Title: April Fools

Here is a thought, what would be the best Aprils fools joke for Hitech to incorporate into AHII for just that one day.  Any and all ideas welcome.  With anyluck, HiTech may just do something.

I think flying PT boats would be enough, dont need kids asking for lasers and nukes.

I would make everyones airplane look like a stick figure from the early days with AW. Or make a map that looks like the original small europe complete with the abbrviated names and land names changed to A, B, C.

Would laugh my arse off if HTC made aircraft invulnerable but still secretly registered hits; so instead of "so & so landed 5 kills" it would read "so & so was killed 25 times".

On April 1, for each player, the first 60 seconds the following actions are attempted, the results will be:

parachute will not open and voice will say "Quit yanking on me!"

ack guns will sound in tiny little voice "ooh    ah    ooh    ah"

engine starts will burst into flames as European crash truck sirens sound ("eee ah eee ah eee ah")

base icons flashing will have woman's voice warning  "Base out of whack, base out of whack"

pt boat engine start will initiate severe flooding sound and anxious voice "Sir, permission to abandom ship!"

 ... enough ... the mind boggles ....

explosions look like the little POW/ZAP/KAZOOIE thingies in old cartoons


add complete nudist beaches that you can almost, but not quite, make out anything more than the general outline

change the PT boat into a small canoe, armed to the teeth with BB guns...

any collisions will be reported by a high pitch yowl of "DOWDED!"

Remodel the SpitV as "Woodstock" (peanuts cartoon) would be kinda funny - we'd see a lot of them too :D

Well an Aprils fools joke has to fool us like :

When login online to MA 1.4.2005 you get a message :
"There is a new patch of size 14GB, do you want to down load it now?"

Or in textbuffer

"Lost UDP switching to TCP"
"Note your internet is very slow, please upgrade to RFC1149 for a faster connection."
http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/ (http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/)

Or perk some popular rides like LA7, P51, P38 with 50 points or so?

For the joke to be good one has to first go :eek: and then :rofl

Right?

Too bad they can't make the little enemy P51s you see in offline mode engage you instead of just flying in a circle.  Say when you reached 1K, they turn and start coming after you.   I know that would freak me out.   :D

Make .303's do the damage of 37mm's, and 37mm's do the damage of .303's.  Everything is reversed in damage.


I.E. Most powerful on down would be .303, .50, jap 20, german 20, hispano...


I'm talking about huge explosions!

Turn off killshooter for friendly targets.



















And turn it ON for enemy targets.  :)  First guy that lines up behind a seemingly unaware afk plane and lets loose at d200 ends up cussing in his own tower and wondering how that G'D' so and so managed to kill him .......................

I think the coolest april fools thing HTC could do is make a special arena for that one day.


A simple, HUGE map filled with 10k mountain valleys, HUGE cities (aka a city could cover 1 sector), littered with V-bases all over around the cities...


and the only 'airfields' would be 5 flying aircraft carriers per country that hover at 25k alt and can launch all airplane types and travel around at 120mph.


THAT would be a hoot :D

Post by: JB73 on February 18, 2005, 03:56:35 PM
every airbase, instead of the normal takeoff points have 15k air starts.
