Before reading these, keep in mind that I have no idea how the game is programmed. I don't even know what computer language it's in.
Weapon Concepts
Squirt Gun - A high-accuracy stream of "water" (think Hail Storm)
Dome Destroy - Like a bouncy version of Dome Protect, but as a projectile. It would create about as much bouncy dirt as D.P. does regular dirt, but it would override the existing terrain around it the same way Shadow Blast does. (Is that possible with bouncy dirt?) Imagine the possibilities if they only have a Fission Bomb left... *evil grin*
Shuffle - Takes all dirt/tanks within Large blast radius (Big Shot) and randomly relocates them.
Other Ideas
This has been said before, but mines would be cool. Another interesting idea would be to have gas cans (like the Worms series) that detonate into Napalm if hit hard enough, but will give an extra Move point to any tank that drives over and collects it.
Multiplayer. Not just the standard 2-player and not necessarily online play (though that would be great), but a mode like in the original Scorched Earth on which more than 2 tanks duke it out. Some weapons, like Solar Flare, are already well suited to it.
And speaking of Scorched Earth, it would be interesting to have an option to choose between the classic point-based mode and a "last man standing" mode like Scorched Earth had.
That's all I can think of for now, but I'll edit if I remember any of the others.
