In the not too distant future, I would like to see a U2/INF mod take a step towards the greatest of all online battles...Armageddon. A online war game that uses the U2 engine, with jet, tank, and attack helo models, with modern day nuclear and biological weapons thrown in for good measure (and realism).
For now, I have found this "WORLD WAR INFILTRATION" idea to be one of a certain brilliance indeed. UT Domination style maps could even expand to WD (World Domination) maps. I can see it now, artillery, mortars, airstrikes, could easily come into play. Imagine your platoon advancing toward an enemy held position beyond the next ridge and hear the thundering of a jet above and see the flickering lights of death from multiple INF-EXTREME PREDJUDICE'S MINE-like explosions rained down upon your enemies in the distance. (The current UT engine is past capable of handling a simple wav file of a jet screeching across the sky, a jet does not necessarily have to be seen to see it's devasting after effects, dead enemies (who tried in vain to run for cover) sprawled out all over, littering the land. Just make sure to run when you hear the distinctive sound of the enemies own planes. Talk about adding a new fear element into the game, you will almost develop a sort of online "shell-shock" anytime you hear the roar of jet engines, not to mention the screaming of the bombs as they fall from the sky. Well I guess this post really belongs on it's own in the new version suggestions. I tried.
I will at least submit this non-UT link for only one of inspiration and interest, as it is related to the topic at hand...Online World War.
