Your hopes for the future
What do you want Mantic to release for this game system, i mean this in terms of rules changes updates, new models or factions, or even just new game modes as i know that's partially something i would look to in the distant future.
Getting a feel of the community and what they think of this game and want and like about it with this kind of post. i come primarily as a halo lover of the original bungie trilogy, and also both halo wars, even to an extent i don't mind infinite. But i have also in recent years took up modelling and painting primarily from the fact my dad and uncle used to do warhammer, so i eventually have picked it up too. Still new to it kind of and very bad in some aspects especially when it comes to the modelling part which i was kind of happy to see flashpoint didn't have much of it.
What i want going forward may be not what others want because i come from RTS games and also warhammer games. I'm a huge fan of the big battles of warhammer and RTS games when the armies collide and have small strategic actions to win leading me to hope for someday a bigger game format than the current 200 to 250 points, even if it is never the true focus. And other than that i would love more factions, i am a fan of the banished and their aesthetic but there is nothing as good to me as the aesthetic of the general covenant. I love banished hunters, look a bit scrappy and fitting for what they are, but there is just something so good and iconic about the smooth structures and armours of the covenant races. That and being who i am, zerg player, tyranid player, scrin player, the flood would be an amazing addition to me although i wouldn't even imagine the design difficulty of trying to implement it.
Aside from the actual game part, i want those old covenant style designed models if it could ever happen, a good elite ultra model for me would be so cool or even a councillor model. And the new reinforcements boxes answered something i wanted prior, really wanted to be killing grunts and jackals or even marines depending on what you are playing at the time, just adding a bit more depth and reality to these firefights.
So i'm just asking what kinds of things do you guys want to see from this game whether it is in the near future like hunters or small vehicles which i can imagine. Or in the distant future like larger vehicles and much larger battle or new factions. I would like to hear your opinions.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk i hope you all have a good day.
