My take on the FPS Mod

Some things im not very clear on so correct me if im wrong.

What you guys is doing is nice and all but in my opinion another game with a ghost in the title is dull , you have ghost comings soon. What i believe would be nicer is if you had it based on a marine, right amidst the action people falling left and right *Bam bam bam* thunk bodies hitting the floor. Instead of hidden and safe why not have a large scale battle where he survives and has to do something .

Not too clear on the ideas and im posting this a quickly, my opinion briefly is that the story be less like ghost and more on an average marine rather than a specially trained spy.

The reason for using a ghost over a marine is because the ghost is more versitile. You have a much larger armement, more abilities, and your highly intellectual. Overall you'll have more fun with a game that u can do alot of things in then with a game where you have a rifle and some steroids. As for battles, theres no reason we can't have large scale fights with the ghost.

As long as I kill stuff its good enough for me. 'nuff said.

Yeah, playing as a marine would be fun- think sorta like CoD style (please don't tell me you dont know what Call of Duty is- if you don't, got to gamers hell RIGHT NOW, and download the demo). All your marine buddys fighting around you... that would be tons of fun. Come on guys, be creative. And maybe take advantage of the fact that its a rts your moding and stick some unit controll in there... uh, thats just me.

Can we please not have any more posts telling the team to just change what the FPS mod should be. If we changed it to everyones specifications we'll never get the final product. Just let them work with what they already have a goal for. If the team needs a public opinion then the team will ask for a public opinion.

Ok, good point. I withdraw my comment. Er... something. Right. I appologize for telling the FPS team what to do. Keep up your good work, I'll enjoy what ever you make. (However, you should still DL the CoD demo.)

My point EXACTLY ! CoD demo was great and i think it would be better than some aging concept that is already being used. I like CoD and MoH because i felt like i was a real hero , an team player that survives not some super enhanced cliche hero. I would prefer running in ditches and etc as a terran than some fancy super spy that runs at the sight of a zealot.

BeyondFerocity if you had read the title of this post you would have realized we weren't complaining we were giving our opinions, we weren't ordering you to follow them . The mod is fine now but i think it can be better . Because the ghost thing is old news, done to death ,cliche , and not too original at that . Now a terran mod , something like omaha beach in MoH or CoD now i can dig that , something out of Aliens 2 (the movie).

But what you were asking them to do was make it different then what have planned, and I never said you were complaining, and what I was trying to get across was please keep your opinions to yourself until they are needed. And your saying the ghost thing is old news... well wouldnt making it like CoD and MoH have the same affect of making it "Old News"?

m giving my opinion regardless if it is needed or not like i said it is my take on FPS.

As for CoD yes they are old ideas but done in a new format. Same with starcraft its an old idea but can be done in a new format , the terran aspect.

What i wnted in teh beginnin was a story based on SC but invented.. about a squad of ghosts each with different abilities and skillz and changing from mission to mission...

-The girl: Sneaky kinda style with light guns
-Her lil bro: Explosive man, mines with machine gun
-Guy: Sniper and badass...

I had all this inspiration...
And i wnted a kinda anime-oriented kinda ending where theres a deep deep morale, betrayal and lost love. Bah! But i think they changed the main character to jst a plain female ghost and not nova... i hope they use my girl ^^ u shud check her in the art thingie... anyhow jst my thoughts...

Having that around wud allow people to change gameplay. Playing the girl wud let u get accrobatic moves and fst shooting while her bro can get u the big boom! and the guy can give you the sniping fun that sum gamers crave for.

I hope any1 is interested in that...

OR...

A dramatic story about teh life of a few sc characters... The life of a ghost followed through his mission and psychological problems... and a marine trying to survive to return to earth to see his wife but dies in teh way and sort of realises sumthing about life and also u get to play a zealot who gets incarnated into a goon and how his future is dim... bah!

No talking more about something like the battle on the Amergo (sp?) , wars and battles. The ghost seems too frail and isolated, thats not what SC is about i mean WC is like that focus on single units but SC is mass and huge numbers of units. A ghost won't win you a campaign , sometimes he will but for the most part they won't.

I have a plot worked up in my head , think something like Aliens 2 VS Starcraft .

Well separate campaigns showing players views of protoss lifestyle and warfare the life of a zealot wnting the templar cloack but gets killed in battle and has to resign to the hulking life preserving battle suit of a dragoon. The life of the marine who all his life survived battles agains the zerg, which all lead up to a story and such. The marines voyage from place to place to fight off the zerg... while the protoss on the other side of the planet are trying to escape and stuff like that or sumthing...

Sounds like a good story. Shame the FPS will only use ghost.

well theyre having problems... maybe one day we can make a story for it... im a staff member if u didnt know ^^
i tried to tell em stuff but like yea...
The zealot really lead a disciplined life and such and this one wants to leave the life of a warrior and assume the cloack of the templar but during an ambush by zerg. He gets slain and is imbued into a dragoon and is doomed to fight for his life with no chance of a normal life.
The marine is a veteran, but is obligated to stay in the killing fields for the war still rages on. He has a family waiting for him and his only link with them is video file messages. He eventually ponders on life questions when he is thrown in prison by terran renegades with the zealot hero. There they become friends and escape and go their own ways. The zealot gets killed and is granted new life as a goon while he continues to be a marine. They square off in a battle terran vs protoss where they meet. But the marine shoots not knowing who it is but the dragoon let's him live. And they meet again and talk, they develop a friendship bound. The marine and dragoon talk about their life issues and explain to each other that u must do what u must of what u are now and what u are in at the moment and not wait for teh future to become better( blablabla deep moral hard to discuss now). Departure, marine gets killed by a wound inflicted by hydralisk.
3rd campaign can be 2 ghosts... which becomes a classical romantic story where they cant live a normal life because of their demanding task, i was thinking of the guy as a macho that never lets out what hes thinkin and the girl of a cool and confident ghost operative. they fall in love... the guy saves the girl by not obeying orders and gives his life for hers...by buying her time; she escapes aboard a dropship and looks by the window, hes shooting at zerg then a cloud comes in shrouding the view... :(

quit not original but hell kinda good for a video game... but that last one was more fora high res cinematic they were planning but now the fps mod is struggling to release a competent fps multiplay mod.

Well mines more of a rough story , a marine lands in a dropship during a battle and he runs away . Then he gets in more trouble but manages to get back only to hear that he is arrested for mutiny... something like that.

I can picture it . Bang bang SHEEEOW " **** this im outta here"
