I'm not interested.

I'll rather play CS:S. Or BF:BC2. Or any CoD game, MoH, BF2142, TF2, Crysis, Quake Live, UT04... or any other competitive online FPS there has been made in the recent years, which you are just copying parts of, mindlessly like a burglar throwing silverware and DVD's in his bag.

I can't see a reason why anyone would choose to try this rip-off exhibition, when he/she can pick up any of the dozens good FPS's this game would try to copy.

For the sake of your own efforts and time. Choose and plan carefully what you're about to do. As this right here sounds like a waste of time and effort, if you actually want that another player outside of your workgroup would pick it up.

Focus on making something original. That's not original at all, no matter how many times you try to insist that.
Well why would you buy any FPS game then? They all go by the basic design principal, so they all copy eachother. Originiallity is a good thing, but the lots of the games you named were not original.

It sounds all well and good, apart from a few things.
Holdout sounds like it will be VERY annoying, seems though some guy could just shoot a nicely timed rocket that kills all of the other team if he wanted, you should take away the infinite lives thing, that way its more fair, if you want to make it unfair but more do-able then make the team thats holding out have fewer members.

You might also be missing a few key things here as well, unless you just didn't mention them, what's the core of the game? What's it's unique selling point?

The concept sounds gold but you need to add something extra or take away something.

I like the idea of coming up with new names for the game types, i can't tell you how much seeing "Team Deathmatch" annoys me.

The amount of maps is good as well but it wouldn't hurt to add a few more, variation is great after all and another question, whats the point on having 3 different weapon classes if when it comes to choosing which one to pick everyone will just choose Enfondo because it looks the best, you might need to level it all out a bit better by maybe giving each class a singular weapon type, example Militia gets SMG's and snipers plus pistol secondary, Socialist has shotguns and launchers plus pistol and Enfondo gets LMG's and assault rifles, it just feels more leveled that way.
Well, the enfondo weaponry costs a lot. They look cool, if you like a "White knight" aspect, the socialist weapons give off an evil effect, pitch black, red lighting. Militia weapons are cheap and reliable, and enfondo and socialist weapons are expensive, but great.

Armor permintations is original. You get to choose how you like to play, or adapt to the current situation.

Sounds awesome, but you should make sure that you can't purchase the airstrike at the start of the game, othervise everyone is going to spawn-kill eachother.

And the whole weapon tier thingy, you should just make it more lika that first you choose from Ar, SMG, Shotgun etc. Then you choose between Militia, Socialist and Enfondo types of weapons, just to make it easier to find what you want. Othervise i'm exited for this.

Also, Pro tip: People like betas :)

The guns are set up like that.

Players can't call in airstrikes until about 2 minuites into a game. And plus, most the time, you won't have enough to buy one at the begining.

The game is not like counterstrike, besides buying weapons. It is not really like COD either. It takes a few aspects from games like MW2, Crysis, and Counter Strike, but it is all in all pretty original.
Really?Because I didn't see anything in here that hasn't been done before a million times ... well I guess I'm just not an FPS fan but to me this hardly seems like an original idea :/ Good luck, anyway.

Few FPS games are that original. I don't expect to make a game of the year title, just to get my name known. This isn't one of my best expanding ideas, but I have to start somewhere, you know?

You're writing a book? Dude, get a very good editor as you've made a fair few spelling mistakes in your OP....annnnnd profile.

Also, the game sounds like it'd be fun to play, but I can't help but feel that I've played it somewhere else. Sounds kinda like CS with respawns as you've heard. With your defusing-da-bomb gametype doesn't giving respawns kinda destroy the point? Can't people just keep throwing themselves at the other team until the bombasplodes?

I type beter when I am writing the book, I don't take the time to spell/grammer check on the internet, but yeah an editor is still requiered. XD

You do get respawns with defuse the bomb.

Well... hmmm... it all seems alot like CS with re-spawning, that may be down to how you described it so some extra details on those game modes wouldn't hurt.

You also said it would focus on tactics and teamwork, how will this be encouraged/enforced? Because people will run off on their own unless you give them a reason not to, that's why on all team based CoD matches people don't give two shits about the team effort and just go on a killing spree.

I like the idea of earning attachmets/upgrades, and you should immediately show what people earned during gameplay, so they can just pop-up a menu and select one from a short list of available items.

And I'd love to try out an alpha/beta, give you some pointers as you go along.

The game is filled with tactical possisions, so run off alone, and you are likely to get your head blown off by a witty sniper. tag along with a teamate, and the write armor enhancements, you can find where that sniper is camping. You can go off alone in deathmatch, or choose to be a teamplayer. But other game modes, teamwork is key.

I plan to make an alpha testing, so I'll give you shout when I get further along. But it will only have 1 map. I will make a Beta, but that is a bit too far from now to know whats going to go down with that.

Well....At least you're actually making a game. It's more than can be said for the likes of me. Well, I hope you enjoy making it, that's what should really matter. At least you seem to have gotten the good aspects down to make a perfectly decent game. I mean, on paper uncharted 2 sounds like the biggest piece of crap ever, but in practise, it's amazing. Best of luck.

One thing about the demolition mode, what will happen if the other team defuses it? will the game just end? also, i am pretty sure it would end up in a cluster-fuck of frags endlessly showering the bomb site, rendering any attempt at defusing the bomb meaningless.

But im not going to completely harp on you, i like where you are going, so heres a bit of constructive criticism. I like the idea behind the stalker mode, what i think you should focus more on is having COMPLETELY unique game modes, instead of having the same old team-deathmatch/demolition shtick. As the gameplay is really, really like CS sprinkled with Crysis Online power-ups, i think having unique-only game modes would be the hook which would bring something worthwhile to the table, as really, why would people play your game if they already have CS and Crysis Online?.

So my advice would be to focus on developing the stalker mode and brainstorm a few new ideas for game modes. Just keep going at it and you will hit that stride.

Yeah, it's not exactly easy to put a game on paper. It is infact a game, after all. And the fact that I made the game so diffirent from the book, it is hard to write down.

Stalker and Holdout are two of the most original ideas I have had for this game. It does differ from crysis and CS, but I get where your going.

Sound's pretty cool.

But another FPS? Gimme a break. I think the market has become overrun by FPSes! XD Good luck man.

Sound's like an interesting project. With the armour enhancement's and all. It basically sound's like FO3 Except multiplayer and GOOD.

PS: Why are you bitching about it being unnoriginal. C.o.D Was a rip-off of Medal of Honour, who gave a shit about that? Halo was a rip-off of HL, how now, is some ramdom guy just making a game a big deal? Seriously, stop being so schizofrenic about who you wanna complain about!
Yeah, I know FPS games are getting pretty old. ITS ALL CALL OF DUTIES FAULT! DO WE REALLY NEED ONE EVERY YEAR???
