Factions and Campaigns, could there be more?

[Hammerfan]

In a topic made long ago, I asked Winterwalker about more campaigns.
He said that they made the game in a way that it would be easy to add more should they do it, and that they would do it if enough people wanted it (if I recall correctly).

Now that we have a bigger playerbase, it time to ask them a question.

How do you feel about Playbrains making another campaign?

Keep in mind that if Plabrains decides to do it, we will stop getting Skins and maps for a while (this skin season is already do BTW).


Also, how would you feel if the MERCS (the third faction) were made into a Playable Faction. What if they were the Stars of the new campaign?
We could have Maps that are BDI vs Scorched, maps that are BDI vs Mercs and maps that are Scorched vs Mercs.


So...VOTE!

New Campaign?:
Yes-10
No-4


Mercs Playable?:
Yes-8
No-5

[bloocheese565]

Yes for both of them.

[shadowcat270]

New campaign
Oh yes!

Mercs Playable
Not really... they are not that interesting really just a bunch of guys in funny colors and they use BDI and scorched weapons anyway

It's very easy to demand they create a third faction and make an extra campaign just for it but in reality it's a bad idea.

Firstly it would almost certainly have to be pay for DLC and quite a high price compared to the skin packs. New characters, weapons, skins, voices .etc have to be paid for by somebody.

Secondly how would they balance this in multiplayer? They'd be giving people who paid for it an advantage over others who didn't want to buy it / couldn't buy it.

I'm sorry but it's just not a good idea, again forcing your will or even trying to make a company do what you want is dumb.

Playbrains might be one of the more friendly, less corporate devs around but they have to make money and they have to make their own decisions.

No mercs. No campaign.

Never again. 10 HOURS OF HELL GRINDING THROUGH BOTH SIDES IN ONE DAY JUST FOR OFFICER

HNNNNNNNNNGH

I don't think it's a good idea- I personally am fine with two campaigns. The mercs don't bring anything too new to the table- they use BDI and Scorched, and don't really fit in a campaign sense aside from the fact that they're cannon fodder. Playable, as a skin would be sweet, but there's no need to create a third dedicated group.

Now, as for seeing the Mercs in a survival mode as the enemy instead of the Chompiis, this I can agree with...

[Walrussel]

I don't see the problem............... get over it.


Yes for new campaign.........

Yes for new faction, but only if Playbrains has the time, it would make the game a whole lot more interesting. But probably something more interesting than mercs.

[WaRRioRTF]

Yes for campaign, No for Mercs
As campaign is a good idea as playing same campaign over and over is getting tiring, mercs don't seem that good of characters, At worst i'd see them as default classes with just slightly more HP, and maybe revival of teammates for special also with faster respawn, as you know. They're expendable.

Actually, for XBOX it might be a DLC, but i think for PC it wouldn't be.
As i see you are new and well, As i'm a veteran player i can say : striker + Slicer,Survival,Community missions to get new levels weren't there from the game's start, they came as an update to the game and a DLC to Xbox players. See what i meant with my first statement? Not all developers want the community to pay for every single update that isn't bug fixes.

Let me say a few things here:

First, im not demanding anything, this is a community vote.

Two, I dont mind if it ends up being paid DLC, as long as it has a reasonable price.

Three, Buyahat...thats what the Anarchy and Deserter packs were made for.

Four, Zetashade, It only ONE campaign, not two.


Now, when I talked about making Mercs a faction, I wasnt talking about playing as the "cannon fodder", I was talking the BIG guys of the Merc faction, with their own looks and personalities.
Heck, if Boba (ex-merc) can be unique, why can we make more? And its not like we cant Make up new specials.

Both BDI and Scorched also have "cannon fodder", but we dont play as it, so why should that happen with Mercs?

They way I see it, we could have a campaign that pits us against BDI and Scorched, making us fight THEIR "Cannon Fodder".

That way, i accept Mercs as the third faction.
Also i imagine the new gamemode being
All 3 teams, 1 player on each team is selected as legends and the rest as officers. Legends get 45 NPC's under his command and the officers get 25 NPC's, they obviously respawn at spawn and try to reunite with they'r officer/legend. The main objective is to wipe out all enemy officers and legends to have your team as the last one standing.

[gf1024]

No to both. I'm still with alternate abilities.

[Hammerfan]

I'm still with alternate abilities.

What?

[gf1024]

What?

A while ago I proposed that instead of new characters, the current ones should have alternative abilities, and you could choose which to use just like the loadouts in tf2.

Oh I remember that. But please state why you wouldnt want another campaign.

And I would like it if you would give a reason for No Merc faction other than the possibility of alt abilities.

[Froh]

Mercs Playables = 3 teams = New Games Modes with 3 teams = Hell yeah !§§!!!!

New Campaign = Why not, so it's a yes.

In fact, More Content = More fun.

[Shakur]

YES + YES = HELL YEAH! :D

A vote on what exactly? You don't vote on something you have zero control over.

As i see you are new and well, As i'm a veteran player i can say : striker + Slicer,Survival,Community missions to get new levels weren't there from the game's start, they came as an update to the game and a DLC to Xbox players. See what i meant with my first statement? Not all developers want the community to pay for every single update that isn't bug fixes.
PROTIP: I've had this game since September, forum accounts are in no way linked to steam so try not assuming things.

Also there is a difference between infrequent content updates like the two weapons, the extra gamemode, a few maps .etc and a whole new faction with it's own weapons, characters and story mode.

Not all developers want the community to pay for every single update but then again not all developers can afford to dedicate a massive amount of time and resources on a whim and give it away.

Playbrains isn't some big name developer with enough time and money to make fluffy bunnies launchers and magic cabbages every time somebody asks for it and just absorb the cost of it.

[WaRRioRTF]

Sorry for mistake then.
And i know Playbrains isn't a big name developer. And we dont want it to be made in 5 seconds so we would see it the very next day.

[ice_breaker]

Yes for 2.

[Hammerfan]

MAGMOR BUMP!

[BigEV]

Erm yes.

[Sonic4Ever]

In my opinion, I think a new campaign based on a "Team Scorched vs. Team BDI" story would be incredibly awesome. I like rivalries.
