This idea is technically in the "experimental"* stage, so I thought I'd get some feedback before i actually started putting a lot of hours into it. I won't say outright what the inspiration is, though. I'll give a synopsis and see if anyone picks up on it immediately.
*Experimental meaning I'm testing out abilities and the like first to make sure it's even feasible.
The Scourge's spread across Lordaeron fractured the human kingdoms and their alliances. After the Alliance dissolved, many factions and groups survived by offering their services to others. Military factions had the most to offer.
One such group came out of the ashes of the highest echelons of Lordaeron's military. The order of Paladins had been working with the military to assemble a small squad of elite soldiers skilled in both combat and arcane arts. They were trained to harness their latent psionic power and focus it to enhance their abilities as warriors. They are capable of magically strengthening their armor, traveling great distances in short time, enhancing their own strength, and even dissapearing from sight.
While attempting to flee the destruction of Lordaeron, this squadron was approached by stranger with an offer. An Alliance archaeological expedition had been examining ancient ruins offshore when the scourge struck. They were virtually untouched by the war until, for reasons unknown, Orcs arrived on the island and seized control. They have captured all the humans on the island and taken over the excavation of the ruins.
As a member of this specialized corps, it is your job to investigate the island and why the Horde is suddenly so interested in possessing it. Be careful, and use your abilities wisely. It is up to you, now, to resolve this crisis.
COOL STUFF PLANNED:
-Character abilities that allow you to strengthen armor, move quickly, go into a berserk mode, cloak, and more.
-Weapon items that can be picked up throughout the map
-Big battles with stuff like artillery. Yes, long-range artillery. We're talking shooting across a quarter of the map here.
-Big maps (conducive to awesome artillery battles).
So? What do you think?
*And if you honestly couldn't guess, I'm basically thinking of making a WC3 version of Crysis.
