A perhaps not so wacky idea?

Give us boats! Battleships, troop ships, hell, aircraft carriers! I guess they'd have to do some work on moving between continents, but seems like it might be cool.

Give them time and they'll give you a boat!
Hehehe, I think they already promised us Naval battles, so you'll get your wish.

Someday hopefully.

do you think they will put islands on the seas that you have to cap?

[Zarparchior]

They've hinted toward them in expansions...

But I really don't see why everyone wants to fight over water so badly.

its different, not the same ol same ol bases that are on every continent

Personally I think the idea of a large-scale sea based capital ship would be interesting. It could have all the equipment of a small base (i.e. spawn tubes, turrets, weapon storage, etc...) it would make an excellent platform for mounting an assault on a locked continent and could store vehicles in the hull and then let them disembark when they made land. I'd probably have it capturable instead of just letting players jack it at will. If done right I think it would be an excellent addition.

More danger. Fall off the deck, you're screwed.

They could have Water surface bases and Underwater bases. Would add to small subs, scuba gear, big boats, small speed boats, depth charges, water mines, and maybe a boat that can submerse itself with a large cost of speed. Just some of the things I imagine Naval Warfare. Kinda the opposite of land as the flying would be diving instead. :rolleyes:

i forgot what they were called but u could have ships that reavers land on and take off.

[Zenny]

Aircraft Carriers?

Unless someone resurect the lost art of swimming. Evediently 1000 years into the futere, people will just sink to the bottom if submerged in water. Not looking forward to that.

because you're carrying weapons and have armor on... i guess the real question is why can't you drop weapons or take off armor? probably the same reason you can't shave or have a break-dancing contest... plausability or laziness.. whatever

I think they have some obstructions in the dev team's way of getting to things like this, like huge piles of fucking money all over the Sony offices that keep them from getting to their workstations.
