I wanted to see what you guys would htink in the FO section. Hoepfully a good idea that mite make it into this game or another game. I think it would revolutionize the creativity and depth of newer sims. here it goes.
Hmm... In a MS FS style to be able to start a campaign and have the option to choose real or my way(i dont care wat its called) but real would be how everyone expects it to be. you do goals, get missions yadda yadda yadda. I dont know if this idea will grow but in my way mode...you get the enemy, you see where everything is like a breifing. but you choose evrything else. basically instead of scripted missions, you plan you waypoints, your wingmen(hopefully wingmen that have their own personality not like any other games) your load out, what you mission goal is for that particular mission(its the whole campaign just you decide what to do) and so on.
getting to the ai pilots, I woul like to start off every campaign with a bunch of wingmen, every one had their own style, skills, and stats. like a sports game. if one gets shhot down or killed, they dont fly again and are eliminated.
But i think the MY WAY idea could grow, where you finish the campaign your way. Not as realistic but it adds depth and creativity. And you can do something and then discuss it here at the forums and people will be like, I never tought of sarting the campaign that way, and taking out those targets first! I hope this idea grows. I dont know if its to late to be put in but it seems cool.
lol im thinking of this idea as im typing so bear with me. as unrealistic as it is, you can take normal hops in my way mode and decide what base to take off from, your plane your loadout, everything and this is different from what I said above. this is just no planning, you can just fly, or do some damage to the enemy. you pick the dates, not the weather that should be random, you cant go back in time, and while you atre laying you have a news bullitin telling you of enemy activity. planned attacks by the enemy, or where they are moving, enemy convoys and their times, and in MY WAY you can decide to do something about the convoy? or take out one of their key roles in an attack before it happens. s in MY WAY the possiblities for YOUR war are endless, and the outcome is endless also. So basically my way is a very in depth, your in control dynamic campaign. And the original style dynamic campaing has to be included also.
TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK
p.s i just thought of this idea like 20minutes ago, I think its cool, do you guys?
thats what i posted over there. when i said ms fs style i was just getting the thought in my head. What I meant to say was like you pick what base to start, you pick your plane for that particular mission, wether you pick waypoints or not you just go ahead and do whatever the he** you want. All while getting the job done and hopefully kicking a**. The enemy has to be active also though, having their planes going on daily hops, and if you7 fly there they scranble to intercept you. Wouldnt that be cool to just fly near a base and all of a sudden to 29's are in the air after you? damn i posted that and now i keep thinking of ideas. and when i mentioned the bullitin board idea, you can get warnings of enemy planes in the area and so on. and if you want, go ahead and intercept them. sure enough they will be there. I think this would add an amazing emelment of gameplay. Im gona stop dropping idea left and right and see what you guys think...
sry for the long read.
