Cool Gadgets

[Felix12g]

Think up some strange and kickass 1 time use gadgets. Anything from electronic x-rays to claymores to antigrav belts.

[nubs]

Any of the combat engineering stuff from palnetside would be cool... mines, remote explosives, motion sensors and auto turrets.

Possibly the quake CTF style boosters, increased damage, health regeneration and improved armour that kind of thing.

For vehicles... speed/power boosters, not sure how it would work but bridgelayers and smoke launchers.

Different types of hand grenades.. EMP, Plasma, Incediary, Smoke, Flashbangs as well as the standard Frags.

Maybe something like the planetside comand tool stuff, EMPs, Orbital Strikes, revealing locations of enemies and friendlies.


Could possibly use remote drones either for intelligence gathering or just remote controlled suicide explosives etc.


Theres tons you could add, gadgets do tend to add the most amusement value to games though

laser targeting system to aid airborne vehicles to target enemies...this would require some teamwork though.

an auditory grenade-rocket that distrupts enemies ability to hear giving snipers the chance to take shots without being heard and potentially spotted

Not sure about having it a one time use gadget but i think a grapling hook would be the coolest thing ever. Have any of you ever played the game worm? They have this ninja rope and its the shit. if they could only get something like that into Huxley it would be so cool i would piss myself.

Link to Worms World Pary website. I think there is a demo somewhere so if you've never played this get it.

I was thinking more along the lines of remote controlled recce drones and sonic imagers to find sunken zerg colonies. But good ideas.

they had something like that in The Outfit where you'd press Y then a directional pad button and then a plane would fly by and drop a vehicle or turret where you specified by using smoke bombs

[indy900]

something that u can controll monsters with

[KopMcginty]

Give me remote detonaters any day, there is no weapon in Planetside to make me chuckle quite like a boomer.

No the best one time use wepone is your own slave with a bomb straped 2 his chest mabey a warhead and you cna make him run into the enemy lines and then all you have 2 do is push a button and it does the same damae a plan would do but withought a plane

[Savag3Shadow]

I like the idea of the laser targeting system, maybe they could have a C4 type of thing you could put on enemy vehicles, or maybe you could lay mines or something.

I think the best gadget would be this though:
A person designated the "leader" would be able to see an overhead view of the battle in real time, with markers designating friendlies as well as identified hostiles, he could select a group of friendlies and tell them to either move to a certain point on the battlefield, or tell them to set up a particular fire sector. The reason I say this is that without some kind of organization for 120 vs 120 battles, it would be just about pointless to try any kind of teamwork.

The system I propose is similar to that of Full Spectrum Warriors if any of you have played that. (if you have not, get it for Xbox, its a great game)
It's kind of a mix between that and the commander mode on BF2 for PC.

Here's a little blurb they posted.

Commodities include single-use articles (e.g., amplified radar) and guns?gobs and gobs of guns. ?One of our babies?call it the delayed-action sniper rifle?shoots time-bomb bullets,? Kim says. ?Get hit, and you?ll hear a beeping sound for five seconds and then blow up. Plus, when one player takes a slug, other party members can hear the countdown, too?it puts ?em into a panic as they try to sort out who bit the bullet and get clear before it goes boom.?

[CONQUEROR 45]

A cool kinda gadget thing would be to have some thermal goggles, or a camoflauge device.

[Guyver]

A one time use 'eh? Well I have the perfect gadget.


Explosive squirrels



Sure it sounds absurd.... but it works.

The US government (for real) has already developed devices that can control cockaroche's minds. Apply that to woodland creatures with explosives and the "zerg" wont know what hit them.

Neither will the pathetic humans...

[77Hawk77]

what about Battleships and driveable Airplanes for Sea and Air battles.

[CTU24]

If they were to do battleships which i totaly agree with i think theyd have to wait a while and ummm also if they DO you should be able to walk around in them along with any BIG vehical
