Madness? THIS IS AURAXIS! (Crazy ideas)

The Janitor · 2012-06-13, 10:05 PM

This is the crazy idea thread! The purpose of this thread is to discuss what sort of ridiculous things you want to try when you get into the game. I myself am going to try many things to break the beta as hard as I can, doing things like trying to get vehicles into buildings, see what sort of nonsense I can get up to by doing things that one would never think to do in a combat situation, and many other things involving things that you shouldn't be able to do.

A few ideas to get started with:

It's raining Galaxies, halleluiah!
Get anywhere from 50-100 guys in Galaxies and fly them all at once over a major battle. Everyone has an ejector seat and flies at max altitude. Then, everyone bails at once, causing Galaxies to rain down onto the unsuspecting players down below, inciting rage and screams to the admin to have mercy on their poor souls. Gonna need to record all of this too.

Quads in the halls!
A lot of the buildings looked open and rather roomy, even inside. Let's get like 100 guys on quads and just flood everything we can with quads! For no reason other than to confuse the hell out of people as they can't figure out wtf is going on and why there are quads guarding indoor capture points.

Ship of the Line Liberator Battles!
2(Or even 3!) teams of 20-50 Liberators, all with mortars in the mid gunner position. Each team flies in really tightly packed groups in the air and tries to stay as close to each other as they can. Each team then flies withing range of each other and starts unloading to see who can "sink" the other ship first. Bonus points for firing in order just like the old High Seas ships!

Your turn, what craziness can you guys come up with?

I am convinced that a scythe will fit in some of the larger buildings.

I have DECIDED that my mosquito will fit in some of the larger buildings. And kill your scythe.

Also, things on top of aircraft as a general concept.

I will MAKE a galaxy fit into a building and drop it on both your ships... and then there will be cake.

I'll also jump ship at the ceiling and try to land on a jump pad to see if it saves my life.

Craziness? Madness?

I want a triple-barreled-velociraptor-cannon with a 8x night vision scope and a Hawaiian hula girl duck taped to it.

Cheers?

I now want that airbrushed onto a van like an 80's power metal album cover.

This sounds like a lot of fun

Taking out Liberators with the mortar gun. Gotta bank the Liberator to get some of those shots to connect.

I wonder how hard it will be to fly a Liberator upside down.

I want to eject at max altitude right above a friendly galaxy with an open slot...as I pass by I'll just 'enter vehicle'.

Or eject at high altitute and see if i can land on top of an enemy ship liberator/galaxy and then throw down some C4. Some Rambo shit right there.

Fighter jet out of ammo? Line up to head straight at an enemy gal/lib and when you get close enough hit the afterburner then bail.

If 'vehicle surfing' is possible(i have a feeling it wont be though) then have a few AA maxs on the roof of a lib

Anybody else want to see 250 infiltrators just appear out of thin air throughout an entire base for one very quick and sudden takeover attempt

I want to see a lot of fighters (preferably scythe) all in the air in the formation of a pyramid, and have them all move in coordination, shooting in all directions.

Cuross · 2012-06-13, 11:27 PM

I want to see massive ejects at maximum altitude where everyone throws a whole bunch of C4 to the ground below and detonates them before they land

Also, I support the ATV's in buildings, lol. Just flood the buildings and make it impossible for infantry to navigate haha... though all this will have to be done during Beta since the ATV flood will most likely be fixed the first time it's done :P

And this^

Aircraft surfing for sure.

Im going to pretty much spend beta pushing all the aircraft to their limits in terms of what they 'can' and 'cant' and what they 'are' and 'are not' supposed to do though.

SpcFarlen · 2012-06-13, 11:35 PM

I want to test out having a pack of Flashes (quads) go hunting for armored vehicles. If you like metaphors think of a wolf pack going after a bison. Same concept there.

FPClark · 2012-06-13, 11:41 PM

Actually now that you mention it I had a stint in BF1942 where I would play on "stunt" servers. Probably gonna try a lot of those things as well.

windlord · 2012-06-14, 12:16 AM

Btw vehcile surfing can be done. I saw it in one of the E3 vids where totalbiscuit commented on it.

Again, those were just E3 alpha vids. They probably wont actually keep it, if they do...great, but highly doubtful due to just how unrealistic it is and as i mentioned, having AA maxs on the roof of a lib/galaxy would make it a bit OP :P

Most things seen in the streams will not be the same in release, or even beta.

Underground facilitys mines and dark tunel ( big enough for sunderer )) thats lead to bunkers with doors thats need to be hack on the other side under the ground a kinda HUGE very huges underground caverns ( kinda super biodome )) (( VANU )) aliens bunker ruins whith tons of tunels full with strange plants and glowing mushroom and vanish vanu alien installation and defense !

this could be the most amasing expansion ever made

tons of exploration and really space atmospheric figth i would like to experience this kind of thing and even if they can ad some Vanu defense systhem thats need to be conter or hack it could be even more awesome
