Game play idea Thread - Warhammer 40000: There Is Only War

Theirs a few other mods ang ames that use the idea that i have for game play.

instead of having a normal game with the cross hair and hud remove the cross hair so that makes the player have aim, but have a hud indicating their ammunition and equipment. for health have a picture of their bodie and their body parts go red when they get shot, have that as the the health meater. for no cross hair add a iron sight for all the weapons so you are forced to aim or just the ability to look down the barrel so you have a general idea, also make the person going into iron sight show to every one else their aiming, and to make the gun even more interesting have weapon jams, so if your an ork your gun will probably jam alot, and you have to click the fire button repeatedly untill you've ungammed the weapon but have the character say something liek my guns jammed or something along thoughs lines.

i would draw a picture but i can not put into this post. but change the hud slightly for the player, like the bottom of the screen is a belt and a number of clips and the clip in your gun has an indicator as the amout of ammo, but for an imperial soldier have a imperial eagle in the middle of the belt, the ork have an orkish symbol and so on and so forth for different races.

also one other idea for weapon jams make it if your gun jams like 4 or 5 times, you break it while trying to unjam it and then have to go to a armory and get a new weapon, the only way to have your gun jam is if you fire your weapon on rapid fire or use sing shot and shoot to many times in a row. and i thought what could be done for the las weapons if you dont want to use ammo, but ammo would probably be a better idea. but my idea is to have the las guns with an over heat bar instead of ammo were you can shoot your gun as long as you want as long as you dont over heat or your gun jams then after 4 jams you come into the fact of breaking your gun, just another idea.

you're idea's are getting better dude, looking forward to telling sirsnipes to check this out. I'll get him to talk to ya, kk. If not, I'll talk for him. Also, talk to General Longo on ideas like this.

alrighty will do

ALRIGHTY weapons will jam as it seems appropriate, however on the hud screen we are going for asrealistic as we can ie a guardsman wont have a hud(catachans dont wear helmets)

however a stormtrooper could have your ideas as his helmet must have a hud

orks wont have huds but may have bionic vision(hud) a targetter over part of the screen)(lootas will sue this)

that idea for the health body meter is possible, however the percentage health meter is also very necessary (it is hard to see your remaining health with a body health meter). as for overheats and jams, there should be a button you press to unjam or "release the heat" of the gun, else if the gun fires in its jammed or overheated state it could explode or melt, but ork rockets have a chance of exploding and guard plasma guns melt if it overheats (shoot more then 1 time every 12 seconds)

BTW, hi

well hello to you General ^^, one question that i have is will the weapons have crosshairs or not ? i personally would make the game play with no crosshairs so you have to use iron sights and attempt to aim or just blind fire with your weqpon, the other thing i thought would be cool would be to leave out the kill system as i said before, exp. if you kill an ork dont have it say so and so killed so and so just leave it blank so he has to guess on weather or not he got a kill so he has to go over and find the dead boddy, then also leave out the tab menu that shows hoow many kills, if you leave these's things out the game will be alot more fun to play, their will be no more people going ah you stole my kill or why dont you do better, so that would leave out compatition and people getting angery at each other, so it would add a sence or real commbat into the game also if you think about it.

there are no crosshairs for guard, orks have em but orks have only 1 weapon with ironsights as ALL guard weapons have IS

and i like that

alrighy, sounds good, but will their be death messages and kill counts, with the killing of some one it shows and shows on the tab screen, i would rather leave that out make it even better.

we would have to keep the tab screen imho, but no kill or death messages sounds intrigueing

alright thats great new, will make the combat even better
