Why Terminator would make a great class based shooter


For decades now fans of the terminator series have been teased by the post apocalyptic war after Judgment Day. This "era" or war set in the terminator universe has not been as flushed out as I think it could, and should have. Especially in gaming, leading us to my first brainstorming session;

What if the next Terminator game was a classed based multiplayer shooter in the vein of Team Fortress 2 and Battlefield?


Skynet VS. Humans




As seen in the picture above; the line of terminators from Skynet lends itself perfectly to the traditional class based play style system. The chassis' and features are varied from model to model; you can easily compare these to TF2 classes - 

Look Familiar?

T-1000 would make the PERFECT spy...Enough said


Obviously I could continue the path of granularity however I believe this gets the point across. Humans can vary by equipment based loadouts complimented with reverse engineered Skynet technology while the Terminators are classed by mechanical features and chassis models. This may be rough to stretch as a standalone title without exponential development costs and time. Instead I suggest that this be made into mod of an existing game. If given the treatment that EA gave to Battlefield Vietnam (Bad Company 2) this fantasy could turn into a reality all terminator fans would come together for. Just because the entire franchise is primarily focused on preventing said war doesn’t mean that the war didn’t happen. I would be really excited to see more content based around the war, even if it isn’t in the form of a game. I just think this story would work really well in this genre.

It all starts here

Well Well Well.
Dr Freeman has risen from intellectual ashes, what?! I must write you say?! 
For a long time now I have been told by friends, family members and stream fans that I needed to make a blog! I finally have, hours of ranting will finally be recorded, is that a good thing? Hopefully! Who knows maybe they told me that to isolate me and shut me up! (Finally?!)

After hours of endless brainstorming I found it hard to decide on what article or topic to begin with. I felt that it needed to be genuine, from my heart and soul. Not whatever is most prevalent or expected but what I wanted to communicate. For me the hard part was deciding where to begin, this is the prologue to the rage, laughter, memories and in some case tears (no pvp in diablo?! what?!! that created tears alright)
Without further adieu, I am happy to announce that my first "real" post is currently being drafted and slated for release by the end of the week. This introduction serves as the cherry poppin of my literary skills and practicing the flow that I need. After all its been a while since I’ve touched more than the W,A,S&D keys…..


Thank you for your support!
