OK; hi; this was done in a text file as I was playing Soldat some time ago. I apologise if the ideas have already been used.


TO MAKE SOLDAT (EVEN) BETTER


PLAYER CUSTOMISATION
-------------------------------------
Looks
> Capes, Hats, Ties, Goth Spikes, Scalfs, Headphones ect.
Clan Affilaition:
> Instead of Having: RJA | Player; have a seperate text box for entering this;
> thatway, this can be shown over the player's name.
Player Lookup:
> Have a database of players (registered only?) that shows their statistics, rank,
> avatar, clan ect.


GAMEPLAY
-------------------------------------
Test Mode
> A timelimit is set and you have to reach a specific goal. Things like Climbing to
> the top of a mountain, precision flying, killing 10 bots in a confined space, ect.
Grenade Status
> A little Circle would appear over your/team's grenades. This is so that
> you don't run over their grenade.
Firing Heavy Artillary Warning:
> Weapons like the M79, Law and posssibly the Barrete should be fired when the
> Mouse button is released. On Mouse Press, a little red '!' should appear over your
> characters head. This is so that bots/people dont get in your way (and hurt you)
> when you fire from these weapons.
Team Arrows:
> When a player from your team goes off your screen, an arrow should appear on the
> side of the screen, following that player. The arrow should be the primary colour
> of the player and should be outlined when the player is shooting. This way, players
> will be able to work more srategicaly.
Equipment:
> Like worms, have different equipment types, it could be Rope (swing from an
> overhanging poligon), 5% Extra Jet Fuel, Suction Cups (for scaling walls), ect.
Shaded out vision:
> In Realistic, shade out the areas that you can't see players in.



BOTS/BOT WAYPOINTS
-------------------------------------
Camping with Bots:
> Have trouble seeing people who arn't moving, and are more than 75% covered behind
> scenery.
Bot Types:
> Types should be put into the BOT file. See below.
Sniper Spots:
> Instead of "Stop and Camp" make it so that if the player is a sniper/camper, as
> designated in the BOT file, then they should camp more often.

WHEN DIEING/DEAD
-------------------------------------
Submachine Gun:
> If using a submachine Gun, and the triger is being held down when killed the submachine
> gun should keep firing until it hits the ground. This should only happen whe killed by
> a shot to the hand.
Jetpack Death:
> When flying, and (dieing upon) taking a hit to the jetpack booster, the booster that is hit
> should go out, with the other one still going, the player would spiral in the air like a
> balloon letting out all its air.


AT END OF GAME
-------------------------------------
End of Game Movie:
> Instead of going to a still frame of the winning player shooting a rival, it
> should go to the last 5 seconds of that winning player shooting down a rival.
Rank:
> At the end of the game, your average kills, feats and technique is weighed up to give you a
> final score. If you win more than 75% of the time when playing against people in your own
> rank, you will progress to the next one. If you lose more than 75% of the time, you will go
> down a rank.
> Feats could be things like Sniping 2 people in one bullet with the barette or knifing
> while doing a superman, ect. You may need to have done 2 different exotic moves (equivalent
> to your level and primary weapon) before progressing to the next level.

many have been suggested, if i get my way you will be able to change your looks :P. there all good ideas i dont think any would be implemented though

Yea Many of them is good ideas :) I like em but like Taal said,,

Interesting idea's but many of them were already suggested. Some idea's are way out of the league, and it would basically ruin soldat.

i dont like any of the ideas under "gameplay". the rest are nice

I like most of the ideas, just a few that seems out of whack. But some of the ideas I've never heard before, and thats pretty cool

Yeah, I was up at night playing; might be why they are whack. ;)

> Instead of Having: RJA | Player; have a seperate text box for entering this;

Like 2 texts box, one for clan, one for name?

I like it I like it..

I like the idea of giving a border around the clan name.

As for the "Player Lookup" idea, I don't think Marcinkowski can yet synchronize the game with the forums :-/

Grenade status is unrealistic (and yes, we know respawning soldaten with jet boots are unrealistic, too, contrary to popular belief :-P).

I love the "Firing Heavy Artillery Warning" (I absolutely hate people getting in my way when launching a rocket).

Team Arrows wouldn't be able to tell how far away a soldat is. A radar would be better, if anything at all.

I don't like the equipment types idea, but I do the idea that line-of-sight also applies to polygons instead of just enemies alone.

The SMG idea... I think that should only go to Realistic, if at all :-/

The "Jetpack Death" idea is quite similar to my own (only thing different is that a bullet has to hit the jet boots), but I'm not gonna assume anything.

I don't like the rank idea...

I'd like to see ranks go down, kind of like the 007 Goldeneye 64 kind of way:
Where's the armor? Lemmings award. Where's the ammo? Most dishonourable. Ect.

coaster man likes the teammat grnade option the best!

the team arrow have been mentioned many times and it sounds good everytime to me. BF2 has got a commander thing and other multiplay games will follow their way.

Thanks all for your kind words; a couple ideas were far out but hey, what can you do?
:P

Most of them are supa cool [and 75% suggested ^.^] and I love them !
I'd like to see them in soldat. Maybe just optional...
