DRONE STRIKES from your PHONE !@#$%!

FireStormNova · 2012-06-18, 10:06 PM

Did you guys read the Gamesbeat interview?

We’re going to enable this thing…this is going to be like the hunt for Osama. It’s a map app, and what we’re going to be doing is allow players to fly a drone on their phone. And then if they have a high enough level in the game, they’ll be able to launch a drone strike. So gameplay out of your phone or your iPad, and it works on both iPhone or Android.

WOW i see some crazy things about to happen and change to the on line shooter is about to happen BIG!

I won't be impressed until I can impregnate someone through my I-phone

Hmm I'm uneasy about this and how PS2 PC requirements could be met by a phone.

It's a drone so you wouldn't need ps2 pc graphics anyway. Drones can have grainy pics ect. I think this is awsome and can't wait to see it in action and see what else they come up with.

I totally over-looked that part of the interview when i first read it. That's crazy. Course, I guess I can have my kid play "PlanetSide: Drone Strike" instead of "Bubble pop".

Cheers,

I hope such a thing will have restrictions on it beyond level...

So Bill is in an important executive meeting, gets a call, "I need to take this call..." Walks out of the room, and picks up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Dude, I need you to soften up some guys for me in hex A7, northwest corner, by the tower."

Bill hangs up, loads up the app, drops a drone, takes a dump, then goes back to his ever so important meeting.

He later comes home to find that taking that call and blowing to smithereens that annoying floating tin can called a Mag-Rider and it's crew of pop-corn fairies allowed his TR squad mates to then take the tower, providing the Terran Republic a vital spawn point and turning the tide of the battle with the Vanu in full retreat!

The more i hear about this game and its new features like this, the more my dreams are finally being realised of an RTS game but you control the individual soldier/unit.

I am so happy

And this adds to that, even if i don't have an Iphone or anything fancy device, will this be possible on a PC or does it have to be on a hand held device?
