Title: Real Troops
Post by: BennyBeaver on June 08, 2007, 12:32:23 AM
u noticed that the airborne troops u drop look exactly like the pilots? They need to have a helmet, m1 and actually look tactical...not just them moving without there legs moving and holding out a pistol. They need to be able to crouch.. work together, hide...ya'know. Also you should be able to have one! Also a seaplane would be nice.:D

I don't think that stuff is really important. They just take over the base and get the job done.

Sorry, with the defense budget cutbacks, all we can afford are the 35-watt guns.

This is the "Wishlist" forum isn't it?

Why do some people attempt to demean someone for sharing their thoughts?  

Sad, sad, sad.....

If I remember correctly, it was something about making the other guy mad as heck  (or something close).  

You don't make me mad..  I feel sorry for you.  

I would say more, but there is rule #4...

It is one of HiTech's future projects to add a first-person shooter aspect to the game.  Instead of dropping non-player troops as they do now, a C-47 will drop a spawn point for the assaulting side.  Players will spawn as troopers (with various weapons available to them), and attempt to capture an underground bunker complex on the base.  The defending side will of course be able to spawn inside the complex (probably from a "barracks" room, though that's speculation on my part) to defend it in close-quarter combat.

The above plan was revealed by HiTech quite a bit before there was any mention (to the community, at least) about "Tour of Duty", but ToD took precedence over the FPS in the development cycle.  At the very least, I would like to see in the interim the ability to spawn as a trooper from the barracks with a choice of weapons.  But I don't see it happening.

Spawn as SpartanII John 117 and push the Covenant back to their slimey alien ship, or join forces with the Arbiter and repel waves of Flood!

Whoops, wrong game!:rolleyes:

It would be nice to have some real infantry or be the infantry yourself!

Have a Thomson or MP40 and take the maproom yourself or defend it!

Lol...imagine the ord that would drop on player-infantry?  One sherman close to a base gets pummelled by 5 or 6 IL's or 110's..now you want to give them a "squad" to egg too?  Turning a game called "Aces High" into a first person shooter. EGADS.  Entirely out of the frame of this game.  A first person shooter based in the context of 30 enemy planes flying around with ord....well, i'll take your squad out with on 50KG bomb from a 110 and take the ten kills back to base.

I think it would be cool for the troops to have the players name who released them printed on their backs  like a football shirt.

Also I would like to see the player ID who gets the troops into the map room.

Bruv119 has captured  A1 in a M3 of The Few  etc etc  

This way when people take TT fields we can all see who did it and start a witch hunt.

I realise captures are MOST of the time a team effort but i think this would encourage the land grabber ppl to get some respect.

well the thing is everyone wouldnt be flying around with ord to take out the troops, we would have to fight for air supremacy then we could have everyone fly around with ord to take out the troops.
