Guys, it's not SC2. I bet you guys 12 chocolate mooseheads that it ain't.
How can you pay them off when you haven't paid me off yet?
Now it DOUBLES! You owe me TWENTY-FO' chocolate mooseheads!
It would be heresy to make it a pure FPS though. It'd have to be FPS/RTS hybrid.

This one time, at Maradon XP camp:

Wasn't C&C Renegades something like that?

Check out the big brain on dnomagdileD!
Wasn't C&C Renegades something like that?
Renegade was as much a RTS game as Battlefield 1942 is a RTS

dnomagdileD spewed forth this undeniable truth:

He probably means something along the lines of Rainbow 6.
yeah.

Maradon XP stumbled drunkenly to the keyboard and typed:
No, something more along the lines of Black and White if Black and White let you play as one of the villagers and the villagers could get guns.yeah.
Black and White 2! Except its not first person, and they use spears and stuff to stab enemies in war when you fight other gods for villages.
A) Screw that "I only need to kill those three hundred zerg, blow the factory up and then ride broken chunks of concrete down a waterfall while under assault by a squadron of scouts? No problem!"
You land in an area, and out comes you, a lowly marine or firebat or medic or techrat (Engy unit, repairs, re-arms etc.) or a ghost or whatever. And with you, you have an entire platoon of infantry, and vehicle backup
Instead of running around in buildings killing zerglings three at a time through doorways or while strafe jumping on boxes, you instead march with the rest of the troops through the city
You are not all powerful, you must support and backup and rely on the computer allies
And they would have FAR better AI than in Halflife : Opposing Forces "Hey, those guys are violating me with long range weapons, lets run at them like an idiot!"
B) Fighting Retreats
Seriously, they need these in a FPS
You are getting your ass kicked, so the army and you must fall back, fightning off the enemy while trying to make it back to the dropship. Not just "Go from B to A and kill everything in your way"
Nah, enemies come from where you are running from, and ambushes from the buildings and such
So you need to protect the rear and such
C) Vehicles, vehicles VEHICLES!
Sure, you can run around like a grunt with your platoon, but what about hopping in a vulture and zipping around on rooftops tossing fragmentation grenades upon ground units like candy? Or blowing some serious crap up with a siege tank?
D) Base Building
OK, you arrive at outpost... Frank. Whatever. You have, say, an hour till the zerg arrive en masse. You get a certain amount of resources collected before you arrived, and you choose where to place bunkers, turrets, maybe some new form of manned stationary gun (Put a marine in, kick some arse!... damn, that would so rock in a RTS too), invest in new machines, remove marines to pilot them etc.
And then you go out there and fight in those bunkers, unleash fiery hell at 1200 rounds per minute at a mounted gun platform, pop Mutalisks like blood filled water balloons from turrets!
Well, I need sleep now, that is all
quote:
dnomagdileD said this about your mom:
Heh, never played the game. I just heard that it was massivly team based while you controlled only 1 unit. Ergo an FPS/RTS game.
Massively team based?
Well, as in "A bunch of people headed in the same basic direction shooting stuff that moves"
Then, yeah
BF1942 contains FAR, FAR more team based play
Renegades sucked, badly

* The image is becoming clearer
* There are apparently bleeps or blue flashes starting every half hour exactly, and refreshing around the 26 second mark.
* Some bright bugger over on the www.warcraftiii.net forums has decoded the flashes :
[00:33] <Jamers> hey can you teach me how to read the code please
[00:34] <Apoc-Lochen> sure
[00:34] <Apoc-Lochen> its like a crytogram
[00:34] <Apoc-Lochen> as in number = letter
[00:34] <Apoc-Lochen> 01 = a 02 = b
[00:34] <Apoc-Lochen> all the way to 26 = z
[00:35] <Apoc-Lochen> what they did was type in a string "Someone call for an exterminator"
[00:35] <Jamers> so we just look at the seconds?
[00:35] <Apoc-Lochen> and each minute from the start to end displays a blue bleep at the second that corresponds to that letter
[00:35] <Apoc-Lochen> ya
[00:35] <Jamers> i see and its spitting out the smae message again yes?
[00:35] <Apoc-Lochen> over and over
And the phrase?
"Somebody call for an exterminator?"

I think it's fairly safe to assume it's something set in the SC universe...though Bill Roper has said on numerous occassions that Blizzard was not working on SC2 - so perhaps they've decided to skip a sequel and go straight to SC3

Vorago had this to say about John Romero:
Seriously, who announces the expansion to a game that isn't even in a beta stage yet?
Sony.
The Star Wars: Galaxies space expansion was announced before beta. 
quote:They had heroes in Starcraft 1. Some of them even had custom sprites (others just had altered color schemes).
Naimah had this to say about Robocop:
If they do SC2 I hope they don't do the hero bit. It is cool and all that, but I think they have a little too much effect on the game. I mean when one unit kills 20-30 other units that is kinda absurd.
quote:Possible but unlikely. Kerrigan was the figurehead for the SC1 expansion pack, which included hints about what they planned to do with SC2.
Tegadil had this to say about Tron:
Could it be...KERRIGAN!?
See what you can see

Khyron had this to say about Duck Tales:
Guys, load up that page, turn your gamma AS HIGH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN!See what you can see
I fucking told you it was Kerrigan! Didnt I? Yeah!! Cant wait.
I'm just speculating... but that looks like a gun on the left.
Possibly Kerrigan, claws on the back and a gun?
Or possibly a terran ghost... [ 09-19-2002: Message edited by: Khyron ]
The letters will turn blue every minute, and if you record the second it was at and convert tat to the appropiate letter (Like Ferrel posted) you spell a message out
But it is not te same message anymore
I was at class and managed to get the word 'About' and a few more letters before I had to stop due to an assignment, but I think they keep changing the message or something
It won't be SC2! It shall be an FPS!

dnomagdileD had this to say about John Romero:
I could have sword it was a zealot...but then khyron showed a gun.It won't be SC2! It shall be an FPS!
Could be, y'know... Terrans and Protoss formed that alliance in BW... who knows what could have come out of that

Tarquinn thought this was the Ricky Martin Fan Club Forum and wrote:
IT's a marine.
Not a chance, marines are 10x bulkier than that pic.
I'm thinking Terran Ghost, or some new protoss unit that uses a gun
