Yes.. Telephone poles held together by steel tubes. The best thing in the world for a child at recess. They could crack heads, dislodge teeth, and tear flesh. For decades the BigToy playground equipment taught kids the things they could not learn from teachers... What hurts and why not to do that again. All the BigToy equipment in my home town has been replaced with rubber coated shapes which have no right angles or sharp edges of any sort.
Children are being coddled by the schools because they are afraid of being sued by parents who would rather place blame than take accountability for their children. We're teaching kids to be soft and showing them that their actions don't have consequences.
I for one am really disappointed they chose Warhammer over Warhammer 40,000. I realize the extensive use of ranged weapons would have been more difficult to implement over a more mele based combat system but it would have been worth the effort. If they would have decided to push the genre further and find a way to make it work they could have broken the mold and really jumped ahead of everyone else. On the story side I disagree about the background story and races being weak. 40K has proven it's worth in it's popularity over the years.
Therefore I ask the Warhammer team: "Why have you chosen to go heat to head with WoW in this genre instead of beyond them into a more futuristic setting?" The second question would be: "Once someone else figures out how to make a MMO with more futuristic weapons and such will you then make a 40K game? Please."
