, 10 actual teams on one map at once with 10 bases or free-for-all or what?

we are gonna release this with just the two teams first right? then add updates in later versions? like ya know, the Space Marine update coming soon! or whatever.

nope 1 on 1, however mappers will be able to choose the matchups

so you mean, I could decide to make a IG vs. space marine map (lol like that would ever happen but u know what i mean) or a dark eldar vs. eldar map or a chaos vs. tyranid map? unless i made like a generic battlefield where any team could play against each other.

exactly
