Take a vehicle and turn it into a player controllable foot soldier.
It doesn't have to be quake type of warrior.
Just a movable object with a gun and a few grenades.
And let C47 drop them instead of computer paratroopers. And when 10 of them get into the room, they have to hold for 10 minutes in order to take over the field.
I don't think it's totally impossible to implement that, or... is it?
-
this has been asked for many times and in many different ways i like GlacierGirls idea of this the most. And instead of just running to the map room u have to fight of enemy soldiers hiding in the twn shooting bk at u!!
-
I guess there must be a reason why it can't be done if many already asked before.
that's too bad.
-
This isnt WW2OL, no foot soldiers here
-
[SIZE=8]NO[/SIZE]
-
There's no such rule as 'only ww2online should have footsoldiers'.
AH have tanks. why not foot soldiers.
Then again I'm having fun as is.
-
YES
i will own anyone who disagrees, wit pure internet hardazz skillz
-
NO GO PLAY WW2OL! WE DON'T WANT THE CS 1337 PLAYERz!
-
Well, lets be understanding... perhaps my MAD STREET CREDZ can be of some assistance...
HELL NO
Happy to be of service, give me a call if you need anything else.
-
Amen brother! NO!
-
One day, we will see a persistent online ww2 game that presents all the aspects of ww2 with foot soldier and all, in a brilliant and fun way.
It's just that it hasn't happend, yet.
One thing is for sure... it is possible. But it will take some guts and bold steps to make that happen, not to mention brilliant minds.

And Aces High is so close...

theres 50 different threads asking for this, it will eventually happen, either that or they get rid of the gvs. If this game had it i just wouldnt be a troop, i would run them over wit tanks strafe them or drop incedairies on them, no prob for me. flying close air support wouldnt be bad either, just more things to do.

Are you new? It will never happen.. It will never even get serious consideration. I don't even think if HT got really freakin stoned would he look at skuzzy and go "Dude... Foot Soldiers...!"
Never gonna happen... This is just another B29 with a nuke thread.

there goin to add more planes aswell as gvs after they are done wit ct, again in 2 weeks:lol . It would really make sense that eventually after all the gv are on the roster that it is added. They could add pink elephants that spray fire from there trunks to kill tiger tanks and it wont make a difference to me, im in a hellcat, just one more thing for me to drop a bomb on:aok . If this thread does anythin it just gives me somethin to do right now before i catch some z's, lets give me somethin to do for tommorrow, b29 i want nukes:rofl

CT is done in two weeks?!? Really?!? w00t!!!

What's the differnce between a gv and a troop? Same thing... except a troop is more vulnerable and with weaker fire power.
I think all the negative opinions stem from the fact that it has never been done right. Battlefiled 1942 did it almost right but it's not persistent online arena game.
Foot soldier is not impossible.
One thing you can't allow in this game is to let players be able to jump off their planes or tanks and start shooting as foot soldiers. (except truck and jeep)
Foot soldiers have to spawn as foot soldiers. They may be able to hop onto truck or jeep but nothing more.
One more thing, foot soldiers shouldn't be able to start attacking a base on their own. First field guns and flaks must be disabled by planes or gvs first.
Then, a sapper can sneak in a sabotage a hanger! Sweet~

To do this with graphics good enough, and gameplay good enough, you would need a whole different game. To map the fields and towns with such great detail from ground that it would take another thousand magabytes to do this right. I like the idea, but only if it is done right, and it is, I beleive, impossible to do this right.
-
well we need new maps as it is, i guess they would just have to design it so its a area where u noe ur goin to fight. Have like barracks and shore bunkers, it could be done. But again pink elephants, it would be nice to see and give me one more thing to shoot at.
Why wouldnt u want it added? Because of the addition of the fps crowd, i doubt it would bring that many new people. As soon as they dont have stinger missles and laser they wont want it.
-
so far GlacierGirl has given the best argument about this idea
heres a link to his infantry argument

I still say it would make the game too damned big. Of course we could afford to lose a few dozen bases to make up for it. I still think upwards of 200 bases is a little too many. The fights are so damned spread out.
-
Hitech,
I have never heard your ideas on this. Glacier's idea seems reasonably easy to implement and a good first step in the right direction. Any thoughts?
-
Come to think of it, it would be pretty fun to see a bunch of noobs running around as foot soldiers and carpet bombing them buffs
-
imagine this a sight of and entire infantry rush and you got a P47.

there was another thread that figured that out, it would count as objects, like killing a town buildin or somethin, u cant count it as a point for every troop u kill on the ground.

You haven't been here for long have you? If you had been here for at least a couple of years, you would have seen the interview in which HiTech addressed this very topic. When asked about adding a player controlled FP trooper, HiTech clearly stated that he would like to add it to the game and he expanded on it by saying that he would like to have them so players can battle out for the map room.
Now, most likely this has been placed way on the back burner until ToD comes out or it might have been completely tossed out but HiTech did at one time have plans on adding them to the game. He also mentioned in the same interview about adding submarines and gave a brief explanation on how they would work in AH.

I've been here since August 2003, so longer than you seem to assume. The May 2005 on my user id is because I cancelled the account for a couple months Feb 2005 to May 2005. Previously it was KurtVW
If there was a post to that effect, then you are correct, I missed it. I do not read every thread, I simply don't have the time to piss everyone off in every thread, so I pick those that look the most entertaining.
None the less, it would seem that the current development effort isn't going that direction. So while he may have entertained the thought at some point it seems like maybe the urge passed?
I think it would be out of character for the game, and unnecessary. Its hard enough to get a crew of bombers and a goon to capture a base, can you imagine how much worse it would be to have to get the bombers, the goon and 10 guys willing to run to the map room? I don't think it will ever happen.
Its a flight Sim game, not an FPS.

We have GVs, if this was a pure flight sim we wouldnt have them, or at least there not player controlled vehicles. THings would have to change like for example the maps, i dont noe about u but im tired of the ones we have now. Regardless we arent getting anything new till this tour of duty combat tour or whatever the hell its called is done.

I've always heard HiTech himself call the game we "pay to play", a "Combat Simulator".
