Hijack 911(working title)

[DarkShot]

I have this insane idea for a mod involving hijacking a commercial airliner.....

level starts in a commercial airliner. (either in the air or on runway)
players can apply to be the pilot at the start of a round like they apply for the commander position in bf2.
the pilot's objective is to keep terrorists out of the cockpit and to fly the plane thru a series of chekpoints.
spawn as a terrorist with a boxcutter or spawn as a passenger with the ability to punch.
passengers spawn in seated positions but can press "e" to get up out of the seat and walk around, but be warned. if a terrorist sees you out of your seat he can kill you and can get points.
terrorists can kill passengers that are seated but will result in a minus score.

sneaky passengers can play musical chairs to get close enough to terrorists to beat them into submission.
will require more than one person to take down a terrorist as one punch will only give a dazed effect.

allies win once the pilot succesfully finishes the route and lands safely or if the passengers can beat up all the terrorists.

axis win by taking control of the airliner and crashing it into a specific building or once all passengers are dead and cannot spawn.
axis can stop passengers from spawning by breaching the cockpit and killing the pilot.

bare in mind passengers can also reclaim the cockpit. the first passenger to secure the cockpit and take over controls becomes a new pilot.

if there is one passenger left and the terrorists kill him while he is in his seat the terrorists lose.

i have alot more ideas (like making the terrorists unknown to everyone until they pull out a boxcutter for example) and things i have to work out (like how the cockpit is to be breached)
but for now i would like some feedback on wether or not this is an actual good idea for a mod and if you would play it or not.

feel free to post any ideas/praise/critisism you have

if i get enough interest i will start recruiting a team to put this mod together.

Sounds good, but i dont think you can make it with the BF2 engine and editor! And shoun't use ''911'' in your title because i think a lot of people dont like that, and are still in schock of the terrorist attack on 911 :eek:

Edit: I see you dont ment the terrorist attack on 9-11 but I shoud'nt use it ;)

[[21CW]larrycbleguy]

Hey that sounds pretty interesting I'd definitely try it out if you make it I bet it'd be loads of fun.

[DarkShot]

also the 911 does not stand for Sep 11. currently it stands as the emergency phone number. in no way will this mod be a recreation of events which happend on September 11th. it will be more a fictional recreation of simliar events.
there will be NO NewYork map or twin towers model.

[Bobton]

ok, 911, box cutters, airplane

yeah, who would think about September 11th? Be realistic.

[DarkShot]

i am not sure how a flying spawnpoint with corridoors and split levels would handle in teh bf2 engine. i know the starwars mod galactic conquest had flying capital ships that moved in space and u could run around inside them and that was in the 1942 engine.
my only worry is that with the bf2 engine will not allow players to walk inside a moving vehicle without being team killed.

and ffs i was jokin about the box cutters lol. they can just have knives or something

[DarkShot]

btw i agree on the 911 part not being used in the title, hence why i called it a "working title" which means i will change the name when i think of a better one.
if you have a cool idea for a name for this mod i welcome suggestions.

[gungho]

sounds a good idea, can passengers take weapons from terrorists they have taken out ? Might be a good idea to have a plane with 2 levels, seperated by a staircase & maybe a small service elevator. (I'm thinking of that film wit Steven Segal where he retakes a plane mid-air, cant remember the title).

[Nathan0490]

yeah the 911 title definetly needs to be changed..

[GlobalFear]

Sounds cool.

One problem that I see is all of the civilians getting up and trampling the terrorists as soon as they expose themselves. Noone is afraid of dieing.

Should also give the pilot a pistol. Revolver or low capacity automatic.


I agree on the name change. Bit of bad taste.

[DarkShot]

if anyone played the airliner level in "Perfect Dark" on the N64 i am planning for a similar design. so possibly 3 levels if you include a luggage bay. deffinately a service elevator. maybe a broken one which u have to climb.
everything you would find on a commercial airliner i will consider including light switches, moving food trays, a first class area etc...

also i was thinking this mod could eventually expand into more levels so i must think of some other levels which would involve terrorists and the public.
Im thinking trains, subways, shopping malls or famous landscapes like bridges or the sydney opera house lol.

Thats why the terrorists did it on September 11th...

The date is 9/11 or 9-1-1...

[DarkShot]

btw teh name of that steven seagal movie was Executive Decision which would be a cool name for this mod now that i think about it lol.

[Ev0]

As if it was a terrorist attack.. but still I would think of a diff. name :D

[Cirap]

if you want your mod to be infamous, go for it

"the mod which's purpose is to kill civilians... in the thousands"

I can already see Hilary Clinton going crazy about BF2

[Garrison0586]

think you'd have chance on the Source Engine....

[Pedro]

sounds nice... but allies and axis? wtf?

[imported_Animalmother]

lol, I think it would turn into some crazy ka map in counterstrike. But I would definitely play.

[AceofSpades555]

Thats really gay dude 911 Hijack sounds like the worst idea ever i dont think anything should be based on what happened that day especially a game what are u tryin to do glorify it. And its not the name that needs to change its everything. Bad Idea ******* try to come up with somethin that dosent remind us of terror against our country :mad:

For the record, no, that's not. The reason is because the prior day, a monday, was not a very nice day, thus few people would be outside, the more people outside the more shock value would be achieved, which is truly what the entire thing was about, moreso than killing people, making a huge spectacle of the U.S.

Eh, ok. First off 911 and 9/11 are not the same thing. DarkShot already said that the name was based on the emergency phone number and he also said that he will most likely change the name. Please READ the posts.

Also, what do you want us to do? Should we BAN the movies from the 80's, action movies, with van Damme and Wesley Snipes as well? Those that had to do with planes being overtaken by terrorists? Please.

By the way I find your post to be full of hypocrisy, considering the fact that you play a game about WAR - you enjoy killing people but oh no, hi-jacking an airplane oh no.. that is just not acceptable as a game.

I for one support this idea, it sounds like fun and different from your typical BF gameplay. You mentioned the level in Perfect Dark, I also wanted to do this in BF42 :D

Could you try to be a little mature? :rolleyes:

If done right it could be a great map.

Another interesting route to take would be stages to the level.

Part 1: Terrorists attempt to seize plane. If they succeed go to 2a. If they fail go to 2b
Part 2a: Terrorists land plane at airstrip and demand fuel. The civilian team is swapped for SWAT or Special Forces
Part 2b: Civilians land plane in desert and come under fire from terrorists on the ground. Using seized weapons the civilians must defend the plane
Part 3a: Terrorists take off again. SWAT members snuck aboard the plane during 2a and are going to retake the airliner. They must avoid killing civilians/NPCs or suffer a significant point loss.

[Senap]

Is it possible to branch levels like that?

[GlobalFear]

Why noy, just have multiple maps.
The 2a/2b part could get a little tricky though.

[Megaraptor]

This is a bit tasteless...best make the jetliner on the ground like the Marsielles Hijacking map in Who Dares Wins.

[Senap]

Maybe it's possible through the python script. Would be great for campaigns, no matter what mod.

I agree on the name change. Bit of bad taste.

Believe me you don't want any firearms into an airplane if you want to keep it realistic. And this thread has gone way too off topic and politic. If you keep this and only talk about sep. 11 this thread will be locked. But i like unique ideas for modding.

[Senap]

Well aren't pilots going to get pistols IRL in the cockpit - in the US?

It would be great if the setting was prisoners vs. guards. If you've seen the movie Con Air, you know what I'm talking about ;)

[King Cockery]

Yeah but if you fire a weapon in aircraft when it's high it will make a hole into it and depressurize the cockpit.

[GlobalFear]

A small hole in the side of the aircraft won't tear it in half.

[Megaraptor]

No but the air pressure will drop suddenly to levels where people cannot survive without oxygen masks. This will cause the temperature to drop to something like -50 degrees Fahrenheit. Not cool.

[GlobalFear]

Terrorist icepops :D

[MackTheKnifeAU]

Well, pistols can be given special ammo that won't penetrate the airframe.

BTW is that you Starscream with the idea?

[GlobalFear]

What, BBs?

Aircraft aluminum is some pretty thin stuff.

[exocet]

Yawn.
