11 Very cool ideas

[Zone101]

1st Idea
A game mode where there are walls in the arena. This means weapons won't go outside the arena and will instead.. blow up on the wall.. or possibly bounce away.

2nd Idea
Search mode for Target Practice. I think we all have trouble finding weapons in Target Practice.. so having a search feature where you type in the name of the weapon would be alot easier!

3rd Idea
2 player games are fun! But what if you have more than one friend over? I think there should be a 3 player and 4 player mode. And possibly an online mode.. if possible.

4th Idea
If my previous idea was done.. you should make tanks look more interesting instead of just being different colours.

5th Idea
Time Limit option in Options. I wouldn't use it.. but it would be useful. Then when you run out of time.. the person with the most points wins.

6th Idea
Combo Mode. A mode where you use 2 weapons.. and then it's your opponents turn. This would be great to rack up points.. by using all those great combos.



Weapon Ideas

Self Destruct
Your tank self destructs.. minusing 10 points of itself.. but if it hits a nearby opponent it could get up to 100 points back. Depending how close the opponent is to you.

Lasergun
Like Laser.. but shoots 5 of them. 20 points per Laser.

Machine Gun
A typical tank machine gun. Fires 50 bullets, 2 points per bullet. Max points: 100

Rise
If you're stuck in dirt.. this will make you rise up through the dirt until you reach the surface.

Assist
Assist gives you an assistant tank armed with basic shots. He will help you for that one round.. but in that one round can fire up to 3 basic shots if you're lucky. Generally 2 is how much he would fire.. but if you're unlucky it could only be 1!

im not trying to put ya down but i made machine gun 2 :)

[Zone101]

That's not suprising.. Machine Gun is extremely common in shooting games.
What do you think of my other ideas?

[Was It Me?]

A few have been mentioned before, but I like them all, except for the 5th idea... the time limit one. I think that it might cause problems, unless I am mistaking you. People could run the time out if they were ahead. What you COULD do (and might be what you meant ;)) is each player have their own clock, like a timed chess game. If a player runs out of time, the other player wins. Or, you could make it where there is a "shot clock" type of thing, where each player has something like 20 seconds per turn and if they run out of "shot clock" time, they loose that turn.

Just some additional ideas. :)

i think there great dude keep um coming :)

[Zwaken]

Nice job and there aren't too many repeats.

[Zone101]

Yeah that's what I meant with the clock thing. I doubt any of my ideas will actually be used though lol

This would be very usefull in online games, to prevent stalling...

[Was It Me?]

Exactly...

[Zone101]

Yeah, any comments on my other ideas?

I think there should be a weapon where it rebuilds the terrain.. cause it gets annoying sometimes when it's all blown up and you're stuck on the ground lol.

[zetablack]

well i made a weapon called leveling ground it makes the whole level revert to a flat zone level

[Zone101]

Wow how'd you do that? How long did it take to make? Was it difficult?

[Was It Me?]

I think that he means that he suggested it...

[Zone101]

Oh right lol.. that'd be cool if you could make your own though

[zetablack]

no its really in the game i made it by modding the code.....maybe.....JK no i can't mod for my life.

[Yiuo]

An idea I thought of is that if there was a "refresh" feature. In a normal game, if you dont like the weapon shop selection, click "refresh" and it would clear the shop and show another set of 20 random weapons:D

I also like the idea of more color choices for tanks, and again, more tank styles would be pretty cool.

[Zone101]

That refresh thing is cool. What do you think of my 11 ideas?

Z101, your ideas are cool, but they are huge, more likely to come out in a Pocket Tanks 2.
My ideas:
1.) An entirely pumped-up, game-skewer version of pothole (should that be capitalized?) that bounces off bouncy dirt and does 20 damage a shot.

2.) A warthog launch-esque version of jump jet that piles your weapons under the tank and launches it, causing you point loss, but regenerates your points twofold if your tank lands on him.

3.) Digger Laser: a laser that can go through the ground to hit your opponent.

These weapon ideas are entirely unrealistic and possibly best posted in "create your own weapon" but my "brain fart" probably wouldn't have preserved itself to another thread.

*CURSE MY SPONTANEOUS INTELLECT!!!!*

What do you mean by "game-skewer"? A more powerful pot-holes?

This one I really don't understand... Piling your weapons under your tank? What?:confused:

3.) Digger Laser: a laser that can go through the ground to hit your opponent.
lol, there's already a weapon like this - it's called Super Laser.:rolleyes:

In this instance "Brain Fart" Was Used to indicate a sudden, unexppected Idea. It Is A truley excelent term.

I think the warthog launch is refering to the Warthog off of halo and throwing grenades under it, or the flash game Warthog Lauch where you blow your warthog up to destroy the floating flood.

Or it could be so when the clock runs out, the weapon fires automatically, no matter how it is aimed or what the weapon is.:)
