Community Question: What do YOU want to ask the community?

(badman) #1

We’ve had a whole bunch of community questions in the past few weeks and months covering a variety of subjects we’re interested in. We thought it would be interesting to open the floor up to all of you to suggest questions you’ve always wanted to ask your fellow community members. So, let’s do just that!

Post your suggestions for future community questions in this thread. All we’re asking is that youk keep your suggestions related to either Splash Damage, WarChest, Fireteam, or one of the games we’ve made/are making.

Go go go!

(On a serious note)

Do you prefer a more complex XP/unlock/progression/weapon system (e.g. Brink) or a more simplistic class based shooter (e.g. RtCW)?

Do you prefer larger maps with multiple objective and lengthy rounds or smaller maps with shorter rounds and only a couple of objectives?

  1. Which team are you going to play most on our upcoming 2012 rerelease of W:ET? Axis or Alies?

Anyway, just keep questions general so the discussion can flow in the direction people want. The suggestions in the anouncement thread were already interesting.

Aye map size/objective count question would be good.

Character development length (match, campaign, permanent unlocks)

(Ashog) #6

permanent unlocks (practically every game nowadays) or campaign-limited (ET, ETQW)

Some presentation/aesthetic questions

[ul]
[li]Gibs or no Gibs? Should the game be blood free for a lower age rating. Do gibs turn you off, on or neither when playing a game.
[/li][li]Ragdoll or Animated deaths? Single fixed death animation, multiple fixed animations based on in game factors (direction of travel, bullet location) or ragdoll deaths with some animation keying.
[/li][li]Interactive or Static Environments? Should the world and people in the world be interactive. ie can you smash windows, chairs, objects, do helmets pop off.
[/li][li]Customisation, to what degree should players be allow to customise with their own content. ie. Install their own hitsounds, upload their own insignias, sprays etc.
[/li][/ul]

Social

[ul]
[li]Killcam? Is a valuable option. Does the feature aid in learning where you went wrong and seeing techniques of others. Can it help alleviate to some degree people calling cheat.
[/li][li]Demo recording, video & publishing tools. Necessary? Should the game come with tools that make the creation and publishing of pictures/videos (including expansive demo recording).
[/li][li]With a view that a future game will be reliant on the Fireteam network for matchmaking, communication. Should there be other means in game to invite or alert others to a game when they are not logged into the website but may be online. ie. could you email, im a link to your active game or lobby.
[/li][li]Is the lack of Steam integration a good or bad thing?
[/li][/ul]

Technical

[ul]
[li]SDK, when should this be made available to the community?
[/li][li]Graphical/Console tweaks. Should tweaks be limited/blocked totally, limited and in menus only, expansive options through advanced menus only or left in the console for those who want them?
[/li][li]Mods and Maps. Should these be downloaded and installed outside of the game, seamlessly within the game on joining a server. Should Mods and Maps be held in a central location like Steam Workshop with a rating system and ability to vet content or left to be managed by the users?
[/li][/ul]
