Eternal Crusade (PC)

[Joe]

You'd think people would realise by now not to expect a quality Warhammer game from anyone other than a AAA developer. To add to that it's rather amusing that the game is practically dead before it's even launched on other platforms.

 

I liked the design process behind Eternal Crusade, and the level of armour customisation they included, however the fact that it just seemed to be a Space Marine clone didn't really appeal to myself and apparently many others in the end.

 

Oh well. At least the armour files are available on Garry's Mod.

[Chaplain Lucifer]

The problems were that the game started as a MMOPRG and many were looking forward to it and what they got was a Space Marine clone with more factions and a "narrative" campaign.

I know I was super excited for the MMORPG and when they changed direction (and leadership) but kept asking money my wallet stayed closed... And many stayed closed or didn't open anymore.  IMHO the downfall started right there: Not delivering what was promised.

I don't think EC ever truly branded itself as an MMO, the comparisons even from the first E3 when the news came out were in line with Planetside 2. Maybe you're thinking of Dark Millennium Online?

I dug up Valrak's most recent video, if anyone fancied joining the rest of us in this salty quagmire.

If anyone is out there we need Space Marine players to rofl stomp the living Gork out of vile Orks... we need numbers to bolt them out of existence

I'll get round to playing again...soon^TM

Finally, things are looking bright for the game, with the latest announcement (Steam Workshop) I can finally see a future for Eternal Crusade. I'm hoping with this announcement it will bring people back to the game and give us tons of new content! Hope you enjoy the video.

This game should have just been Horus Heresy.

 

Easy to balance. Hundreds of cosmetic stuff.

 

Campaign map where you could fight on a few maps to conquer a planet.

 

Conquer Terra for Traitors/ push back traitors for loyalists.

 

Boom profit

Anyone in Canada playing this?

I'm going to be honest.

Super happy with it but it might be too little too late. :/

 

Still gonna play like hell.

[Prot]

Is anyone still playing this?

 

I admit Mechanicus has most my attention but I do miss this game for a quick FPS.

[Sete]

I play once in a while, but this game feel to short of what it could have been.

 

They should have gone HH with it.

Just SM vs SM. Easier to balance, :cussloads of chapter specific stuff to sell, add maps all across the galaxy.

HH was barely a thing when they started pre production of the game.

It’s a shame really what happened. When the game came out it was so buggy and mediocre that almost everyone that tried it left soon after. Then over the next year or so the devs managed to patch and update the game to a point where it was actually something pretty great. Iv sunk literally hundreds of hours into it, so I’m pretty sad to see it in the state that’s its in.

Not to thread necro but I hear some people still play this. I do miss it and it's simple mechanics, and run and gun style really did hook me. I miss the barbie aspect of it too.
