Completely remove the players character (avatar) from the PvP side. Now, take all the4 starter "Dreadnought" classes: Eldar Wraithlord, Space Marine Dreadnought, Chaos Space Marine Forgefiend/Maulerfiend, and Orc Deff Dread and utilize them into PVP only. This frees up the balance needed in the open world PvE side by players wanting to play a Wraithlord for example. With the supposed Warlock-Wraithguard combo for example, the Warlock has a pet. The Wraithlord is so advanced, you would not give control to a Warlock or Psyker. So in PvP the player takes his characters "stats" and transfers them into the bodies of the given Dreadnought. In a sense replacing their PvE questing armor with the Dreads armor and stats that would be improved via PvP. Balance can then be adjusted to where each races Dread has their specific stats, weapons and points or whatever system of improving them happens, I suggest using something akin to SWTOR Closed Beta for socket stat increases, that players can craft or obtain through PvP. Maybe even look at Mechwarrior or Hawken for ideas of advancement. I personally think players will want to have these classes in the game, and one way is to take them and sperate them from the players avatar.
PvP is not a side, it's the majority of the game. People will lose their minds if you try and tell them they can only PvP with a Dreadnought. Not only is this idea so far removed from the lore and fluff, it would be boring. Crafting has been spoken too, and the majority is happy with the 'upgrade' system that has been described. Honestly, your idea would not be a bad one, if it were not so far removed from what has been told to us about the game already. I suggest reading up a bit more about what the devs has confirmed for the game already, and then take another shot at your idea.
The only reason I took his post even somewhat seriously was the fact that he is a new member. Some times people get so excited about getting their post count up, they don't do searches etc. If he is just trolling he wont' be here log enough to enjoy it.
Did you hear?! The new halflife has been confirmed! and the the best platform out right now too.... the Wii U!
Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about. According to some people on this forums any form of console play is absolutely useless and should be avoided.
