The PHX Community SOF Idea Thread

TREV · Post by **TREV** » Mon Jul 14, 2003 11:18 am

So people....if they do (and even if they don't), what ideas or improvements would you like see implemented into SOF3?

Better physics system is a must, so many "wtf?" things go on. No we're use to it in SOF2 but it should still obviously be tweaked.

The game should come with map editor. That would add such a new level of replay value with the clans and whatnot, would just be plain great.

The single player campaign didn't thrill me, SOF1's single player thrilled me much more. (Better graphics...what's up with that?!)

Maybe more guns, the amount of guns right now is quite enough but new is always good...and they need to make them balanced. They're quite balanced at the moment but as everyone knows the USAS can be quite annoying at times..but most by now know how to beat it. Sig, imo, should be as accurate as the Mp5 is now...then make the mp5 in the new game even more accurate then it is now.

Ideas? Thoughts? POST!

Jams. Not the yang to Peanut Butter, but bullets getting stuck in the chamber, and having to take the time to expend the bullet. Wouldn't it just suck to be the last guy in the deciding round in the match for the championship of a league, and have your gun jam just as you turn the corner to blast the other guy? Yeah.

Diversity in the weapons. Tripwire/remote Traps, throwing darts (accurate weapon that goes really slow but is a damned near instant kill), dual pistols in MP, a Colt Single Action Army Revolver (TO RULE THEM ALL), and a SHOTGUN WITH THE OPTION OF USING ONE-SLUG AMMUNITION (that'd be nice).

To add to the ammunition part, have guns that can use multiple types of ammunition, Armor piercing, different caliber, EXPRRRROOOOSIIIIVE TIPS!

Special weapon inaccuracies. You can't hit a DAMN thing while jumping, running around will totally funk up aiming, and when PRONE, ALL guns are 100% accurate, that is for the first (few) shot(s).

Lightsabers! And more Force Powers! And... oh, wait. That's Jedi Knight 3.

Well, the idea behind the game is that you are part of an elite merc group. You have access to the latest high tech weapons including that XM-29 or whatever it was that didn't make it into the MP game. Their are always low tech alternatives that can win the day as well. Who needs an thermite grenade when a Molotov cocktail will due. I think tailoring the weapons for each side to reflect the accessibility to such devices would be appropriate. A rag tag gang of street thugs would have tech 9s, shot guns and an AK or two with hand grenades. You should also be able to pick up every day items such as 2x4s or crowbars and use them to thump a mighty wallop on unsuspecting enemies. A good swing with a crow bar should take out just about anyone, or stun them enough to get the second shot in. Besides who wouldn't be swinging claw first?

Next topic, Vehicles. What good is an elite merc team without a good SeaHawk or BlackHawk to back them up? You should at least be able to man the 60 gunner position on the UH-1s. A Hum-vee with a 50 cal gunner on top or possibly a MK-19 Machine Gun Grenade Launcher would cause chaos.

Why isn't Smoke or Incendiary an option on the m203 Grenades? Why not have a m79 Grenade launcher as a Primary weapon? you could carry at least a dozen 203 rounds. Ya ever notice how smoke grenades cause a big puff of smoke? In real life these grenades give off smoke over time. You throw the grenade and it gives off smoke as it rolls to its final resting place. When someone throws a frag grenade at you, if it hits you it blows up. Remove the imaginary proximity fuse and allow us to throw it back at you if we can pick it up quick enough. They should bring back Claymores and C4 Packs too. The C4 pack in SoF was the best way to rid yourself of anyone following you, run around a corner and put it up on the wall.

I also want to see servers with a several hundred person cap and i want to see the game simultaneously released with an XBox version. The XBox version should allow you to connect to a PC server so its transparent which platform you are playing on. (ha that'll be the day) Can anyone explain to me why XBox games require someone with an XBox to host the game? Why not have dedicated servers set up? you could get a hell of a lot more than 16 people playing at once.

Glad they got rid of the microwave gun although i was unstoppable with that thing. I have never seen a flamethrower work well in a game.

Ya know that one gun in single player....the one that has like a cool zoom and stuff with auto-lock and stuff? WHY IS THAT NOT IN THE MULTIPLAYER? I loved that weapon.

I don't agree with the vehicles thing...try to stay away from BF 1942 in my opinion.

flamethrower in a game? who was talking about using it in a game. I want a damned flamethrower in real life baby. You will burn, you will all burn, unles you have burn cream ( Purified Water, Propylene Glycol, Melaleuca alternifolia, Trolamine 99, Carbopol 934, Irgasan, Chlorobutanol, Tergitol, Ethanol)

Pie. Just pie.

BUT WHAT KIND OF PIE THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW HELLO MISTER OWL!?

i agree with dick about that long post.
Grudge, you know how bad people hate the USAS? Imagine if it gave damage like an incentiary grenade, then you got your flamethrower.
I would really like to see vechs, maybe not the aircrafts, but the jeeps and humvees are good idea if done right.

Den, Eh?

Thats all for now

MORE GIBS!

squirting spinal cords and lasagna legs are a good start, but I want to see fountains of chunks bursting everywhere, bouncing off walls and richoceting around buildings. I want to see airborn spleens whizzing between my teammates as I slop someones stomach apart at close range with a diamond tipped chainsaw sending a cascade of guts spraying in all directions. I want to sneak up behind someone and crunch their neck, rip off there head, stuff a fire grenade in his mouth and bowl that puppy into enemy terrirtory! STRIKE!!!

Man, I'm hungry.
