Under the sea

[HawkEye]

that would be sweet if there were landing craft with a machine gun on it.

and if u could do amphibious landing and have a battle like d-day.
that would be soo cool

[�io]

I have to agree, i'd much rather see more weapons, certs, implants and ground/air vehicles than see water combat implemented.

[Hamma]

Ditto

[HawkEye]

ya that would be sweet also.

Sando138 asked for an apc that could transport people accross a river, but hey, just join the vanu, or hack a vanu craft. They can already cross over rivers wbecause they're hovercraft.

[Hamma]

No, they can't. They sink like any other vehicle after a few seconds.

As for a APC that can cross rivers/lakes. There already is one

[Headrattle]

Well I was wondering about what they would use as an expansion pack.
I don't like the idea of boats, though a small anphebius unit would be neat.

There are warp gates, these gates are the basis of the technology and you can't do anything without them.
This and instant travel between continents cuts out the need for boats.

But what about bases under sea.

You put a "continent" under sea, say you can't get off of it because of large choking seaweed that hasn't been cleared yet. (or whatever, something that makes it impossible to get off or far away from the "continent.") Maybe these continents are mining colonies or something. Say that the Warpgates connecting to the land continents just got reactivated.

Now put bases, tarrain, cool wierd plants, "weather effects" sunken alien ships, ancient atlantis type cities, and add different vehicles and equipment.

Now you might have a game that is a little more "tribes" (though that isn't what I am going for) because the heavy armor can't jump or swim that high, but the lighter ones could have a piece of equipment that allows you to float or swim (fly). The weapons could have different effects, and stats. You can have air in the bases, for regular combat, and physics.

Have slow undersea crawlers, and light fast under sea subs to have the equivolent of tanks and aircraft.

In other words. When/if PS gets really popular you can expand the game and possibilities by adding a few undersea "levels" for people tired of the same ol' combat with the same ol' physics.
Plus a game that expands with it's popularity is good. How many expansions do all of those other MMOGs have?

Just an expansion idea.
And I like it better then boats and all that. Because if your ship sinks, you sink with it, or you get out of it... and sink. Because Ships will have very little to do with the bases you are trying to capture. Because I just don't see a reason for it in any way.

I like the idia headrattle, but it would be better off being a completly different game

[BLuE_ZeRO]

screw water combat! we need space combat... and jetpacks... and maybe some mech type vehicles!

With this being called Under the Sea I need to post this, I think it solves this issue as well

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such beautiful things around you
What more are you looking for


Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we're devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea


Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in the bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worse of fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who's gon' be on the plate
Oh no!


Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We what the land folks love to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
Under the sea
Since life is sweet here
We got to be here
Naturally
Even the esturgeon and the ray
They get the urge and start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea


The lewt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice pay the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
You know where it's at
And oh that blowfish blow


Under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got a lot of sand
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here cuttin' a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail here know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter under the water
Yeah we in luck here
Under the muck here
Under the sea

Must...kill...Bighoss...
Anyways, underwater would take less rendering than land. The planet has no moons, right? So no tides. Make the ocean floor a little smoother than land, and basic particle effects for splash from ships. Make subs basicly air vehicles (but really sluggish) that can't go past the surface of the water. If they want (I wouldn't care), add wakes, and there you go. No bothering with trees or grass, less seperate rocks on ocean floor, less bases/towers (you know they would be widely spaced if they had them in water), etc.

[Bighoss]

can't believe you don't like that song Its a classic

[Sando138]

Gamer-senses tingling.... something about that 'as for APCs that cross lakes and rivers... there already is one '.... unless he's referring to the galaxy. my point is that a big flyinggunship isn't always available, IE you havent captured (or your enemies have) a dropship center. then you have no option but to go through easily defendable pinchpoints and bridges. meaning suicide.

[NeoTassadar]

Omish driveby on Bighoss!
*put*put*put*put*put*BANGBANG*put*put*put*put*
No hard feelings

[Duritz]

The deliverer can be put into amphibious mode, so you dont really need to have Galaxies to get across rivers.
