Living Breathing Troops
« on: August 27, 2012, 10:18:27 AM »
First Person Shooters seem to be very popular these days, and with the skrinking populations in the arenas a little help couldn't hurt. My proposal is for you, the player, to be able to fight as a soldier. Attacking soldiers would be brought in on M3s and C-47s and defending soldiers could spawn right in the map room(once the barracks are destroyed they would stop of course). The very first gun that I think should be added is the Thompson SMG, the round is already made and you could simply photoshop a thompson Image over the .45.

Do you happen to have research that authenticates this claim?  (Before even getting into the logistics of implementing such an idea)

That would be so incredibly awesome !  I can't wait for that.  Then maybe we could have little farms with farmers and tractors and cows because after all those guys gotta eat.  It would be so cool to log on and plow the fields for 5 to 6 hours.  And how about hookers ?  The contributed to the war effort, little houses of ill repute, so awesome.  And mechanics !  How bout playing as one of them ?  Spiffy uniform, carrying a wrench, changing the oil, so very very awesome.  And how about the guy that refuels the planes ?  It would be so cool to stand there at the rearming pad, watching all the pilots fly around, waiting for one of them to land and give you a kind word while you fill em up with high test.  Maybe share a stick of gum, so incredibly awesome !

Aces High, just grab a plane and go fly maybe.

If that doesn't work, they can sit in a GV or field gun/88 all day!   :bolt:

While I personally do not see a good way to integrate FPS combat into AH at the moment, thinking outside the box and opening AH to player circles outside the diehard plane combat simmers is in my opinion very much required to keep the game as a whole (and thus the air combat part too) alive.
The tank control changes were such as step, and a successfull one at that.
