Are you looking for creativity in terms of characters, plot, setting, set pieces or mechanics?

My Idea:

Okay so there's these bad guys right, and there all bad for no particular reason. So you run around shooting them and stuff, and you can choose new and different ways of shooting them (like from under a blanket, or while cross-country skiing). I expect you to move at least 30 million units and I expect a cut...

Lmao shot from under a blanket lol Well as crazy as your idea is, im sure it might spark a idea for me soon lol The idea of a new way to kill is a nice idea.

Edit:

Bit of a off the wall idea from no where. Kill the newb poster. Basicly a game were a bunch of random people say newb phases in game and u kill them. Sorry writters block sure u guys got better ideas lol

On a slightly more serious note, maybe you can give the player the option to tackle each mission differently, like for mission X they can go in quiet (think a chopped down Splinter cell) or to go in guns blazing (CoD or Rainbow Six: Vegas). Quite a few game have attempted this kind of thing in the past but it could add a lot of replayability...

I hope you could get the backing of a major studio for something on this scale...

Might do well for a flash game, especially if you keep a satirical/comedic atmosphere, and if you throw in a half-assed story...

You play a character with anterograde amnesia. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterograde_amnesia] Before your condition set in you were a member of a private security force hired out to guard some wealthy CEO type guy. Poop hit the metaphorical spinning device and your entire team was wiped out leaving you in a coma for two years until you woke up with your condition.

What follows is your character's quest for revenge, trying to deal with never knowing people for more than a few minutes at a time and never being able to truly trust anyone.

You should try to make a futuristic shooter where at first you can only fight and you have to gradually build up guns and stats. Stages with flying car chases (you're a cop BTW) and you have to take down gangs pieces at a time.

My idea, and I htink most people would agree with me, is that you should set it in some cool location. I'm sick of fighting in a corridor in an office complex, or a wartorn landscape. Played through the XBLA serious sam titles recently and they know what theyre doing. Ancient temples and egyptian pyramids! THAT'S fun level design.

Well, it's pretty. Colourful. I don't know what the gameplay is like, but I get the impression that it's pretty linear - since there's no detail on those background hills.

If you are looking for a FPS idea I had one before, kind of forgetten about it though.

Now I know that there is a lot of focus on zombies now. It's sort of similar except the zombies are all gamers, gamers that have been playing for too long and are now basicly mindless zombies. Going for a steryo typical as possible here. Even get some WoW players in their near dead state and just throw them in on mass.

The idea sounded a lot better when I cam up with it. That's all I could remember.

Bots overbalance teams. That is, if one side has significantly more players, enough bots are added that are tough enough to make their side start winning, so the team switchers switch back.

I've seen games where this was possible, but none where it was the default.
