Cross Game Idea?

Post by Brisingr »

Ok I was woundering why the hell none of the big companies never made a game like warzone 2100 so I searched.

I found a game very simular to warzone 2100, Earth 2150 and by the looks I would say that both games where in production at the same time but Warzone 2100 maneged to get out there first.

I downloaded a demo of Earth 2150 and its actually a realistic version of warzone 2100 as in your units can run out of ammo and you need to send in a chopper to reload them.

Also mission sites are optional as in you can take any missions in any order (if multiple missions are there) on this world map.

Also a Tunnel network can be built, not like on command and conquer generals because you have to build the very tunnels themselves and even have underground battles.


So here is my idea (of course im asking people outside of the dev team to make this because the devs need to focus on warzone :D ).

We make a kind of hybrid game, we have all the tech and that of warzone 2100 but also we have a simular campaign to Earth 2150 and even a tunnel network, maybe even have underground bases.

Of course I will understand if people dont like this and I will understand if this topic is even deleted.

But those who are thinking about Earth 2150... I still see warzone as the best RTS game I have ever played and anyway Warzone 2100 is free now, Earth 2150 isnt (its still £10 on ebay :!!!: )
The world will only achive peace through the fire of war.

Played Earth 2150 when it came out, great game and similar to warzone with regards to modular unit design. My favourite faction was the ED.

Managing resources and supply lines is much more complicated in Earth, so much so that its a fundamental part of that game. Warzone is a faster RTS because its not so complex, the oil is gained automatically, it doesnt have to be mined then transported.

This and several other differences makes the games unique in their own way and they should stay that way. We want a modernised, constantly improved Warzone 2100, not a remake or mash up of other titles we have enjoyed over the years. Maybe one day someone will make the perfect rts with the right balance of rts features taken from all other rtss (like WoW did with MMORPGS, though its not perfect). But this Warzone project isnt that and even if it was where would we find the resources?

In case you hadn't already found it, there is a sequal to Earth 2150 set 10 years later, aptly named Earth 2160 and its currently available on Steam for just £2.99.

There is also a game--kind of a side sequel if you will--called "The Moon Project" that has the Eurasian Dynasty, United Civilized States and the Lunar Corporation and it takes place on the Moon, obviously.
