TagTeam Pocket Tanks

[The Yateslander]

Hey,
This may seem totally crazy, but has anyone ever considered the possibility of 2v2 pocket tanks?

It poses many fun options..

You and your friend vs. 2 computer players (comp stomp)
You and a comp player vs. 2 other comp players.

It would be a pocket tanks fest. You would still have ten rounds, or maybe a few less because ten weapons each for 4 players might be too long of a game. Then again, restricting the number of volleys or restricting weapons like in Pocket tanks 1.1 could prove interesting.

Also, for those seeking to defy the odds, there could be 1 human vs 2 comp players. It would be hard to beat two computer players when they have twice as many shots as you do.

There would also have to be perhaps a larger terrain area so that its not too close of combat. With the option of 2v2, terrain types could be really interesting like having 2 players behind a wall, like in a castle, while the other two attack from atop a hill, making games attack vs. defense..etc..

Your thoughts?

That'd be cool. And great when online play comes out. Roadkill21619 and I would kill all in our paths! Or, maybe I'll kill everything and Roadkill would just kill me... But it'd still be fun! I just think there should still be only 20 weapons to pick from though, but you share the same stock of weapons.

Me and WIM should make a good tag team...likelyness of this happening? I'm assuming decent. Good idea though, just like schorched tanks in a way. (i've never played ST, but I've seen screen shots)

Actually no one knows how good eachother is at Pocket Tanks, we just go by how good the person says they are. But I think we can infer that everyone here can beat a lvl 10 AI, 9/10 times. I think my personal record is 14 times in a row.

[Black Magic]

Twice the tanks twice the strategy, that is a wonderful idea!

[TurtleTuck]

ive thought of 4 players too.
having the two enamy tanks together would make wepons like
fission bomb and laser batter better and you could have different stratagies
also like spreading you damage. i love the idea!:D

I just hope that Brian reads this . :)

[blue_moon]

This is the best!!!

[Slade]

How would the controls work though?

[Was It Me?]

Seeing as Pocket Tanks is a turn based game, I'd assume that you would take turns with the controls...

[Slade]

Like: red plyr. 1... blue plyr. 1... red plyr. 2....and so on?

[Was It Me?]

Yeah, probably... That seems logical. ;)

[Slade]

That would be cool:) How about the weapon selection before the game starts? 40 weapons?

[blue_moon]

Well, I don't think there'd be room for 4 selections and 40 weapons. I'm going with a shared inventory for both teams

[Slade]

That sounds right:). Normal weapon selections style but a shared inventory. I still think that more weapons would be needed. 10 per player...but how?

[blue_moon]

Maybe 20 per team, but shared. Also, the 40 weapons could only be shown in icons if they ever hoped to fit. That would be difficult for a beginner player to try and pick the exact weapon they want without the names.

[Slade]

Why not 1 on 1 on 1 on 1? Though that's probably what the network/internet thing is all about.
