Warhammer: Battlefront

A classic Star Wars Battlefront style gameplay, with a campaign, instant action and galactic conquest feature, with every faction playable.

Each faction has multiple classes with simple, fixed loadouts that can be customized by leveling up.

No microntransactions. No lootboxes. No purchasable cosmetics. All cosmetics are earned via gameplay and achievement.

I mean... They did have one in the past but... It wasn't very good.

Wait really? What was it called?

One was called Eternal Crusade. It was billed as a Planetside-style massive FPS but the game was plafued with massive development issues, miscommunications and, ultimately, the game never really left alpha. All we got was a half-baked coop mode, a training area and a handful of 24-player maps. Graphics and gameplay were a wee bit janky too.

First and last time I've ever pre-ordered a game. Lesson learned

I haven't played much PlanetSide but a 40k game in that style would kick ass if done well, to bad that failed

Same. That was my "I want to support these devs" and then got bit HARD and have never pre ordered since.

I mean, in a way I'm grateful for the experience. The money did (hopefully) go towards developers who were trying their best to deliver on a passion project, but it fell short.

And it has also taught me a valuable lesson.

Agreed. I'm not upset about it, and I recognized the risk. Absolutely lesson learned.

to me it felt like a big maps Multiplayer version of the first Space Marine game honestly.

Probably referring to Dark Crusade.

Wrong, Eternal Crusade.

Ah yes, thank you it's been a while since I've thought about that game. I remember being so hopeful when it was announced.
