Battlefront Game Ideas

[Rahl]

In light of the new LOTR-Conquest I wanted to make a battlefront-like game ideas.

I think that a great battlefront-esk game would be Halo BF. It would be awesome to be able to pick anything from Gunner/Medic/Demolitionest/Covert Ops (snipes) and heros like Master Chief and the Arbitor. Be able to play as the coventent and have the same classes. With vehicles like the warthog, pelican, ghosts, banshee, ect. Just me, Im a big halo guy, and it just seemed like an absolutly awesome game.

There should be a Battlefront-like game about WWII. With all the battles that occurred and vehicles/weapons used, that would make a great game, no? Obviously, they'd have to get rid of the real Nazi flag since people would be offended by it.

On a more serious note, yeah, that could be a good, game, although I'm not a big Halo fan.

If you find a good and simple Battlefield-like game maker, tell me.

EDIT: Oh, I misread your post and thought you said you were going to make a Battlefront-like game...

How about a StarCraft Battlefront game. That would be freakin awesome. That would make me spooge.

A friend actually wished for a Halo version of it. Also, Rahl, the term should be "Battlefield" like game, cause Battlefield 1942 was there before Battlefront and Conquest. For as far as I remember, Battlefield-like games:

- First project from the creators of Battlefield
- Battlefield 1942 with two expansions, Road to Rome and Secret Weapons of WWII, as well as a lot of mods including Battlefield Pirates.
- Battlefield Vietnam
- Battlefield 2 and several expansions
- Battlefield: Modern Combat
- Battlefield 2142

Look-alikes:

- Star Wars Battlefront and Battlefront 2
- Lord of the Rings: Conquest


Of all these games, I've played 1942 + expansions, Vietnam, Battlefront 1 and Conquest. Battlefront is my personal favourite. 1942 is good, but Battlefront vehicles play a bit smoother in my opinion. Vietnam was nice, but the vehicles (mainly airplanes) were harder to control.

Now Conquest has a lot of problems. The classes aren't as balanced as the other games, but nonetheless a great installment in my opinion. The option to still be able to get "vehicles" in the form of Ents, Trolls, Oliphants, Wargs and Horses is sweet and the more close-combat aspect to it is a nice change of the settings.

Are any of those playable online with the exception of the newer ones of course? And do you have to pay for them?

You forgot the 2142 expansion, BF: Bad Company, and the upcoming games BF: Heroes (lots of TF2 influence) and BF 1943 (basically a super-watered-down BF 1942 with all the perks of BF: BC)

And I haven't played anything pre-BF2, but the vehicles in the games BF2+ worked fine (aerial vehicles took some time to learn, but once you did that, you could fly like a pro. I had a friend who would always ask for someone to fly a new plane up to him when his was turning to ****, and he would tell them to bail out, and he would jump into their abandoned plane. The other one usually came to a crash landing in the side of enemy armor. He was ****ing insane. Oh, he also backflipped his choppers a lot).

All Battlefield-like games are made for online gameplay. They support single player, but EVERY one has online play, including the newest and the oldest.

Also, with the exception of BF: Bad Company, single player is basically a fight with-and-against bots.

True that. I like the addition in Battlefront and Conquest to have offline co-op campaigns.
