Since I am hopefully going to have improved vehicles in game, I was thinking of a way to use them, which would balance out the game between the specimens and the cars and my idea is a new game type:

Daylight Robbery

Very large map, where everyone starts off in the compound, with very, very little ammo and a Nuclear device counting down from 3/4 minutes.

Located around the map are banks, a hospital and at the furthest part of the map is the trader.

You do not earn money for killing specimens!!

You have at you disposal, a truck, a helicopter and a couple of cars.

The idea of the game is, to purchase ammo/weapons, you will need money and to get this, you will have to (as a team) locate a bank and break into the safe (100% welded door), where you can then go on to the trader and buy (limited) ammo/weapons.

The helicopter will only be able to land on either the top of the banks or the trader roof and the compound, so he is your eye in the sky and will protect you as you travel through the destroyed city.
Once you have reached the trader, you can purchase weapons and fend off the specimens so the helicopter pilot can come down and purchase weapons.

You will then need to get back to the compound and reset the clock on the nuclear device, otherwise everyone dies and game over!

If you get hurt during the game, you will have to find the hospital for first aid. (remember the clock is ticking on the bomb)

If anyone starts whilst the game is in play, they will have to wait for the next wave as per usual but the team must get back to compound before the new person starts, otherwise they are going to be alone and in imminent danger, with very little ammo to protect them.

I thought this may add a true Team based element to the game as you will all have to work together to

a: get money
b: get weapons
c: stop the bomb
d: survive

Let me know your thoughts and if anyone is available and capable of helping me code this, please send me a PM. I am not going to rush this and would like to see it become a reality.

And where exactly does the hospital come into play at all?

No offense, but I think it's a horrible idea. "Lets go get money and if we're not back in 3 minutes a nuke will go off, kay?" Ugh...

If you read again, the hospital is there if you get injured, it is the only place to get medical assistance.

As for the bomb idea, the reason for this is because one thing I hate when playing coop/multiplayer games is camping, this will ensure everyone keeps moving and cannot find a spot to stay and just complete the game.
Otherwise, there may as well only be 1 bank and everyone have god mode :rolleyes:

I understand that it may sound a bit challenging for you and may not be to every one's taste but thanks for your input :)

alright. Let's see. Hmm... There's a nuke? Checked. And it's ticking off. There's also a few cars/tanks/hellicopter. So what? What should I do now? Yeah, such a brilliant idea, I'll go rob a bank(!!???). WTF? I mean, where's ur common sense? You're so going to die, and the only thing you can think of, is robbing a bank. For what? Use that money to buy gun from a shady trader. Does guns help you survive the nuke? NO. Frickin' NO. Why dont you just get the hellicopter and GTFO?

Oh, and dont forget, what's the specimen's role? One more reason to just use the vehicle and GTFO. And even in your core phlosophy, it's just pathetic. It's a nuke, man. Wherever you are, it's gonna blow up. And you gonna die. What make the different between camping and running around like a bunch of scout girls?

No offense, but this idea is just plan horrible.

LOL no one seems to have read the point where you reset the timer on the nuke, once reset it starts counting down again, so it means you always have to get back to the compound and cannot stay in one place. it only goes off if you do not get back to the compound and reset it. yeesh how thick are people or is it just plain ignorance?:rolleyes:

man my head is sore from slapping it too much
