This is going to come off wrong, but
Warhammer Online's war-for-war's-sake premise has always left me with a cold shoulder. It looks great, and the combat mechanics will be tabletop-comprehensive; no one's arguing against that. I guess I'm just asking myself that old actors' adage: "What's my motivation?" But if this video teaches you nothing else, it's that life in
WAR is fleeting. Boy, it's a smashing-good video though. This one just might seal the deal for folks that have been on the fence about
WAR, and even non-MMO fans can get a kick out of the brutal sense of battlefield humor.
Set against the backdrop of a city under siege, a devious Goblin Squig Herder, mutating Chaos Marauder, and deadly Dark Elf Sorceress (bet on her) lead the invading hordes of Destruction in the assault on the city of Altdorf. Rallying the forces of Order in defense of their capital are the noble High Elf Shadow Warrior, fiery Empire Bright Wizard, and stalwart Dwarf Engineer. To the victors go the spoils of war; to the defeated, utter annihilation.
