Default Random ideas that will never be implemented - 04-12-2004

See thread title.

two Webcams on top of monitor create 3d image of face. this is then placed onto the player model in realtime. Also, crosshair/sights follow eyes, so you just have to look at an enemy and pull the trigger. great for firing in a direction you're not going.

Real grenade physics - you can kick them, shoot them, play pool with them etc.

A 'go to toilet' button. you have a slowly increasing bladder meter, when it reaches a certain point, speed decreases, accuracy decreases. if it reaches top, player is reduced to walk, and leaves a yellow trail enemy can follow, as well as a dark patch appearing on model. Meter is drained by finding hidden point, and pressing button. If another player wanders into line of sight, drain of meter stops, and random chance of a few HPs worth of damage, to represent zipping up too quickly.

Random coughs and sneezes, especially when trying to sneak up on someone.

Phobias, especially of the dark. screen shakes when ambient light dips below a certain number.

Body baricades, bodies can be piled up and hidden behind, somewhat like gory sandbags.

The Trench Consturction Kit, Soldiers are provided with a spade, and can make a foxhole to hide in, or, if given enough time, a whole trench to MG the Hun from.

Hunger, another meter, Food, starts at full, and decreases at a rate depending on stress and level of activity. High stress and high activity levels increases it quickly. Replenished by breaking open a 'ratpack' or visiting a mess-tent.

Smell, similar to radar, but influenced by wind direction.

Spot The Dot, weapons with lasersights cause blindness/lighting effects if shone at head.

"Hey, who's given me blanks?" or random practical jokes - rounds in magazine are replaced with blanks, a number of stones are placed in backpack, reducing speed, pistol fires a flag marked 'bang', 'Kick me' sign on back. Possibly have a Practical Joker Class?

veteran conversation, only lets you see messages players that have play the same or better than you, so you don't have to read all the n00bs whining about how they always get killed.

One join, one life, just like in real life, if you get killed, you have to start again, by rejoining the server. Possibly use bots to encourage people to play?

Just a few random thoughts.
