A bit of WoW, a bit of Heretic 2 huuhh?!

By alexkx | Review Date:
After hearing many podcasts about the easy to get into PvP, or RvR as they want to call it, I finally gave in and had to give this game a go myself.

the relatively standard bits of MMOs are there - those things that make you feel like the company is sucking your soul:

-making you stare at a running animation
-killing 200 boars and delivering their hides
-moving icons around
-reading about crafting formulas
-reading and hearing people talk about nerfing and flavor of the month


However...this game looks great, it has an intensely deep amount of lore to build upon, and it has very captivating Evil vs Good team based combat - that somewhat resembles Heretic 2 team deathmatch/CTF + Diablo persistent character customization.

This game took the best of WoW, added some BF2, and brought to animation a lot of cool, funny Warhammer lore that is over 20 years old!

Definitely worth a try, but remember to bring a friend or two.
