Customizing yoru character like this would be a first for any online shooter that I know of for consoles at least. I think the mechanics of this may be the big question though. I'm not sure if the download times required to load everyone's indiviidual skin would allow this to be feasible, but I am not programmer.

If they were able to pull it off it would be a huge advance in online shooters.

i was also thinkin somethin like getting mud on ur clothes or armor when walking or crawling in the mud, stealth kills, rappelling from buildings or shooting a grappeling hook on a building and then climb it, snipers get to camoflauge themselves to the surroundings, and fast rope from gunships. Id really like to fast rope, that wud be pretty cool fast roping from 40ft-70ft. Also differnt comments the soldiers say. Maybe even have them say a discription of an enemy and their position like "We got two soldiers over by that destroyed tank!" or when they get wounded they xan say "Im hit!" or "Man down Man Down we need a medic over here!" Speaking of medics u knowe how the medic always heals you by just throwing that blue milk carton at you, they should stop that. i think it should be more realilistic. Like a teammate got nearly blown up or got shot at to a point where he's on the ground waiting for a medic to come. You or a teammate of any class could drag that wounded man or carry him on ur back and get him to a medic or a safer location. u could also signal a medic to come ur position by pressing a button. When the medic is healing some body he actually look like hes trying to examine the wounds and taking care of him.

Rapellng off of gunships would be nice on urban maps (Coruscant, Mos Eisley, Kamino), provided you can hover over one spot. However, on open maps, its more feasable to just land.

Rapelling off of buildings would be awesome. I'd love to see an attack on a control point on Coruscant with soldiers rapelling down from the skyscraper above.

--

Some more suggestions:

MISC.

  • DLC for BF3! New map packs from Free Radical (or whatever the dev will be) like COD4 or Halo.

  • It'd be cool to download user-made PC maps and mods from XBL or PSN. An actuall map editor wouldn't work on a console, imo.

  • A commander position like on Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. The commander can call in artillery strikes and supply drops as well as order infantry squads, fighter squadrons, and cavalry units (aka tanks, vehicles) around. The commander is voted to his/her position by all players on his/her side.

  • I like the audio idea. Allied troopers yelling out something useful and not annoying would be cool. Of course, with mic support, you say what you'd say. -- Also, there's a cool thing from Tom Clancy's EndWar that would be unbelievable. Voice commands. I can't imagine how cool it would be to order AI soldiers around. But only if it worked well.


  • SPACE BATTLES

  • Being able to drive the capitol ships (it works in Battlefield 1942). This would make broadsides possible.

  • The turrets on capitol ships need to be turbolasers and quad batteries like in the movies, not stupid giant beam cannons like heavy turrets in BF2.

  • The explosions in space need to be bigger and more cinematic/lifelike. On BF2 they're little puffs of smoke.

  • Put the hangers in the right place. On a Star Destroyer, they're on the bottom, on a Venator, it's in the whole mid section.

  • Lastly, bigger space battles. 2-3 capitol ships per side, 4-5 frigates (pilotable, of course) per side, an lots of fighters.


  • LAND BATTLES

  • More vehicles like Battlefield.

  • More vehicles need bigger maps. Play battlefield 1942 to see what I mean.

  • Urban maps!!!!

  • -Coruscant! NOT JUST THE JEDI TEMPLE!
    -A new Mos Eisly please. With surrounding landscape. (e.g. Beggars Canyon, Homesteads, Toshi Station)
    -Nar Shadaa. For variety.
    -Corellia would be cool. Coronet would be cool to battle in.
  • No old maps. Self-explanitory.

  • Customizable classes.

  • -You can't change the type of weapon each uses, that would unbalance the game beyond belief. That's not to say you can't upgrade their weapon.
    -Changable/upgradable camo. Various patterns, variations.
    -New helmets, like in Halo 3. Purely aesthetic, but that's enjoyable nevertheless.
    -More classes like heavy weapons (deployable heavy blaster, i.e. E-Web), special forces/commando, medic, and close quarters.
  • To players: tactics need to be more squad-based. Individual Schwartzenegger-like combat needs to go.

  • Is 64 players too much?


  • GALACTIC CONQUEST

  • More planets, obviously.

  • Being able to plan your attacks uniquely, making battles dynamic and different every time.

  • A totally new interface for the galactic map. More options, upgrades, and bonuses. The one in BF2 wasn't bad, but it was by no means great. We should just all forget about BF1's...

  • SP: No set numbers for troops on plantets. There should be a garrison of troops. Battles are too easy with balanced numbers (in GC). E.G. an enemy fleet attacks a lonely planet, the planet is not going to have the same amount of men as the fleet. The fleet would have the numbers advantage.

  • MP: A meta game with tons of players would be cool. Basically a fight for the galaxy with everyone else. Like a galaxy map with multiple battles at the same time, capturing planets and fighting in a "war" instead of just battles. It's hard to explain.


  • There! Some new ideas and some old ones.

    Btw, when I say BF2, that means Battlefront 2, not battlefield 2.

    Lol, 11 edits! I think I'm done now.

    i like most of ur ideas. i think its better than my idea of kicking down doors, opening doors, or breaching doors. or fighting like whacking the mess out of the enemy with ur gun or fighting hand to hand combat.

    You did give me an idea though about the fast ropes at Mos Eisly. im thinkin of makin a movie like Black Hawk Down the star wars version.

    Hey, if you have a sword that can cut virtually anything, you should be able to get through any locked doors. That goes for the Jedi Knight games as well.

    Please do not double post, jstu go back an edit your previos one. Thanks!

    While I agree witht eh customizable weapons and outfits, I do beleive is shoudl be like SOCOM where you can get over weighed down. HWG's should not be able to sprint as fast as a trooper or engineeer IMO.

    don't get too excited though, b/c check the date the article was written,September 30th, 2006. There hasn't been any new information since, so everything is still on speculation only.
