(For the Future) What Will FPS War Look Like?

[Henri]

mostlikely it will be an uss with endlessly spawning targets to kill, a lot like resource sites, conflict zones, nav beacons but the name will be different like pcz - planetary conflict zone.
so what you do is....drop into the instance and kill the endlessly spawning waves to flip something in the background when the tick goes at the end of the month.
it will be just like the other combat stuff ! woah!!!!

I'd like to see a fully fledged stand alone fps that people can buy into outside of elite if they wished.
Would be pretty cool ferrying real player troops into war zones or providing air support.
Infiltration missions behind enemy lines,flying in low and fast taking out targets as requested by real player fps cmds.
The Battlefield franchise is in essence a very simple game concept and yet it produces a very authentic simulation of a immersive war environment.
It's not inconceivable that FD could pull this off.
After all it has been mentioned that there are teams already working on future seasons.

I hope they abandon this FPS 'add-on' game - or at least keep it completely independent (budget wise as well) from ED. It should be an add-on/side-show just like CQC/Arena.

I want a space flight sim, not a FPS. If I want an FPS I'd buy one. I don't want any of my 'subscription' dollars going to that.

Keeping this thread on topic - that is what I want as far as FPS. Crickets and make-believe talk such as this. Keep my ED development dollars working on the flight sim.

If you don't want the FPS, either

1. Don't play it. You have a choice.

2. Don't buy it

It's on their plan to develop it, so it's going to happen.

I think DB covered FPS in his original thoughts on the game. From what I remember, rather than interplanetary wars taking place I think he had more of an idea that you, and perhaps friends would land on planets that support life, explore, and in some cases come across aggressive inhabitants, animals, perhaps some humanoid creatures, and have to battle a bit to save your skin and escape with an undamaged ship.
