new game idea

[flippy199]

A few years ago, Command and Conquer: Renegade was released. I bought it thinking that it was like regular C&C, and rts except that you could play as a soldier in addition to building a base. It turned out to pretty much suck. You couldn't build a base or vehicles or anything, you just fought in what was basically a crappy fps.

I think that had the game been what I thought it was, it would have been awesome. Its my opinion that BF2 is an excellent fps and that the original command and conquer was the best rts. I think a sweet *** game would be something that combined them both.

The commander in bf2 is basically useless. But if he could build base defenses and vehicles to be manned by players on the ground, he wouldn't be. Instead of losing tickets if your team has less bases, you should get money for your commander to spend on assets for you team if you have more bases. There are plenty of variations that could be put into a game like this, and depending on the teams commanders, individual rounds in the same map would all be unique. Commanders could build a wall at certain points to slow down vehicles.... or maybe one team destroys the vehicle manufacturing site and the enemy commander is forced to spend a ton of money to rebuild it. Instead of spawn times for vehicles and a bunch of people just waiting and tking each other, if your team was doing well, then the commander would have more money and could be churning out vehicles and giving them to the teamplayers that deserve them rather than the vehicle whores of bf2.

sound like a fun game to anyone?

Re: new game idea

renegade was sweet....at the time. but anyways, i would never play that. why? base defenses. simply dumb. sneak attacks would be useless.

Re: new game idea

I guess... why not...Then there would be people glitching in the defensive walls and a new class of whore, the 'base whore' would appear and a patch to nerf that would make bf2 even buggier to play. I think the developpers are interested.

i dont mean automatic turrets and stuff, i mean mounted guns, tows etc that someone has to man to use.
an asset for the team that can be destroyed but can provide better firepower than a hand-held weapon

the fact that bf2 is a buggy piece of **** program doesnt mean all games are, a decent programmer would be able to fix a problem like that. also, structures aren't invincible, id like to see it with a completely destructible environment so that any buildings (walls) can be destroyed with enough fire power and teams could even use making craters as a strategy for either cover or to prevent the enemy from building something or to impede a tank/mess up a runway so planes cant land or take off.

ahh i understand now. i thought you were talking about the kind of defenses in renegade. that would be horrible.

i have actually thought of something kind of like what you are talking about. like on dragon valley i have wished many times that there was some AA at vista point (or whatever its called) and i started thinking how sweet it would be if we could build one there or something along those lines.

Re: new game idea

I still want a pay to play FPS.

Paying monthly would give a crpa load of bonuses.
Think of it in a MMORPG way...
Most MMORPG forums are attended and listen to by the developers.
People worry about how there user name is viewed since they pay...less TK's
Less kiddies.
The list of positives go on and on.

Re: new game idea

No, no,no, no, no. You should be shot for promoting this.

This would just encourage developers to put out games that are not complete, since they could always 'patch it later'. No, no, no. Then we'd end up spending hundreds of dollars on BF2 instead, and still be bitching here on the forums about the latest bugs in the game.

Take a lesson from Valve. They didn't charge monthly subscriptions and their games are still selling.

They're attended, doesn't mean they're listening. If you have played World of Warcraft, and participated on their forums on a variety of subjects, you will find that is not the case. In fact, it is in Blizzard's interest to keep you hopeful that your favorite class/item/feature is going to be improved, while you keep paying your monthly subscription. WoW is the biggest example of a monthly payment ripoff, the entire experience designed to keep you chasing that 'carrot-on-a-stick' (also an actual item in the game), to keep you paying that $15 a month and lining their pockets.

People worry about how there user name is viewed since they pay...less TK's. Less kiddies..

I'll disagree with you on that as well. World of Warcraft, with over 7 million subscribers now, don't act any different in game, than any other. The public chat is less than examplary (known as 'Barrens Chat' Chuck Norris anyone?), there are still name-callers, arguers, griefers... and yes... lots of kiddies.

They don't seem to care about how people view them... I know I don't. I'm just the ent|ty, whether I pay monthly or not, you can love or hate me, I don't act any different.

Re: new game idea

i think it would be a great idea


but anyone whos played a rts before knows that when a building is being built its extremely weak, especially in the first few seconds
a single pistol shot could take it out

there has to be a way to protect it

this could be solved several ways, one could be to have auto turrets on the buildings as theyre being built or to simple have them "appear" as soon as theyre ready, not the most realistic, but who cares

people being inside of the walls can be solved simply enough as well
just make the insides of all buildings kill zones, if you try to get inside it simply kills you and takes points away (suicide)


oh also i forgot to mention, theres a game quite similar to this
as the commander you play as a rts
you have your minions that go about and build everything
but the "heroes" are played as regular people, and play as third or first person

Re: new game idea

thanks for the support!

if you'd rather play a nondynamic run and gun shooter... timesplitters is for you. im more interested in expanding and changing the battlefield.. maps that are customized during gameplay... or we could just all run around like chickens with their heads cut off holding a machine gun.

but hey, if predictability excites you, congratulations, im sure you'll live a happy life because you are so easily pleased

im not really pleased by a game, it passes the time and lets me annoy the hell out of other people without leaving the house or making much effort.

i did play c&c and did enjoy it but honestly....... ea/dice....... ehh hehe i dont even need to go any further. we have enough bugs

you're very welcome on the support, anytime!

i assumed as much, like you said in the other thread, you spam claymores.
i dont understand people who just like to piss other people off, couldnt you pass your time more productively or at least without burdening other people?

If something someone does on a computer game burdens someone then they deserve it as much as possible, I cannot be to blame for anyone being to the point of ignorance that they will allow a computer game to affect their real-life state of mind.

you're right, its sad if a cheap death in a video game makes someone truly angry; but it just makes the game less enjoyable to the people who are trying to play fairly
