I don't think it's that the Orks are zerg so much as they exist solely for war, which is pretty interesting. Are they really evil or just destructive?

They aren't exactly evil. They're more like a force of nature which kicks the ass of everything it encounters.
In a way Orc society is perfect though. Since everyone is happy with their lot in life. Alaan fucked around with this message on 10-09-2006 at 12:08 PM.

Tarquinn had this to say about Cuba:
Also, Warhammer Orcs are mushrooms.
Hence why they're like the zerg.
As you fight em, they release spores from their bodies, so even if you wipe em all out, they'll be back in a few months looking to kick your collective asses again, with possibly an even bigger force.
It's probably the reason why Orks exist in WH40k.

Alaan spewed forth this undeniable truth:
When an Orc is "born", it has a function built into it. Right from the start that Orc knows its going to be a Choppa Boy. But he also loves being a Choppa Boy. It just so happens most of the Orc functions involves using the Axe2Face protocol.In a way Orc society is perfect though. Since everyone is happy with their lot in life.
I didn't think orcs liked being pushed around by other orcs though.
As far as I know, orcs are pretty damn chaotic. The biggest orcs lead, and the smaller orcs kinda follow, though if they're given the slightest chance, will kill every other orc around them.

Makes sense to me; orks have to come from somewhere and I sure as hell wouldn't want to have sex with them.
Add that one to my list. I love Sonic games.

Speak for yourself, queer.
Also, I believe that the R:TR people are working on a rather insane mod for BI, that cocks the map 30 degrees to include Sub-Saharan Africa, the Horn of Ethiopia, the entire Arabian peninsula, about half of Scandanavia, and way off in the corner, India. Should be interesting to see how I split my gaming time between two equally demanding and awesome games.

The WH40K "Space Orks" are the genetically engineered warriors of a now extinct race. They live to fight and conquer, it is programmed into them. They know nothing else.
Each Space Ork is also a minor psyker, the more orks that gather the stronger their combined will and lust for conquest becomes (known to orks as the WAAAAAGH). They have a huge presense in The Warp because of this and the Ork gods, Gork and Mork, have such a force of will that the Chaos Gods fear them.
Yeah, I used to play Space Orks. I know too much of this crap.

That's kinda sad to hear.
Since really all they'd need to do is take Sonic Adventure 1 or 2, take out most of the other characters, kick up the graphics and make harder levels, and they'd have a kick ass Sonic game.
But it's like Sonic Team can't do that, like they don't quite have the talent to do such a thing any more. It makes me sad, seeing how much Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and now this are all crappy.

"Orks is made for fighting"
In both WH and 40k the orks are not so much evil as they more like a force of nature, they fight and destroy for the sake of fighting. Even the Goblins in WH dosn't seem so much as evil, just petty and selfish.
From what I have read of Mark of Chaos, they are following alot of the current concepts in the Table top games. you start with a small warband, that over time you build up.
I am rather looking forward to WAR, with the GWS thrown into it's devolpment, it looks to be spiffy.

A sleep deprived Willias stammered:

But it mentions they will be a playbable race, just not an army in of themselves.
Armies are Chaos, Empire, Skaven, and High Elves.
As mentioned on the website, Warhammer: Mark of Chaos
quote:
Faithful to the Warhammer® World, Warhammer®: Mark of Chaos™ puts the focus squarely on the battlefield with a real-time combat system that gives the player unprecedented customization and control of his army.An epic battle rages following a brutal Chaos invasion, where four fully playable armies (Empire, Chaos, Skaven, and High Elves) as well as additional controllable races (Orcs, Dwarfs, Vampire Counts, and Goblins) clash on a massive battlefield.

Heh. Reminds me of the time I farted in the kitchen. When Lyinar walked in, she immediately passed out and hit her head on the counter.
She had to get a couple stitches from that. I like to call it an "Orc attack."

Speaking of upcoming things. Already sales for PS3s on eBay!
I flew down the road running 70 in the right-hand lane, slid into a parking spot in front of EB Games, and ran for the door. I was missing a shoe.
As I reach for it, it opens of its own free will. A small, fat, old woman and her shit-eating son waddle out. The kid's hooping and hollaring, making a total douche of himself.
I look past them to the clerk, who is holding the door open. He sees me, wallet in hand, shoe missing, shirt hastily thrown on, and he knows.
He knows.
He looked back to the counter, then to me, and shook his head. I turned around and walked away.
Fission Mailed.

I think this is that nasty thing about trying to distinguish Warhammer from Warcraft, because orcs should be a playable race, it is like one of the primary and founding army/races for both WH and 40k. I get the feeling the Brettonions are left out because they would look too much like the Alliance.
It is kinda annoying, but GWS brought this upon themselves for ignoring computer and video games for so long.
