<div class="IPBDescription">Starcraft + NS + BF1942 + Unreal Warfare</div> OK people, get your idealism hats on.

Starcraft's world, using the Unreal Warfare engine (UT2003, Splinter Cell, America's Army), with NS' commander mode controlling real people and a Battlefield 1942-style overall open-spaceness. With all the damage and armour/hp stats from Starcraft so previous starcraft players can port over their strategies. Think C&C Renegade without the crapness.

Now would that rock or would that rock.

Imagine being in control of a Protoss Carrier and telling your automated interceptors what to attack.

Imagine being a Zergling running though a nydus canal.

Imagine being a Marine in a bunker firing out a advancing hordes of Hydralisks.

Imagine being in a Scout doing strafing runs on a Hatchery.

Imagine walking though a crystal field, or peering down a vespene geyser.

Imagine being in a deployed Siege Tank, shelling the hell out of a Zerg infestation.

Imagine being a cloaked Ghost, calling in a nuclear strike.

Imagine being a Dark Templar and slaughtering marine patrols whilst being cloaked.

Imagine being on a Battlecruiser, surveying the battle from on high.

Imagine trudging though fields of creep.

Imagine being inside a Goliath shooting down Mutalisks.

Imagine being slaughtered by a Ultralisk that got past your defences.

Imagine....

    sounds great man... personally i didnt like starcraft because it wasnt about skill so much as about how fast you can click you mouse. (why did everybody insist on playing in the fastest mode???)

    Imagine a world where online gaming is treated exactly like sporting events such as football and soccer, where broadband is available for all and people get paid for gaming...

    Why does now have to suck so much? <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    That would be very cool, but I don't they will allow it. When it all comes down to it, the companies just want money. And they continueously argue over the shares in the game.

    I would skip on BF1942's open space. I much prefer the tight areas of Natural Selection.

    it would be nice to have a terran marine game... tomb-raider or oni view style (3rd person). the reason? the little flashlight on the shoulder of the marine suit is just... SO cool.

    You know what I just thought of? A Starcraft MMORPG. You could fight as a warrior from all 3 of the races on all 3 fronts (ground/water, air, and space), and choose different professions based on your playing style (combat grunt, military scientist, inter-planetary smuggler, commander, owner of mineral mining company, etc...). The game would be focused half and half on military and economics, so you could play the game without firing a single bullet if you choose. Commanders gain ranks and eventually get control of larger units (from small scouting parties to huge army operations). There is a constant war between powers, and you can defeat enemy nations in several ways, either through military supremacy, taking out their resources/bases, or even espionage. Every action you do affects your nation in some way, which is comprised of 1000's of other people. The battles would be huge, as entire planets get taken over in the interplanetary struggle. And then there's the combat, and the tactics, and the....

    You'll need a bloody good lawyer too, Blizzard's got a mighty firm grip on the StarCraft franchise.

    Yup, why not just ask the LAST StarCraft HL mod that was foxed...

    and now I shall laugh at the "I've got a mod all i need is modellers and skinners and coders and mappers" aspect.
