Just thought up an awesome (hopefully) new game idea. What if... There was a game which could have one or a team of commanders to lead a base of units like you would do in a standard RTS but when you spawn a unit, a queue of people waiting in the game would get to control that unit. I think that this would make for interesting gameplay and a completely new idea (tell me if i am wrong!)
Obviously for this to work, the units and weapons would have to be extremely balanced and you could still play if there was a complete dumbass controlling your team.
Personally being a fan of both genres, I thought that this would bring fans of both genres together and have a kick-ass game to play on.
So, Facepunch... What do you think? :smile:
Would be cool. I'd like to play something like that.
I can see that working
Make it take place in the future and I approve.
Something like a master commander who plays like a normal RTS, but when he places units people waiting to play are spawned and told by the commander via HUD elements on what to do, who to eliminate, etc?
I like this idea even if it's been said a thousand times and it's something I'd buy.
Yup, thats pretty much it
And my favorite class is the Siren
There are a few RTS and FPS hybrid games out there. I recommend checking out the Empires mod for Source, Natural Selection 1 (a mod for Half-Life 1), and Natural Selection 2 (a standalone sequel to the first)

This game has the dawn of war/starcraft style RTS, with the fps of players being the units involved.
I have only played the original, so I am not fully sure what this game is like. But, it sounds like it matches your idea.
i think command and conquer tried it once, oh wait yes the FPS base building one, forget the name
Well, that isn't a bad idea at all, but I think you could find people who would disobey your orders, fuck everything up both as a soldier or the commander. But yeah, with the right people... Very awesome game.
i saw this idea in pc gamer as a real game i forgot what it was though
had shamans and shit in it

Renegade, didn't have base building or RTS.
Kill zone 2
Natural Selection 2 is basically going to be this
It's fucking fun too (going by the original)

I was just about to mention this, yeah one commander, builds a base, gets you upgrades/weapons classes, Savage 2 is pretty good, 5-6 players have to secure gold mines and other areas for the commander to build at.
Look up Empires mod for Half life 2. Its basicaly the commander places buildings in an RTS view while all the other players are in a FPS point of view.

command and conquer: renegade
i loved that game so much, but i lost my key
the singleplay was eh but the multiplayer was fucking amazing
TF2 was supposed to be like that, but its too easy for the commander to troll so they decided against it.
Iron Grip: Warlord fits that description but it leans more on the FPS side.

Savage is basically the OPs post.
The people controlling the players probably wouldn't listen to the orders though, and just try to kill as many people as they can.
I've heard of this idea before, don't know what happened to it though...
Would be pretty cool, but kind of messy at the same time.

Unless they are rewarded properly and they are in Savage.
Battlefield 2142 when you play commander and every squad leader+squad members follows orders. If you stay at the far back base/on the titan and have the map up the whole time it feels like a RTS.

Eh kinda....
Main difference is that its third person shooting but for anyone looking for this type of game I recommend it(even though most people here probably don't own a Wii)
One of my favorite Wii games which is saying a lot considering the options for good games on Wii
Arma
