Well :)

Seems EA wants to make more money from the warhammer franchise (or not as its free)

3 man team pvp arenas from the looks of it.

They've been trying to invite me to the closed beta for months.

I said no.

This is like a stripped down arena esque "theres money in esports apparently" style version of WAR.

So kinda ;)

guess theyve got to milk it for all they can before the sticky subject of renewing license from GW comes along ;)
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Quite seriously, to what extent is that true? I know for many WoW players arenas were the only thing that mattered, and judging by the number of times I suffered in PvE for a PvP tweak, Blizzard themselves certainly take it seriously.

I'm vaguely aware there are entire competitive leagues for FPS games and fighting games, with sponsorship and media coverage and the whole shebang.

Think this thing's got any legs? I mean, it was always a fairly PvP-oriented game, and tier 1 was damned fun, from memory.
