SC2 Engine Upgrade

Ok, here is a thought: What about a traditional rts starcraft, with the added option of a first person shooter.
ie. starcraft/battlefield mix
would this be an awsome combo or am i completely dillusional?
This would add tremendous aspects to the game, especially the fixed unit campaign maps (when you get duran and a few other marines and have to kill stukov type maps)
In my personal opinion, this would be amazing and i can't quite figure out why no one has done it yet
my only two conclusions are that
a: It would be extremely complicated and too difficult to make
or
b: This idea is completely original to me....which i doubt....alot..
Could anyone shine the light on this subject for me?

 

No.

And why not a Starcraft 2 game-play with a full 3D war in space ? With the traditional RTS genre we add some bonus games which include a full war in space between air units only.

So for the Terran : battlecruisers with Yamato cannon, not with Plasma Torpedos because this weapon attacks ground units and structures only. Not the banshee too because it just attacks ground units. So, what for the Terran except the battlecruiser ?

For the Zerg : we don't know because we have no news about them. The mutalisk is one unit.

For the Protoss : the carriers, the phoenix, the warp ray.

 

The Terran have the Predators and the Vikings as well. It would be fun to have a map where you could use dropships and stuff to drop a landing party inside an enemy BC or Carrier.

 

no to which part?

 

thats like battlefront, and that failed horrbly so they should just keep it normal.

 

whoa there little buddy
battle front was pretty entertaining
short, but entertaining

 

i'm not saying it's a bad game, i'm saying the first person idea of it was not a good idea. no one ever used it and they just played it as if it were a third person game. if i have to wait fifty more days for starcraft 2 just so they can add a useless fps element in it then i'd be mad, course i can't do anything about it.

 

well not just first person
i meant person in general
give the game a more solo person aspect similar to an rpg
give a squad orders then zoom into 1 of them to control it more personally
also you could switch between them like in battlefield (that is just plain cool)
shoot stuff alongside your fellows for a more rpg feel like in battlefront or battlefield or medal of honor etc.

 

I think you're delusional.

SC2 is a RTS. If you want a shooter game bug Blizzard to get Ghost out.

 

I am against the idea of a first person shooter. We'll have Starcraft:Ghost for that. We must not mix a classic RTS with another genre.

About my idea it is also a mix however, between a RTS and a full 3D war in space (like in homeworld). But I thought we could include that in special stages inside the game, which follow the storyline. And maybe include this option in multi-player.

I give up ! This will disturb the future game. It was a good idea yet.

 

That would ruin the game. Play StarCraft: Ghost when (if) it comes out.

 

Agree with above 100%. It would ruin the game completely, RTS and FPS don't play nice with each other, might as well let the 360 people take a crack at it and laugh when they fail.

 

Old idea bro. Battlezone beat you to it about 8 years ago. Was a fun game but not as popular as SC, and for good reason. Having the ability to create something like this with the editor? Now THAT would be amazing. But to actually change the entire gameplay to incorporate this? No.

i hope that's not a rick roll :

 

*sob*
fine, if i can't have the mix, then i vote they scratch ghost and make a starcraft ver. of battlefield
is that possible?
i mean if you wanted to incorporate all the special abilities....

 

Actually, ages ago, someone brought something like this up....A StarCraft: Battlefront, if you will....I rather liked the idea.

 

Starcraft FPS that involved the utilization of vehicles on an engine similar to BF2 or BF2142? That would be amazing. Like, spoogetastically amazing. Then i'd have to fight with myself for an hour whether to play the RTS of godliness, or the FPS of godliness.

 

Remember what happened when Blizzard combined RTS and RPG into WC3? Yeah, people kinda bashed it a little.

 

As I said, it would be amazing. They'd have to go to console as well though, for it to be a success. But it would be awesome. And the Terran units already fit the classes.
Trooper=Marine
Shotgun char=Firebat
Repair/heal=Medic
Sniper=Ghost
I dunno what you'd use for the rocket man. Maybe Firebat could play double duty.



Someone should make a mod, I don't wanna wait =(

 

TBH. I'd see it more in a Aliens Vs Predator sort of way in selecting classes etc. And only certain classes can drive vehicles etc. The vehicles would likely be limited. Think UT 2k4 or Halo.
