I had a idea about a video game. Constructive Criticism is welcome. Feel free to add, subtract (multiply, divide lol) to this too. Give me your thoughts about the idea and ways to improve and such.
Title and Theme:
War on Terror
The theme would be a modern FPS that takes place in Iraq and Afghanistan. There would be missions based on real life events. It would be a free roam.
Character Ideas
For your character I thought it would be cool to be able to customize him. In order to customize him you first need to unlock items (gun, camo) by ranking up. After you unlock the items you can go back to base or other strongholds around the city and customize your soldier, giving him new weapons, camo, and gear. You also get a squad that follows you around the city. You are part of a 5 man squad. Your other men specialize in explosives, marksman, machinegunner, and medic.
Explosives expert: Usually carries anti tank rockets. Breaching equipment.
Marksman: Could be considered an urban sniper. Usually carries single fire guns and it able to accurately take out enemies at farther distances with more damage too
Machine Gunner: Carries the heavier machine guns (SAW, M60)
Medic: Able to revive dead teammates
The wounded and dead situation would be based off COD. You would have regenerating health (so would your squad) but if they lost all there health they die and they are no longer there to assist you. If that happens your medic and use a defibrillator to revive them, but if you die and your medic cannot assist you or is dead your have to restart mission/checkpoint.
Ranking Up and Money
In order to rank up you much earn XP. XP is earned by doing various tasks and mission. You can earn XP by killing enemies, completing mission, and some other smaller things too. You can also get XP bonuses by doing special things like getting headshots on enemies or completing a mission without dying or with perfect accuracy. You also get money for doing these things. You get a money bonus when you rank up. Money can then be used to buy weapon attachments or vehicle upgrades of your choice.
General Gameplay, Weapons and Vehicles
If I havent mention this will be a free roam game with select able unlockable missions (unlock them by ranking up) and other smaller quests. You are free to roam the city but be warned, terrorists do attack. Depending on what rank you are will depend on how hard the enemies get during the attacks. Depending on what vehicle you're driving also determines what the enemies uses to counter you. You are free to use all the vehicles but you must first go back to base. In the beginning all you have is your vehicles with no upgrades. You can use money earned to upgrade vehicles so that they now have certain missiles, machine guns, grenade launchers and such. If you drive a tank around the city be warned that terrorists will use RPG's, Mounted Machine Guns, and even IEDs. If you are flying a jet or helicopter expect to see and enemy helicopter or jet. After you complete the game (in a sense) I think you should be able to "turn off" the attacks or "turn off" the enemies during free roam.
More Gameplay
This is a free roam again. You are free to choice what you want to do (for the most part). You can complete missions or smaller quests. Once you rank up you unlock harder missions and quests. If one of the missions is to secure a helicopter crash across the city you are free to choice how you get there. You will be able to control your squad to some extent. Mainly Attack, Defend, Stay Put, Follow up. Maybe some other commands to where you can look at a location, press a button, and your squad will go to that point. Once you complete a mission or quest you are back to free roam option. You can go back to base to use vehicles,customize your soldier, and upgrade your weapons. There are local "strongholds" around the city. They are secure areas where you are able to go and customize your soldier or upgrade your weapon. Most of the time there will not be vehicles there. When you rank up a few times you will unlock 3 or 4 weapons. 1 for each class. Once you unlock better weapons your squad mates will automatically upgrade their weapon. Once you have reached the highest rank you will be able to keep playing and there will be other quests and missions to complete, but you will only be getting money. Your squad members rank up with you. (Unless you would like an option to be able to rank them up separately)
I think this would be really nice to run with Frostbite 2.0 B)
That's all I can remember since I had this idea like 6 hours ago when I was really tired.
Feel free to rate (poll) comment. Give me some more ideas.
TL:DR Too bad read it anyways
