The Big Game Hunters

Ok this is my original idea based on my map Eternity Wars, which is not finnished.

It is like a game of life, loap. Accept you become a bounty hunter, and what you do is basically kill. Well each periodic event you will get a quest to kill somebody, it could be a player, a gang boss, or just some ordinary guy. Whatever it is, you will have a hard time to find that person because you will have to search for clues, and those clues are given in the quest description. If you get the kill you will get your bounty and you can save your kill count in the end of the game. Well the other gameplay is up to you.

Well if u want to think outside the box i have an idea for you its not that big but you could put in in any map i suppose but, the basic idea is chaos and every few mins somthing happens for example every player gets a random partner, there main building is replaced by a diffrent race, infernals fall from the sky, but all in all a normal game with a little chaos thrown in

No offence but how is that original? A bounty hunter sent out to kill people.

I don't understand why everyone always says "i need ideas cause i can't think of anything original" cause i always a have so much ideas that i constantly start over, so nothing ever gets finnished...

well anyway here is one of my older ideas that i never used:

there are 2 teams of hero players that have to kill each other. they can resurrect at specific points on the map that are like haunted goldmines. if one team doesn't have any haunted goldmines, they can't resurrect. if all players of one team die, they lose...

just an idea but maybe usefull nonetheless

TennisCraft? a Space RTS (start off with Main Ship and build and armada and conquer the universe? WeirdCraft (everything is backwards, an Infernal summons Dreadlords from the earth and Paladins Unholy Shield makes them un-invulernable... Nightelfs instead of hiding become visible... Skeleton Archers summon Dark Rangers from corpses.... the Alchemists Transmute costs gold.... doing damage actually heals and healing does damage.)

Well theres a project I was thinking of doing but cant for lack of trigger knowledge.

It is basically taking the Warcraft II Tides Of Darkness & Beyond The Dark Portal missions and making them in Warcraft III. If you haven't played that, shame on you! Go look it up :p. If you want you could make both race campaigns, though it could be confusing at times. Remember; Peon=Peasant, Ogre=Knight, Footman=Grunt, Archer=Axethrower, Etc.
I think it would be an interesting thing, and people who cant find WC2 could play it on WC3! :D

Last night I played a very origonal map... Parallel Escape. Its a Escape/maze map where you have to escape but you can teleport from the Real World to the Parallel World. its very noice. You come up to a place where the path ends and you must teleport to the parallel world and thats where the path begins. Its very fun.
 
Try to make a first person shooting game.
But you will need of lots of trigger knowledge.
I don't recommend that, I have tried, but
1) the camera is very hard to be placed so that you can actually view from the first person view and to keep the camera accurately in front of the unit...
2) the player would view all units and terrain more closely and see all the faults and bad quality stuff easier

so if you want to make a shooting game, I recommend to do it in 3rd person
(I have done one game and it turned out fine, except the "small" lag issues due to some leaking triggers...)
No ... please no more Aos :eekani:

What about joining a team, or create your own one, to create something more big ... like a campaign or somesthing similiar ... I know a bit off-topic now, but I never seen a "Multi-Player" Campaign ... isn't it possible ?

Chaos:infl_thumbs_up:
I am currently making one :D , but it isn't really a campaing, just a bunch of multi-player maps that all share the same hero, item skill and other data so players can save and load their hero in other maps.

So multi-player campaings are possible to make, but they just require a lot of work...
