What about a WW2 styled FPSMMO?
The game wouldn't be small maps here and there. I mean the entire freaking War in ALL theaters from 1938 to 1947. Locations would include Africa, Italy, Russian, Japan, Germany, U.S., The Pacific, Philippines, and so forth. The graphics would definitely looks like Medal of Honor, maybe even Call of Duty quality. The environments would be grand and detailed but optimized for network play on a massively multiplayer scale.
To keep things engaging introduce major and minor events from the war every few months. These events would be "locale" and "world" changing events.
- German players could participate in the events surrounding Germany's invasion of surrounding countries (France, Norway, etc.) before the war begins.
- Soviet Union players would be involved in famous battlegrounds like Stalingrad, and the defense against Germany's invasion into their motherland.
- Japanese Empire players would be involved in the infamous Pearl Harbor bombing while American players would defend.
- American players would engage German players in the Afrika Corps offenses.
And so on and so forth. The game would be a MASSIVE undertaking consider the amount of information to present to the gamer. I think 4 years of development then the incremental minor/major events on a quarterly basis would make one of the BEST FPSMMO ever.
Age wise, the game has the potential to have a strong subscriber base for about 2 years. A year and a half post-launch an expansion should be planned that includes experimental weaponry, armament, and so forth. In addition there would be new commander level classes introduced that will give players to ability to command large groups of players.
Anyhow that's my idea... SOE can run with it if they wish...
