Im here. Nvm bout that last post.
I'd say that the mod won't go very far untill we put all of our ideas together and decide what exactly this mod is gonna be about... Why wait for the new forum system. We can decide the most here...
Thats how I'd see the mod:
You are the leader of a 1337 SWAT squad called "Blue thunder". Your name is John Martin. Nothing bad about this name, but it's much like John Smith, if you know what I mean...
At the start of every mission you will recieve a briefing and the plan of the assault. You will be able to choose/buy? your gear before the start of the mission.
The equipment:
The weapons will have no crosshair and will be aimed like in real life. You will be able to choose/buy? different kinds of kevlar vests, helmets, boots (make you run faster). The game should have all three kinds of grenades like in Cs, maybe we could even think of more, like fragmentation grenades (grenades that explode on impact). The weapons would be a couple of different SMG's, some rifles, a shotgun, one or two smiper rifles. We should also be able to have special equipment, like lockpicks, toolkits, door breaching explosives (C3, i think) and more.
Movement:
The default movement will be walk, you will be able to select run. (the opposite of counter-strike). Your movement speed will decrease permanently if you get wounded. (e.g you won't be able to run when shot in the leg).
Story:
All the missions will be related with this terrorist guy, who is causing all kinds of mayhem. The story about the terrorist assaulting a small gun store is pretty unrealistic, imo. I suggest that the brother he's about to kill would work in some kinda bank or sumpin. I also suggest that some of the storyline would be revealed within the missions, so that the player would want to go on playing them. (like in HL, where at the start you know ~20% of the real storyline, and at the end ~99%).
Well those r my ideas, now post yours.
Madcow: Ok, I'll try draw sumthing.. Btw i have some concepts of the terrorist, ill scan em next week, coz i havent been able to scan them this week..
