End of Nations [MMORTS]

[Devec]

I didn't see a thread about this game yet and I have to say it slipped my radar until a few days ago.

End of nations is an upcoming MMORTS developed by former Westwood Studios employees who have continued under the name Petroglyph (producers of Star Wars Empire at War and Universe at War). The game revolves around either taking it up with several players against a NPC enemy or taking it on against other players with a system revolving around territorial warfare. The game will be published by Trion Worlds (the guys who published Rift).

The game itself will be f2p however it will offer a subscription for extra convenience (few details on what it is) and a cash shop which will offer pretties and no special weapons or units (read no pay to win). However the currency in the cash shop can also be earned through playing the game therefore not excluding those who don't want to pay. Still as a free player you get access to everything including the territorial warfare part.

A short list of features so far:
- Free to play everything
- PVE Co-op campaigns
- PVP Territorial warfare
- Two playable factions, one npc faction
- MMO Progression
- Customisable classes
- 50 players in one battle

For more info they have a website

Release date: TBA

The visual style looks retarded, and the units look stupid aswell, which is a shame cause i really really want to play something like this, but i just cant understand why people feel the need for making RTS games with mechanical units fighting literally at point blank range. Its fucking gay and makes me want to punch the devs in the face.

[evil edna]

looks truly awful

[RazoR]

I'd play the shit out of MMO C&C: Generals.

[Armag3ddon]

It has Frank Klepacki doing the music..... will play.

You can either have units fight at close range and the game is zoomed in to admire the art work or you can give the units realistic ranges and be zoomed out to fuck with the units as little x's because a tank that shoots 4 miles isn't big enough to see on a screen showing more than its range so the game play doesn't suck.

I thought the random Command & Conquer unit death scream was funny.

Other than that NOT A CARE.

There is no fucking artwork to admire. The game looks shit.

How does an RTS MMO even work?? Surly its just a big RTS game where people can just join at random times.....

Edit: Nevermind, I watched that last video.

I'm trying to imagine how incredibly annoying it would be to play in the same game as 50 other neckbeards, and having to wait 10s each time one of them drops or fails to synch with the server.

Lots of bitter in this thread.

While I suspect hilariously catastrophic failure, I suspect it will come from the playerbase/gameworld/MMO portion rather than the straight fighting.

Westwood never managed to iterate on the RTS.. This looks more of the same TBH.. And absolutely massive maps with 'heaps' of players has been done before. Its not as much fun as it sounds..

[Hehulk]

Just found out for anyone else who cares, beta registration has begun.

[RazoR]

How the fuck do you register anyway?

I have found out that i can't access my account, made a new one in just 3 minutes of my anyway useless life. Ok.

Have been in the private testing of this since August. I really am loving how they are handling our feedback, its coming together and I think it has the potential to really define MMORTS.
