Never mind. FAQ is up now. No FPS Guess I wont be playing. This is truly disappointing. This game is so made to be FPS. Too bad they wont give us the option. I love the Warhammer IP and have been playing it since I was a kid (40K and Fantasy Roleplay, online... ect). Some of you may think me harsh, or knuckleheaded, but for me, I so prefer FPS and was hoping tirelessly for this game to have it. Oh well! Hahaha!
The melee combat style simply don't fit a FPS And doing fps and tps eats lots of money since you need way more animations Also it will be hard to balance
Also the fps models would needto be made, rigged, animated, coded properly When all of that could be dedicated to more important things that have to be in the game
FPS melee most of the time only works for singleplayer or coop game, Killing Floor 2, Vermintide, L4D, Fallout, etc... In case of multiplayer, there are very few games that can make good FPS melee, TF2 has it but not very good, the only one being exceptional right now is Chivalry, but it has a unique element that makes the melee system viable, you fight with sword and axe 99% of the time in that game. There is another good example which is Jedi Academy, but it has FP view for shooter and TP view for lightsaber, and lightsabers are completely OP. At the same time, there are also not many games that can make good TPS melee in a multiplayer format, Gears of War has some melee but not really amazing. THQ's SM melee is very good in the campaign, but on the other hand pretty dull in the multiplayer. However, making melee in multiplayer TPS is generally easier, that's why bE is sticking to it.
