Kaiba-X Zombicide Kaiba-X HistoryWak The Death Blues Mix You think trench war fare is a bad idea. Wait until you instantly lose thanks to various chemical weapons. They need more Vietnam FPS. It'll be interesting looking for and hiding from the Vietcong who themselves made elaborate tunnel systems. They had a couple, it didn't do so well. Vietnam is short of shaky still even in today's world. I think...umm a Civil War FPS might work. I'd love to actually do one, it'd be awesome. That was already made, and the result was pretty mediocre at best. The game was History Channel- Civil War: A Nation Divided. Part of the reason the game sucked was not only because of its muddy graphics and terrible sound, but because gameplay was very generic, and the weapons just weren't good enough, since they were exactly like the guns of that time period: slow, weak, and very time-consuming to reload. Man...well I don't want another WW II shooter. I'm tired of those already. Couldn't they do some kind of future war with the same thing they are doing with Tiberium? I mean they could make a post-war thing afterwards I suppose. I don't think that's the way to go either. There are many games based on future/fictional wars. It would be best to do something different not done before or very rarely done. @Ace & Daxel: It was the Revolutionary War when they primarity stood in lines and it took long to reload. It was even the British mostly who stood in the lines. The Patriots used guerrilla tactics against them. The British stood out like a sore thumb and the Patriots were able to camouflage themselves in the trees. Look at this painting of a Civil War Battle:  They approached in lines and then went right at them. They didn't just stand there and fight they fought each other with bayonets and all. They used Handheld firearms, Rifles, carbines, and muskets, Grenades, and the Gatling Gun. It was the Revolutionary War that was described. A Civil War game wouldn't be a bad idea but many of you wouldn't like the weapons available.

Basically it was a hand cannon that they carried around, it failed so much that their cannons were so superior in range and firepower. Sure the hand cannon was good, but the 12 to 19 inch cannons were so damn good.

The Death Blues Mix Sakyh The Death Blues Mix
The market tends to stray away from games that linger in the uncomfortably gray. Get a man to read All is Quiet on the Western Front then see if WWI is a good setting for a FPS.I keep meaning to read that. But I did see the movie & I really enjoyed it. If nothing else WWI is a bad example of good vs evil because...WWI wasn't that kind of war. The German's weren't evil they were just helping their ally country Austria-Hungary. ut I won't go into details cause this isn't historyclass. And besides, trench warfare wouldn't make for a great FPS anyhow. No platoon warfare is the all-time FAIL. And for those who don't know what I am refeering to it's when you stand in platoon formation (the little box soliders make when they stand in about 4 rows) in front of your enemys who are also in platoon formation. Then both sides aim their rifles at each toher and FIRE! (think revolutionary war) That is just so stupid! I mean hell! That's the very literal meaning on "front lines!" Guerilla warfare is much more intelligent. Don't stand in one place, DUCK BEHIND COVER. & that's also more fun in a FPS. @ Daxel no back then it took around ten minutes to reload. That's why not all squads fired at once. 1st squard fires, then as they reload second squad fires & so forth.

Yeah.... it was considered "polite warfare".
Everyone took turns killing each other.
Revolutionary War = Turn Based Tatical RPG.
