Campaigns centered on the other factions?

Post by RedShocktrooper »

I just had a pretty random thought I figured I should share.

Campaigns centered on the other factions. For instance, a period where you play as a Collective player smashing up some Scavengers and eventually siding with Nexus as an ally, or a campaign where you play as a New Paradigm commander.

Some ideas:

The New Paradigm campaign takes place alongside Campaign Beta. It is essentially using underhanded tactics to try and push NEXUS out - I consider the NP the faction most likely to be unwillingly sided with Nexus, since you have to attack them (even accidentally) to gain their ire, as opposed to the inverse.

The Collective faction has its missions set between the Collapse and WZ's Alpha campaign, as well as the initial attacks on the Project's base in Collective territory, and the destruction of the player's transport even.

EDIT: In short, campaigns that shine the spotlight on the other two factions, and flesh them out.

ShadowWolf TJC is thinking along the same lines: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9523 :)

Like Goth ZT I feel it's a really interesting concept, in particular it will bring a whole new perspective to the game, seeing things form the other side of the fence so to speak.

Also, NoQ made a Challenge map recently where you play as New Paradigm allied with some Scavengers: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=6005&start=345#p103546

Well, i am planning one or two sequels for this :oops:
but it won't make a campaign because you won't be able transfer units from one mission to another.

@NoQ - when the 3.2 JS API is out, it should be possible via the global (cross-game) storage object :)
