Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

I would love it if it was WW2 and I could get in a massive dogfight in a Spit over London, 500 guys in A/C screaming all over the place. Hells yeah!

maybe not flying but certainly heading in the general direction of the mmmfps or whatever it is --> http://www.1944d-day.com/

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

Sorry but I don't want to see that or think about that. BF series is my favourite FPS series and I don't want them to make my accuracy, skill,...etc. depend on some stupid skill points.

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

I would love it to be like WW3 or something, in which the weapons used are neither sci-fi or modern something like 30-40 years from now that would be nice.

i'll give u 20 years

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

thats the thing, if you are certified to fly a plane, you will always have a plane waiting for you.

In Planetside, vehicles were "generated" in much the same way as the replicators in Star Trek. You walk up to a panel, say "Figher Plane" and the vehicle creation pad makes you a plane and you spawn inside of it. No waiting in line unless the pad is packed with people and you get into a vehicle creation queue... which happened but wasnt a big deal.

Also, Nukes would be silly in a game like this, fuel-air bombs on the otherhand, maybe. Planetside had "Orbital Strikes" which were beams of explosive energy that came from satalites orbiting the planet. They could be used by commanders to clear an area of enemies before their side attacked it.. Like an airstrike or arty strike basically.

I'm tellin ya, BF3 should be an MMOFPS. For real.

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

drool......nukes will be my chosen weapon, wahahahaha

anyways, different armies with its own strength and weaknesses and also the fact that u join the server and u have 500 n00bs waiting to sit infront of ur plane....=/ not my dream world ladies, however if made and successful, i will support it....just go easy on the hardware k? battlefield 2 nearly sent my computer into the freezer

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

Yeah but I wouldn't really care as the fights can be fun sometimes.

See, my thing is that you cant have a WW2 themed game like this because that allows the Nazis to be the more popular faction and to eventually "win" the war... That'd just get ugly in the forums and in-game chatter...

thats just my opinion though. MMO games need to be based in fictional environments to avoid such discussions as "The Nazis kicked your ***"

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

Well anything that incorperates more than 500+ people at once will be fun
then the term Weapon of mass Destruction will mean something

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

A BF2 themed MMOFPS wouldnt work because the politics of having real armies at war with eachother would be a little ridiculous... the 2142 "universe" sets the table perfectly, however.

Fake armies, fake territories, fake borders, its all so attractive.

The cool thing about Planetside was that the armies had different styles and theories on weapon design... one was very futeristic, alien based with beam weapons and hovering tanks, one was slow firing, heavy hitting, one was rapid-firing, with lighter damage per shot... each army had its own "personality". It was so tight...

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

Create an army and destroy the world! I like this idea.

Massively Multiplayered Online First Person Shooter.

It usually involves tens of thousands of people playing all on the same server, just in different regions of the world/realm/whatever.

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

Whats a MOFO-fps?

Re: Battlefield 3, the MMOFPS.

Mythic Entertainment actually got their starts making an Multiplayered First Person Shooter Game, with strong RPG elements. I believe it was called Magestorm? Actually a lot of it's old battlesystem was transfered over into the PvP aspect of Dark Age of Camelot, which explains why PvP there was always so fun and intense back in the olden days.

Currently though, Mythic is swamped with the tall-order known as Warhammer Online, so I wouldn't hold my breath regarding any other possible projects from Mythic, they really aren't that big of a company.

At least not as big as the Frenchies at Blizzard.
