I kind of randomly came across this picture on a google image search, and while I'm not sure exactly what the deal is with it, I do know that it's a realistic drawing of a Zeon soldier from the original Mobile Suit Gundam. The art style reminded me of Star Wars: Battlefront 2, and it got me thinking: why is there no Battlefield clone with a Gundam theme? Think about it, infantry and mobile suits in the same game. The original series had all kinds of vehicles for delivering regular infantry, it had tanks, it had fighters, it had mobile suits, it's basically tailor made for a Battlefield clone. Imagine running toward a control point with 32 other players, some of which are backing you up in mobile suits, and the other side doing the same thing. Anti tank players launching rockets at mobile suits, anti-infantry units fighting other infantry units and taking control points, it would be awesome.
Unfortunately, nothing of the sort has ever been made. There was a mod being planned for Battlefield 1942, but it never even made it to the first public release. And I can't help but ask myself "why?" Because it would truly be awesome.
For discussion value, do you have any game ideas like this, ideas that should be obvious but for some reason aren't being made? Also, what do you think of mine?
Edit: Those of you unfamiliar with the series may notice it looks a lot like a Nazi uniform. That's because the series was based loosely on World War II, and the Zeons were the bad guys.
