Just an Idea

[StarkWolf]

Hello all, I had an idea yesterday. I know this sounds kind of unreal and what not but I am a huge transformers fan and I was thinking what if some of the BF2142, instead of a secondary fire would have a transform function? Now I'm not talking about a transform into a giant robot and raise hell but possibly transform into something a little different.

For example I was thinking the walker could have the legs fold up and deploy a hover craft system and float over water (for something like Tunis Harbour or Wake Island). I know it doesn't have a lot of relevance on these maps but its just an idea. I had another one, the APC could transform into a stationary bunker with the mortar cannon on top and the 5 other guns would become a surrounding gun ports for defense. I know that in some maps these things wouldn't be needed but I thought it was a cool idea. Stressing the idea. I imagine new maps might be made to accommodate this idea of the vehicles having a secondary transform ability.

Thanks for reading. Stark.

Morphing vehicules, I like the Idea. Does the BF engine support that?

I like i LIKE!

ehh... I think that would be a little goofy for 2142. I could maybe see something like the "transformation" of the Terran Siege Tank from Starcraft (basically just deploys some stabilizers and reconfigures the gun to fire bigger rounds), but I think that's about all the "transforming" you could get away with in 2142 and still be taken seriously (well, as seriously as you can take a game with this kind of premise, anyhow).

Maybe in a mod, but for the main game, not so much.

Games like Battlezone and Uprising were a bit like that. A good mix of RTS and 3D.

ill love a car, that can transform to a gunship... something like Men in Black 2... dont you love that mercedez???

[StarkWolf]

I was thinking something like the Seige tank too. But I don't know if the game engine supports that. I was just pondering the idea. I think the APC to a bunker would be cool. As long as you have an Enineer or two repairing it from the out side you could have a mobile bunker and if your squad leader was in it you could spawn in it. Does anyone else have any other ideas?

the walker legs can fold up so yes bf engine does support that

Well i remmember the huge tank from Unreal Tournament 2004, slow, with 5 people on it, if you right click, it will settle down, and take out THE BIG GUN!!!, hell that thing was LOTS OF FUN!!!

the leviathan!

C&C construction yard like.

Something UT2004 Leviathan like is also a great idea as long is for defensive measures.

I just thought of another one... the FAV could transform into a new anti-infantry turret? The gunner position would become the turret gunner and the driver position would do something, I don't know but it would be cool. Speed through Gib and setup a turret where you want to mow down enemy troops?

Where are the fix the bugs first or too much hassle, recreation and testing for an old product comments?

Interesting. I don't know if it would work in BF2142 or if it would even make sense in a BF2142 setting.

I like it though!

Because we don't want to hear those comments. We are all about expanding our imagination here man! haha

Seriously though, I dislike people like that who won't let their imagination take over for a bit.

Maybe the walker could have treads built into the legs. Press a button, and it folds down onto the treads and works like a tank, providing a more stable firing platform for the pilot and gunner, while also protecting the vents but decreasing maneuverability in tight areas.

This has potential, but also has the potential to be overdone into a cheesy feature which is implausible. If anything like this is ever taken up, I'd advise it to be done in moderation and on a limited scale.

That being said - damn fine idea! :)

What if i am a matrix fan, then I want the next patch to allow me to dodge bullets? And when I need a medic, I say "hit me"?
"requesting supply" to "there's no spoon"?

[The_Eliminator]

lol matrix style battlefield would be awesome, the ability to see everything in slomo and dodge bullets :O
