Game ideas for a carnegie mellon assignment?

[Na Klar Nick]

Hello all. I am currently at Carnegie Mellon studying over the summer in their High School Game Academy Program. I've been put in charge of the major final project where my team has to design a Local Network 3rd Person Shooter with Mechs. So far, we've designed a CTF map and we're hopefully going to get a working alpha done by Monday. Once that happens, we'll begin adding and implementing other ideas and features into the game (destructible cover, ammo drops, etc).

We are very short pressed on time and we'd like to think of most of the ideas ourselves, but if anyone has any ideas and would like to share, they are well appreciated!

Thank you,
Na Klar Nick

Fun fact: Both Allison and James graduated from the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon. We watch their videos every other day

Hey Nick,
How little time do you have? I think the idea of destructible cover is a little ambitious, but it would be a cool idea. Other than that, I think maybe a few weapon types would be a fun addition. It might be difficult but possible. Hope this helps!

We have to get this game done by Friday, and since our game is class based, we wanted each class to have a unique weapon to it, but that might take some time we don't have.
