Futuristic world conflicts. Any futuristic game involving fighting ends up being like UT or something along those lines. We need more games like Planetside (and I mean that just settingwise). You can, of course, mix a bit of post apocalyptic in there, that's always fun if done right.

More medieval fantasy games? What are you guys smoking, and where can I get some? Honestly, don't we have enough? Steampunk all the way man.

I agree with Dragon Lord on the Sci-Fi comment. It's a fairly untapped genre considering you can practically reinvent the rules. You can create new species with new civilisations and new conflicts or even harmonies. There's so much that can be done.

I chose modern because, even though it seems to be the theme for game-makers at the moment, I would like to see more, and a better variety of modern games.

However, reviewing my choice, I wish I had chosen Post-Apocalyptic, since they are often very interesting.

medieval is totally overdone and sux. modern time always ends up with CS like stuff and sux. if there would be more stealth oriented ones then modern time is ok. cyberpunk is also rather overdone and squeezed out. real sci-fi i miss a lot. most times it ends up in mecha-stuff or cyber-punk stuff, but that's only mlike 1% of what sci-fi can do. more of the other 99% would be good.

After 'other' I would vote Fantasy, then Steampunk/Cyberpunk/SciFi/PostApoc (which are essentially fantasy based in a possible future as long as they're not based on Human kind).

I went for cyberpunk - but I already had the disgusted notion that post apoc and modern would be at the top. People who vote for that sicken me!

See there's an excess amount of WWII games but there's an extreme lack of Civil War, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and my favourite WWI. I like the idea of a Desert Storm game, not exactly tactical like how Conflict: Desert Storm was more like head on combat.

cyberpunk, thats a genre that needs to be done more often

dystopia comes close, but technically it's 'dystopian' - which is slightly different

Public Enemy (hl1) is the definition of cyberpunk.

something different
EG set on another planet but in the past or anything with new ideas 'cos they should capture the imagination with mod players instead of all these CS and DoD clones

I don't really care where its set, as long as the mod has good production values, a large dedicated semi-professional team, and is popular online for a recent game.

games like Yuri's Revenge would be cool - games with the present and a little mix of the future (such as the weather machine). It was also great because it had also showed some of how the past used to be if you didn't notice! They had things such as Boomers, which the Soviet Union had used - the creators of this device; until they lost of thier money of course, lol.

That would be awesome, no? Or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Or the period of the Aztecs. Imagine a Natives vs. Columbus mod. that could be interesting. I love well-done mountains in video games.

Cyberpunk! I love the drizzly run-down "Bladerunner"-esque look. Gimme an "Elder Scrolls" type game in that style location, and you'd see one happy camper.

Modern day as games are more accurate, most games set in past times are usually ridiculously inaccurate and all games set in the future have predictions that are pure rubbish.

Different settings. Games have huge potential for their own style, but only a handful of people in the world do anything about it in any meaningful way.
