Kinda... You have Reinhardt who swings his hammer around, and every character can perform a quick, weak melee attack. There is no parry, clang or counter. Overwatch melee is really bad, but it doesn't matter as it is a clear shooter
Edit: I'll be less of a douche with this, sorry. http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Battlefield There are links at the bottom for sources. I don't feel like adding them individually. To say that Battlefield was not very popular on consoles is definitely not a true statement. Their playerbase went up dramatically with the inclusion of console games.
So again no twitch, no word on a future patch and Eldar Campaign has become soon™, we are stuck in muh-bolter simulator for even longer. Weeeheee! Fun! And why is everything going so slow? According to this: http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/q-a-answers-compilation-thread.32349/page-5 (Thx btw @Djemo-SRB for running it) The game wasn't the burner they believed to be, so they had to let a lot of people go, and we are stuck even longer with our beloved Warhammer40k - Eternal Delayed With less then 1.000 players in the game for most of the week... i totally believe this. Nathan said at least he is optimistic, let's hope he is right and gets his guys back to do something again. Sorry for the salt, but i start to get angry again...
He did say it was slowly changing though and hopes things will pick up speed again. The community could probably help a ton with this but then I doubt these forums and the likes will ever be a good advertisement for the game. I do understand the worry with that post though. If all the things proposed in that mega thread were a thing right now, I think the game would be a lot more popular. The danger is now, will they get them in in time and in the correct order to breath enough new life into the game. It's all a bit touch and go for my liking at the minute.
They didnt really let people go, they were just moved to these secret new projects bE has (we know for sure Ian was, he said it himself, so did Houman, Mathieu probably as well since he is MIA). Im guessing that EC is (sadly) low priority for bE right now, and the only way it can become a bigger priority again is if it starts making more dosh. Which it naturally wont do if the game doesent expand to be more meaningful and replayable. Going off the answers in that answer mega-batch, its something they are working on already. Granted at a deceased snails pace, but i guess it cant go faster when someone strips you of half your team.
Yeah... it's quite the malicious circle. 1. You get less people 2. Games development goes slower 3. you make less dosh 4. go to 1. But the only way to break this is to do bring something that drives in a lot of people. forum is full with suggestions and such, but if your answear is always "Framework can't hold" then switch the friggin framework
Well, you had the F2P Launch as a booster. I would have waited until the game was more polished and finished, but it seems like they had to make money fast. Now they can't launch again... i am afraid...
Normally you start with the B2P-Option to get your investment back as soon as possible. Switching later to F2P mostly indicates that your game doesn't do well. IF you launch as F2P-Game you need the all the money-grabbing-assets ready and not "later". You need tons of items for costums, content, even if I hate them but also gambling boxes if needed (SAY NO TO THEM! ).
