OpenSpades Idea Thread

[Arkger]

Hey guys, I think this should be the thread where all of our ideas can be compiled, thought of, improved, and basically set up in a nice clean way. Here is how we are going to compile them (At least on this thread :P)

PLACEMENT
Basically, you state the general area your idea would apply to.
Here are the more general ones:


GAMEPLAY
BALANCING
APPEARANCE
ADVERTISING
etc.

Now I have a couple ideas of my own, Feel free to criticize them, but don't be rude about it.

1. Loadouts
I was wondering, if some of the items we wanted to be added in (Barbed Wire,Bazookas,etc.) were to be added in somehow, how would it work? WE DO NOT WANT CLASSES (at least I don't), because we do not wanna be BlockyField 4...

So I was thinking, loadouts!
This is how it would work:

Primary Weapon: Rifle, SMG, Shotgun, Bazooka, etc.
Secondary Weapon:Pistols, and anything else that could be counted as a secondary weapon o_o
Utility: Mines, Barbed Wire, MedKits, Ammo Kits (OH NO BLOCKYFIELD 4 D:), grenades, etc.

People can interchange their Loadouts how they wish beforegame, and maybe have 3 Loadouts they may choose from during the game, that way they can completely cover their playstyle.

2.Pistols
Pistols are something we have always wanted,but how EXACTLY would they work? Would there only be 1 type of pistol? Multiplie Pistols? If so, what would each of them do? I need a little clarification myself on how these would work, please try to fix these up with me!

I would lvoe to hear from all of you, critiquing these here, and making up your own!

You are speaking for yourself in that post a lot. I myself love battle field and want AoS to turn into it rather then just being a shooter. Just think how would a map like bridge wars play with helicopters,tanks, and jet skis? You said you didn't want it to be battle field then mentioned a bunch of stuff that is in battlefield like customizable load outs. Hypocrite much?

Ok firstly, Battlefield has CLASSES, not loadouts. You can customize your class, but its not a loadout. Do You see a Engineer running around with an assault rifle? NOPE.
So please look deeper into what loadouts and classes are before you try to offend someone. And if we were being that vague on stuff being clones, wouldn't every FPS game copy off of each other? You are saying I am mentioning "Loadouts" From BF, when in reality, basically every FPS game now has Classes and loadouts. Thats like saying Bf3 copied COD because they have customizable weapons.

And I am kinda talking about myself in that post mostly because, I dunno, It was my idea, and I wanted to see input on it...? And bridge Wars would be kinda horrible with Tanks and Helis, mostly because there would be no place for infantry...

oh yes i do.
i borrowed my friend's copy of bf3, shit ton of engies running the ACW-R

I personally wouldn't like seeing AoS-like game with choppers and tanks. Maybe jeeps or boats in extra big maps, but nothing other than infantry transport.

I see where you are coming from, and I would like to see Jeeps and boats too. Maybe even Cars and Motorbikes, on the more modern maps ofc. :)

[TheVetNoob]

As cool as tanks and things like that sound, it probably wouldn't work too well.
I don't see what the problem with classes is, at all. Why are you so opposed to them?

Also, I've always thought that multiple skins for the same guns would be really cool. It would be a little more interesting, rather than seeing the same 3 guns over and over.

[Battlefire]

I think having helicopters is good. But jets won't work at all. Just a few things like tanks/armor truck, helicopters and jeeps. But for big maps not small ones.

If it was added mappers could set the vehicles allowed in the text file.

I rather have a much more flexible system with loadouts than fixed classes. And in a way, there are already classes in the game right now, in the form of the three basic guns.

[bullets]

I think we should just add small things, and mechanics, for example:
Mines, other small stuff like this.
Buying weapons - You get points for the gun you kill someone with, and you can buy a different type of gun that's different in a certain way.
Possibly even a vehicle, but this may not work.

NO JETPACKS we do not won't to create another AoS 1.0

I'm thinking something along the lines of classes that you can customize. Say you take a "rifleman" class. You've got a few slightly different semi-auto rifles that can differ in RoF, accuracy, that sort of thing. Then you've got a two or three secondaries/pistols to choose from. Then, you have one or two "equipment slots" and these could be used for things like binoculars (let you see 2-3 times farther when scoped with them) grenades, mines or other stuff. Then maybe some aesthetic stuff, like different helmets or uniforms n' shit.

That could be easily done in a loadout system, just make the primary weapons define which character skin is used.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Could you all leave your dreams and arrive on this earth again ??
Have you ever visited the github page or have you ever talked with yvt, learn_more or any other coder/programer ? These guys do this work in their free time FOR FREE. Have you ever contributed ANYTHING to this ?
Just search a bit in the internet about the dimensions ( money, time and number of programers) battlefield 4 or 3 has. I'm super noob at coding, programming or anything related with this BUT i'm able to think a bit realistic. You need physics, engines etc etc for cars, boats and this stuff.
Especially you jdrew, didn't you talked about pirating games is good and other people will pay them ? Now you lazy baby who doesn't want to use the money your parents putting in your ass for games, you baby who wants others to pay for your game, you baby who is even too lazy to write in your native language without horrible mistakes, you baby who isn't even able to make a fairly appealing website with a website kit, YOU dare to ask people to make things in their free time for you, so huge you won't make it in your whole life.

This thread could be quite useful if you just talked about realistic suggestions. What the hell do you want to do with barbed wire in a fps ?? There is a reason why there haven't been barbed wire in any successfull fps.

In my opinion, pistols aren't a bad idea. We have to ask someone with knowledge on this field first, but i think this wouldn't be that much work to implement them.
Anyway, classes or loadouts doesn't fit to aos, 1.0 is the best example why we probably won't use them.
Another idea from me are smoke grenades. You maybe noticed that the normal grenades produced smoke/dust after their explosion, maybe we could set the damage to 0 and just increase the smoke. To balance such new items we could reduce the number you carry of them, btw 1 smoke grenade instead of 3 normal grenades.

Some other ideas (for the far future):
- some items or weapons that the server admin or the mapper can place on the map ( like a heavy machine gun )
- since smg is so hated, i have an idea about a general weapon change:

for the smg:
- less bullets in the smg mags
- more recoil and less accurate
+ more rounds per minute

then add a light machine gun with a bipod
- super inaccurate without using the bipod
+ accurate with it
+ A LOT of bullets in a mag
- long reload time

BTW before any changes, we need a master server for os ( or? a "fork" from the normal server?, grandy mentioned something)

"This thread could be quite useful if you just talked about realistic suggestions. What the hell do you want to do with barbed wire in a fps ?? There is a reason why there haven't been barbed wire in any successfull fps. "
Well, what is that reason? If balanced properly there is no reason not to, it just has never been tried.

"Anyway, classes or loadouts doesn't fit to aos, 1.0 is the best example why we probably won't use them. "
You idiot, loadouts are pretty much already in current AoS. When you are choosing between Rifle, SMG and Shotgun you are choosing a loadout and, for all practical purposes, a class.
