It's basically my holy grail of gaming. although I hadn't considered all those possible settings for battle. I just wanted to do it urban. And the focus on squad play can be re-enforced a lot of ways, like by using intelligent physics-driven acoustic propagation algorithms for the headset mics. can you imagine a scavenging party calling to each other from floor to floor?<br /><br />about risk:<br />every item you wear joins your model... your gear can be shot off. imagine taking a burst of automatic fire... finding yourself unhit, but your radio took one, bad news since your squad is a full block south. so your comm channels are cut off, or hindered. could those sorts of risky things work?<br /><br />oh cool, your 'drone' thing is a lot like my 'karma' idea for making individual bodies one-death, but allowing for persistence I was thinking that depending on who you were in past lives, you would wake up in varying degrees of readiness for the apocolypse, in different ways. if you played a badass gunfighter last time, your char mind find a loaded .45 in his apartment on creation.<br /><br />oh, and about firearms while we're at it as much variety as humanly possible. that is, even the boring guns. all guns. the entire library, or as much as we can get away with.<br /><br />there should be a bunch of things for squads to do in downtime too. like, even if you're just shooting the shit, by having two other people around all your crafting skills are faster, etc. more options too... dual-crafting things you can only do when, say, a bio-engineer and a gunsmith are in the same room.<br /><br />re: the raiding party mechnic... that might be a little harsh, eh? looting the newbs periodically, so that they have to reequip? you cold, bro, you cold<br /><br />but so far, I'm really into what you haveEliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875921305675593074noreply@blogger.com
