i would also love to see a battlefield style 40k game. now i don't actually like the battlefield games but i appreciate that they are excellently made games (same goes for cod).

it could be a 1st or 3rd person perspective shooter, but in the vein of battlefield you would have rhino's, predators, bikes etc, as well as stormravens, jetfighters etc, all whizzing about.

if it was only a space marine game then it could be set in the heresy, or in the present with loyalists vs renegades. preferably there would be other races in which case it would probably work best as a 3rd person game - i'm thinking of the disparity in abitilies between, say, marines vs dark eldar or deamons; marines works fine as a 1st or 3rd person shooter with a little bludgeoning on the side, but d.eldar, deamons (and maybe 1 or 2 others), would need a fairly in-depth close combat system to accurately portray those particular skills, and to show why they are so easily harmed (relatively speaking) when shot - 'cause when they get close they've won :)

i have no illusion that battlefield is an awesome game but i don't like 'real world' war games. if, however, it was battlefield 40k then that could possibly be the greatest game of all time.

thought for the day - what if GW teamed up with battlefield's creators to make, a lore accurate as well as a brilliantly made game, of battlefield 40k?

.....i'm already salivating :)
