FPS + RTS Thread

This game would be a mix of FPS and RTS. The teams would be mu people against 1. The group team would have a third or first person view and their objective would be to kill the 1 enemy. But the enemy will have an RTS gameplay so he could make building and produce soldiers to take out the players trying to kill him. Their would be different types of scenarios like a desert combat area (team is marines and RTS guy has terrorists)or the RTS guy can create aliens (from the movie aliens) or something like a fantasy area with knights and mages. The group team will be able to customize their characters and pick equipment. Depending on the scenario, the RTS guy would have different forms like an alien queen or the Overmind or a general in a command room.

I have no experience with modding so I need help. Possible engines for this game I was thinking: Half-Life 2 or Unreal Tournament 2004. Tell me what you guys think of this idea and If you could help with the production in any way.

good idea, but i bet it would be very hard to make. i know its possible to turn hl2 into an rts, but to have rts and fps in one mod at the same time might be impossible.

sounds like savage.. or natural selection.

or even Total Annihilation (with the spring engine)

its possible.

Thats alot like Iron Grip : The Oppression. They are looking for help though - so you may want to join them.

Yep. Sounds just like Savage. You know its abandonware now...you can dl the demo and search the net for a free cd key.

Our project is actually taking the "leader" idea from Savage (yes I know Battlefiled 2 is doing it but WE planned to do it first ) and put it into an MMO. Setting waypoints for people in realtime as a commander is just really really cool.

no you cant. moddb does not condone such activity.

If it's abandonware, the game's makers don't give a flying s**t about the game.. so it's not really subject to Copyright laws.

I apologise if I'm wrong

Sounds like a sweet ass idea dude Get it sorted out!!

The devs publically stated the abandonment of the software and even PUBLISHED a public CD key.

Dont want to start a flamefest, but Id check your facts before you contradict someone.

No in savage the 2 teams have the FPS and RTS. And the 2 team can build and fight.
The idea of him is make a mod, that 1st team just fight in FPS way (no building, just fight) and the other team Build buildings and fight everything in a rts way.
