I'm a little tired to give you real advice, I'm sorry. But it's a pretty cool, good idea. Ambitious, but good. Now I must plop into bed, pretend to be asleep for 30 minutes, and then get up, and finish some homework.
: I made a modification to my game idea. Also keep in mind that I don't intend
: to create this. This is just a game I might patent for an expert computer
: programmer or some group. Hell, I don't know. There must be someway to at
: least distribute it. Anyway, I suppose you might be annoyed by this by
: now, but ah well, for those who are still interested, give some feedback.
: The feedback that Yossarian gave me I tried to conform to. I made the origin
: of the weapons and changed the title from "Ultimate Homicide" to
: "Ultimate Assassination", like what was suggested.
: Lastly, if you don't like this, just stay away and don't say anything,
: please. If you think its stupid like a couple people did last time, well
: fine, no need to be hasty, just don't post about it. Also no, I don't
: think i'll be porting this to a Marathon 3rd-party scenario, this will be
: a different engine. Actually, maybe it'll be built on the Q3 engine or
: something. I don't know, I haven't even played Q3. I'll try and figure
: something out, though.
: Ok, here goes: Game Title: Ultimate Assassination
: Introduction: This game is basically like Quake or Duke Nukem or Doom,
: basically a simple shooter game, but much better.
: Here's the story: You are Mack Lenn, a highly intelligent, strong and very
: capable marine in the world that has been nearly entirely devastated by
: nuclear war in the year 2455. The war has lasted a long time, and after
: the survival of the nuclear disaster that has now occurred in the world,
: your commanding officer was killed. After having seen him get shot moments
: before the nuclear disaster, you almost took back every criticism of your
: commanding officers' unfamiliarity with some of today's technology. Silly,
: really. But, the situation now just haven't paid you enough time to be
: even a little rebellious.
: You were officially sent by the small and struggling government of the NST,
: abbreviated Nuclear Survival Terrans to be one of the guards for one of
: the villages of earth's survivors, now that a majority of the world has
: been devastated. You are one of the only marines remaining out there,
: though. The NST government has been sending communications across the
: entire world for any signals of other survivors.
: They found one.
: But when the NST sent in a scout to find them, the reports back were
: outrageous. The scout had been killed. Then some strange people used a
: transmitter and managed to communicate with the NST. They seem to be a
: group of degenerates that have formed a large group that are planning to
: become the new earth's government of communism, dictatorship and total
: slavery and torture to any of those who refuse, and if the NST doesn't
: surrender within 3 days, that these people would set off a nuclear weapon
: that they have stashed away. They would be our new, horrible leaders. Plus
: all of the degenerates in the constructed base they built are armed and
: dangerous.
: NST refused to surrender. Wise choice in a way, the entire NST society would
: rather die than serve these goons, and wouldn't you too? But
: nethertheless, the NST would like to at least try to stop the nuclear
: weapon from destroying the entire planet. However awkward it was to send
: in only one marine, since security has now been important and scarce
: (since there are only a few marines left), and you are highly trained,
: intelligent, educated (yes, at that generation, marines had to be so
: capable that they were given a good education), strong and capable, you
: have been sent in solo by the NST to infiltrate the base constructed by
: the degenerates, kill any oppressors, find the nuclear weapon, point it to
: the outer space and launch it, so that it will explode within outer space
: and hopefully not kill any life forms.
: And however cliche' it may seem, the fate of the entire world depends on YOU.
: This is it. This is Ultimate Assassination.
: Description: Ultimate Assassintation is basically a simple shooter game like
: Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein 3D, etc. but despite its similar
: occupation, it is far better. In Ultimate Assassination, you have numerous
: physical capabilities, and there are more tactics to employ when you
: fight. Needless to say, if you simply stay stationary and fire your
: weapon, you are very likely to quit this nearly devastated earth. Ultimate
: Assassination is mostly action, but it isn't mindless action. You have to
: use your brains a lot, every weapon is as good as the other and has their
: own strengths and weaknesses. You may be tired or think it's just a little
: awkward how in games like Quake II, if you have something like the Blaster
: and if someone else has a BFG, no matter what position you're in, you're
: at least most likely to get your rear pummeled. Just stopping power
: matters in games like Quake II. You go up with an early weapon, and then
: you are either killed or forced to surrender or run away because your
: opponent is carrying a rocket launcher or something. In THIS game, in SOME
: situations you are most likely to get your rear pummeled, but in SOME
: situations, no matter what weapon, you may have a stronger advantage.
: Certain weapons correspond to certain situations, and you don't always
: have to do stuff like just deny weapons like the pistol all the time. In
: THIS game, no weapon is better than the other. Like sometimes, when you're
: in a narrow corridor and someone's approaching you, take out the shotgun.
: If you are behind an unsuspecting enemy and you got a good, clear shot,
: take out the pistol and shoot him in the head to make an instant kill,
: etc. Plus, there are often some puzzles you have to get past, basically
: mazes and all, and keys to doors and stuff, and it can become quite hard
: to find your way out sometimes, the degenerates have some decent security
: systems, they are kind of good for a recently scrapped and modified
: shelter for these degenerates. Quite frankly, though with a simple
: purpose, Ultimate Assassination is a thinking person's game.
: In Ultimate Assassination, you can open boxes and take items out of them, but
: you store them in your inventory, so if you ever need to load some ammo
: you collected into a weapon, or heal yourself with any medical supplies
: you collected, or to put some more onto your armor to repair the damage
: etc., you can highlight them in your inventory and use them. Keep in mind
: that using them takes time before they're applied to your
: ammo/health/armor/other.
: You have a maximum of 150% armor, and when you run out, that is not good, as
: you are quite vulnerable. Without armor, if you're hit in the head once
: with anything, you're dead. If you are hit in the torso once with
: something that couldn't kill you with one shot in the torso, your view
: kind of tilts, and when hit in the torso again, you're dead. If you're hit
: in the arms or legs 3 times, then that limb becomes disabled, and
: eventually if it isn't treated, you will die. So it's best to crouch,
: dodge, jump, use the right weapon and basically use and do all that is at
: your disposal, because while your armor can take a very good deal of
: damage before being destroyed, you should really be careful when you don't
: have it.
: You start out the game with full health and armor, your fist fighting and a
: pistol with a decent amount of ammo for it with you. Like I said before,
: every weapon has its own strengths and weaknesses, so if you think
: "Boy, these weapons suck, so I'm going to want to get something like
: a shotgun as soon as possible!", then, well, you are right stopping
: power wise, but in Ultimate Assassination, remember that stopping power
: isn't all that matters, and that sometimes specific weapons work best.
: However, for situations that you'll encounter in the future, you will need
: to get more guns and more ammo. Just a precaution for when you start out.
: In the end, if Ultimate Assassination is ever created, I can guarantee that
: you'll enjoy it if you're into fps and/or strategy.
: Weapons: Fist Fighting: Fist Fighting has been around since the very early
: ages, and while there aren't very much requirements today for
: fist-fighting in wars and stuff, fist-fighting has actually proven useful,
: and you yourself have some considerable skill with hand-to-hand combat.
: In fist fighting, it is simple: You kick, punch and occasionally head-butt
: (don't worry, since you have a helmet on you don't need to worry about
: losing brain cells) your opponents. Who here has played GTA III? The
: fist-fighting is basically like that. If you are up close, you want to
: finish off or weaken an opponent or maybe you just want to preserve ammo,
: if you know what you're doing, fist-fighting is an excellent technique for
: beating down those wretched terrorists. Plus it's fun to watch your hands,
: feet and view camera (head) thrust forward to strike your opponent from a
: first person perspective!
: No secondary fire. When fist fighting, punches, kicks and head-butts are
: thrown randomly.
: There is no limit to how much you fist fight.
: Note: You activate fist fighting by pressing a specific key. Keep in mind
: that you can fist fight while carrying a weapon.
: US .45 Military Pistol: The Pistol is your trusty sidearm, proudly issued by
: the military for many purposes and for many years. The NST has used what
: little remaining technological knowledge and supplies to pick up where the
: military left off in modifying this weapon as well as others, and the
: pistol has remained quite a beloved and useful gun throughout the hard
: war, and will also be useful here. Always referred to as trusty side-arms,
: the US .45 Military Pistol has proven itself so much in its years of
: technological advancement that even those who were the least interested in
: pistols have often come to love and rely on them now.
: The pistol is not a very powerful gun, so usually you wouldn't want to use it
: if you're in heavy combat situations unless maybe you and/or your
: opponents are in a certain position where the pistol may be a good choice.
: However, the pistol makes up for this by being able to kill someone in one
: hit if you aim at the head, unless that opponent is far away, so it's much
: better with head-shots than any other weapon in the game. Plus it's pretty
: accurate and has a decent firing rate and it is highly reliable. Plus, you
: can always use it for when your other weapons run out of ammo, so don't
: disregard it simply because it's a pistol. Your trusty sidearm!
: Primary Fire: Usual firing, slow but accurate.
: Secondary Fire: Assault mode, faster rate but not as accurate.
: The pistol has a clip capacity of 12 bullets before you need to commence
: reload. Reload time is about 3 seconds.
: 'Hardcore' Shotgun: In the past, the shotgun was often-and still
: today-originally used by psychotic thugs, bartenders and sometimes
: policemen. However, after having met new particular combat standards and
: requirements, the 'Hardcore' Shotgun will prove useful. It was commonly a
: good weapon suggested for You weren't issued this, but you have had some
: practice with it before, and you will manage to scavenge this off of some
: of the enemies and some storage rooms in their building.
: The shotgun is a weapon that, while with some choppy accuracy and with bad
: firing rate (hey, at least it's pump-action), makes up for this by packing
: a good punch. If you're in close to medium range or if you are fighting an
: opponent in a narrow corridor, take out the shotgun and blast them away,
: because in those cases the shotgun triumphs over every other weapon. Plus,
: if there are a slew of enemies and you're in the right position, it can
: really make the group of enemies smaller and/or weaker. You wouldn't want
: to rely on it for accuracy or speed. But, thank goodness it's around! It
: packs quite a punch!
: Primary Fire: Simple, fire straight ahead.
: Secondary Fire: Three shells emitted at once, more powerful, but 3x reload
: time.
: The shotgun has, of course, a one shell clip capacity before you need to
: commence the shotguns pump-action reload. Reload time approximately 1
: second.
: US 2455-Model Military Assault Rifle: Since the creation of sub-machine guns,
: these types of weapons were the most commonly used firearm in military
: forces, after having finally broken free of those annoying and obsolete
: muskets. This is issued to every soldier out there, and it is true mostly,
: especially to blood-lust-type terrorists, that those who often use this
: weapon have learned to love its gatling sound, and the overall excellent
: firing rate. You lost your machine gun during the war before the nuclear
: holocaust occurred, but you may also collect this during your mission.
: The machine gun is a gun that is clumsier in some respects than the pistol
: (ammo guzzling and slightly less accurate) and isn't as good as the pistol
: for head shots, but it makes up for this by having a much faster firing
: rate and more substantial clip capacity.
: Primary Fire: Usual, fires straight, fast, pretty accurate.
: No secondary fire.
: The machine gun carries a clip capacity of 80 bullets before you need to
: commence reload. Reload time approximately 3 seconds.
: 2455-Model Demolition Grenades: The miniature, hand-held artillery that were
: also very common for years and years. Still deeply beloved by the military
: and demolitionists, they were issued to soldiers. Grenades have been used
: since around the World Wars, and ever since it has been one of the primary
: pinnacles of demolitionist operations. You used them all during the war,
: but you may also collect them throughout your mission.
: Grenades can be good for clearing out dangerous areas from behind cover, or
: maybe to try and kill people that ARE behind cover, maybe if you're in a
: good position you can go ahead and throw them to simply kill an enemy, but
: Grenades aren't always all that good in those situations.
: Primary Fire: Normal, grenades explode 2-3 seconds after being thrown.
: Secondary Fire: Manual, grenades are thrown and don't explode until you press
: the button to the detonator that you come equipped with at the beginning.
: There is no need to reload grenades.
: That's it. I hope that I can get this game patented so that some game making
: company/ies will attend to making this, or that maybe even I will obtain
: enough computer-programming knowledge to create this game. I hope that the
: AI of the game's enemies will be as advanced as possible: this is just a
: "shoot em' up and find your way out of each level" type game,
: but the graphics, tactics, AI and overall game-play I hope are excellent,
: pretty much far superior to any other simple fps and escape-level game.
: When this game is created (I hope it is created), I certainly hope that
: you will enjoy Ultimate Assassination and will find it very challenging.
