What would be neat.....

For a while, I have been thinking about what it would be like, if some game company went all out on trying to make the ultimate MMOFPRPG (Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Role Playing Game).  Instead of the traditional Sci-Fi or Fantasy world, EARTH would be modeled.  America, France, Germany, Russia, China, etc. etc.  all the major countries would be modeled.  When you first entered the Game World, you could choose which country, and what branch of the military.  Instead of small attacks where about 20 people takes on 20 other people.....it would be a country taking on a country.  Each country would have historically correct weapons and equipment, and it would work like Americas Army in how you choose what to be.  For example:  To be a Commander on the Battlefield, you'd have to take the Commander Training.  This would be the hardest of all the training, and would require you to know alot about the units and brigades, etc. etc.  your country has.  At the beginning, your High Command or CinC, would choose who your Allies would be, etc. etc.

Then the fun begins :)  Entire Brigades or Companys would be deployed throughout the world, taking place in some HUGE fights for Strategic cities or bridges, etc. etc.  and not only that, but EVERY branch would be modeled.  Navy, Airforce, Army, etc. with a wide variety of weapons for each.  I can just see it now..........

The CinC or HQ would decide to help X country take over X country.  At night time, you deploy your forces to their border.  This is a perfect time to take X country, because it is at war with another country.....

You launch the attack, your airforce goes in and wipes out as many Static Defenses, and as many Communications as they can.  Then comes the Armor and Infantry, moving across the border heading for the first town......you arrive, the city is empty....or so it seems.  Your armor and Infantry move through the town, wondering why it is so quite.........BOOM, an RPG smacks into one of your ammo trucks, creating a huge fire ball.  There is chaos in the streets as bullets and grenades go off.  You retreat out of the town, report to the General, and watch as the town is leveled by your AirForce....

Yeah.....it'd be a huge project, but it would rock :D

    personally, i think a game like this would b badass, dont get me wrong, the fantasy and sci-fi stuff is pretty good but c'mon, a game like this would add some much needed spice

    Agreed, i would definatly jump into a game like that. But you know alot of games are begining to break the mold and blur the lines...so maybe will see it one day.

    If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

    Have you tried WWII Online? http://www.wwiionline.com/ Sounds like you'd probably like it. Though it's not quite that global, only based in Europe at the moment. But I think they have or at least they had plans to eventually expand the war to Japan and other parts of the world in future updates.

    Hehe Jaguar, I played WW2OL for about 3 years :) So ya, that is basically what I got the idea off of, but with a larger world, more content, and weapons of today :)

    What would be hard about making a MMORPG like I said, is it would take ALOT of developement time if they wanted to get alot of stuff correct.  Maybe they could model only medium-large cities?  I don't know, but if I was to do a project like this, I'd go all out and model every city I could find.  But doing that would require a long Developement time, maybe 6-8 Years?  And the problem with that would be that the games coding and technology would have to constantly change to keep up with the times.  Unless of course the Dev team was huge :)

    I strongly agree, MMORPG need some spicing up.  Don't get me wrong either, I like Sci-Fi (Not Fantasy though) but that seems to be all there is.  Change is needed big time, otherwise MMORPG won't last much longer.  Almost every MMORPG out there today is *almost*  the same, excluding story line, player base and graphics.  Of course, I don't think we'll see a game like this for a couple more years. 


    [EDIT] The biggest problem with a game like this wouldn't only be Developement time, but it would also need a huge playerbase to keep it interesting.

    It'd take way to much development time and the server population for each time period would be to low.

    I dont think a game this huge would work too well, for a start i imagine most people would chose their own country, meaning they will be on at different times. Plus battles cant be too big because there is lag, and south korea would win due to them having the best internet in the world.

    Muahahahahahahaha

    MUAHAHAHAHAHA

    Yeah, lag could be a problem but like I said, I don't expect a MMORPG of this size for a couple more years.
