New gamemode idea

[Provo]

Okay so bear with me on this one : Think Planetside 2 or Heroes and Generals, the battle map. The two factions battle it out on the front for territory, but its done by trench lines. Also, trenchlines could be fortified by players; as would happen in The Great War.

No no no no no no no no no no no no
I play both games and enemy tends to be uneven and lines can be easily broken

Plus there will be a lot of "renegade" generals as called in heroes and generals sending men into the fighting just to level up their commander

Basically you will have certain sectors so heavily fortified there are enough men to keep a battle going for 3 hours, and some sectors with barely any men at all

Like in one war a group of german generals got together a great lot of men, pushed deep into soviet territory, pulled a stalingrad and got surrounded and decimated

But then again it would be fun

I mean itd certainly be fun. And thats why generals need to be smarter lol

Smart renegade general?

Never seen one

To succeed there you need to be in a clan or you will not know what your allies are doing, which is critical to strategic success

As i said most generals put all their men in one place, causing areas to be severely undefended and others impregnable

Trust me I have 200hrs in that game

[Coom Dimmadome]

No

[noone]

Nah, better something like Red Orchestra 2 instead.

[Lord Birdski]

Something like a conquest mode ?

[YourBoiTobycon]

I would love to see this mode!!!

[Horcerer]

Please, no.

[Provo]

I dont mean it would work exactly like Heroes and Generals

[Provo]

Just in the sense that one side could capture the other's territory and eventually win a war.

[Provo]

Also, tell me personal fortification of trenchs (sorta like Squad's FOB mechanic) doesnt sound cool.

Having pionere's and sappers being able to actually be, well, sappers would be nice, but the way Verdun is I couldn't imagine it working (and might not, even with these) besides clipping some barbed wire and maybe being able to place a sandbag or a couple feet of wire.

i would enjoy this is a long-term goal of the developers, although they definitely have more pressing things to attend to at the moment, such as the console port.

Yeah. Maybe one day we'll get some more depth to the gameplay. And have the units have more unique roles
