Title: New Innovative Game Idea!
Post by: Legionnaired on October 12, 2004, 01:32:11 PM
FPS. Everyone has a jetpack, a laser pointer, and a melee weapon.
There are stationary artillery pieces that can be used by players. They come in various sizes, firing different projectiles at different rates. (HE [big boom], Napalm [small damage/time to deal with transported pieces], AEGIS Chain gun [shoot down shells] maybe?)
Flatbed loaders can pick up arty pieces, and move them around. They must be un-deployed from the loader to fire.
Heavy lifting drop ships can pick up the smallest of the guns, and move them around.
Game play would revolve around inflicting a ridiculous amount of damage on the enemy base/power core. Players can move around wherever they want on the large map, and laser targets for their teammates in the big guns to take out. It would basically be a big 3d artillery game, of much fun. The guns would have to move around to get into a firing position on the enemy core, which means they would have to cover each other, fire on enemy targets, and move close enough to lay the hurt on the enemy base.
What say you all?

Yeah, Ura's right. It'd work perfectly for Tribes. I actually thought you were going to talk about a modified version of it when you mentioned jetpacks. And basically, you did.

It would be possible to mod this for Unreal Tournament 2004 as well.

It can't be that hard Sati. There are a lot of mods for UT.

the unreal engine (UT2k4 build) is a piece of cake to work with ^^
Until HL2 comes out I'd go so far as to say UT2k4 is THE modding engine =3

And despite what Uranium would have you believe, there are some absolute QUALITY mods for UT2k4. Start with Jailbreak (which is older than UT2k4, but has been ported), Air Buccaneers, The Swarm and Clone Bandits.

The Swarm is a pretty good mod. While I don't really like Air Buccaneers that much, they did do a good job on it. Epic did do a good job on the engine. What I want is the Unreal 3 engine. The demo looks hawt for it.
