Doubtful. They never once ate me and then called me a "n00b", nor did they ever "pwn my fac3!!1!!!1!1!111"

After thinking about it for part of the day I would like to see someone make a game that combined gameplay elements from Splinter Cell, CounterStrike, Call of Duty/Medal Of Honor, Far Cry, and Half Life, etc  with everything destroyable, all buildings usable,  all vehicles usable, and no linear gameplay.   Levels could have several smaller objectives that are optional to complete to reach the main objective of that level.  Each optional object you complete makes it easier to complete the main objective.   Give me different options to complete a level, I'm tired of the "run here, go to the third floor, find the anti-tank gun,  run down 1 flight of stairs, shoot at tank and then die" only because you where too slow running up or down the stairs. :rolleyes:

One thing I always hated about FPS games like Doom was you spent a freaking hugh amount of time running around looking for key cards to open a door.  WTH!!, I'm a walking doomsday machine carrying rocket launchers, several automatic weapons and explosives I should be able to just blow the damn door off its hinges, shoot through walls, etc...

i remember on ps1 there was a really cool game called Colony Wars, and a sequel.  Don't remember who made it but, for me at the time, it was pretty immersive.

Vanguard

microsofts attempt at stealing the crown from WOW and EQ.

The game boasts realm PVP and cities builti by players and guilds. The world is supposed to be obscene in size.

Microsoft got assed out.  Sigil and Sony Online Entertainment just announced that they made a deal in which SOE will publish, distribute and host the servers and provide back end support (billing and technical support) while Sigil will take care of the community and customer support.

Basically, Vanguard is from the creators of the original EQ.  Vanguard is attempting to cater to the more hardcore MMORPG player like those found in the original EQ.  A lot of the ideas like player cities, wide expansive world and combined PvE/PvP servers, Jeff Butler got from Star Wars Galaxies when he was the producer of SWG before leaving SOE and forming Sigil.

Reading through these posts I keep remembering when I played X-COM: UFO DEFENSE.  I've never been so freaked out and falling out of my chair laughing from the same game.  THAT one was a classic!

The original Ultima Online was great, until PvP got penalized due to a bunch of girls crying about getting killed . I played on a Japanese server and those japs were rulthless and funny all at the same time.

EQ was a girl's game/chatroom from the begining, iirc.

Quakewars: Enemy Territory and Neverwinter Nights 2 are the two games that I'm looking forward to the most right now. QW:ET looks to be BF2 on steroids and I enjoyed the first NWN game.

Enjoyed Oblivion on the 360. Finally got around to finishing it today.

Medal of Honor, City of Hero's/Villians and AH are my all time favorites. Take all 3 of these games and combine them in to something and I think you would have on heck of a game.

All the great games are already made. The new ones aren't new. They're just prettier versions of the same tired games we've been playing for years.

Unless they come up with some new genres, it'll look prescient.
