ok so like its what ever they make sc2 like u make guys in RTS and stuff but when you get into a battle then a pop up will appear which will write "do you want to go to FPS?" then under it will say yes or no if u say no then it will stay RTS if u say yes then if your say terran then a loading screen will come up and load the textures how many guys you and your enemies have if you have air units all the buildings down to the very last rescource so any way after its done loading (about 5 min) if you are out numbered at the place you are at you still yould have a chance i know this how you are wondering where will you start at when you go FPS well to awnser that the place where you have most men or you can chane location but the default place is the place where you have the highest concentration of your men from there you can give orders and if you have dropships shuttles overloards then you can call for renforcemnts evac or just transport now your thinking how would that work well you would press a botton that displays your orders and pauses the game if you want renforcemnts it will tell you if you have carrier units or not if you do it will show you many men are at your main base (start location) and give you a list of possibilies you can do if you need some armor call in tanks or revers ect. if you need support goliaths hydras what ever or you can mix n match wouldnt that be cool it will also be flight sim if your the toss and you want to experience the trill of flying into a bunch of wraiths with a few men following you n just blow the crap out of them do so, oops i left something out you can give your men orders if your a zealot and you want some men following you into the enmy base wile your in FPS you can do so and if you attacking the terran then you can phisically walk into their buildings and blow them up from the inside and you can see the worker units working and gathering rescources and when you get close they flee or try to fight you and you can exit FPS and get back into RTS mode when ever you want to well i think i couvered everything i hope you like it cant wait to read the responces:_penguin:

Ever hear of punctuation?

Starcraft shouldn't be a FPS. That's why Ghost was cancelled.

First Idea I suggested at SC.org was the one posted here. Struck down, yes, but it has been implemented in a game or two. Most notable is Microsoft's Urban Assault. Home of the Underdogs has a ripped copy of it, if you're interested.

"Postponed Indefinitely"

It's pretty much cancelled.

Yeah, thats right. Keep believing. Keep believing.

Anyway, what I read of it it seems like a good idea, only it would be to hard to use during RTS, however I think it is a decent idea for TBS.

in my opinion.... awful idea.
that is, however, irrelevant beside the issue of your spelling and complete lack of punctuation. i recommend seeing a doctor asap.
sure it would be cool flying a wraith into a bunch of mutas, or peering out of a marines helmet and blasting away at the charging zerglings...
but
a) sc units die too quick
b) who the F***s gonna want to wait 5 minutes before every battle for some nerd to go first person???
my conclusion: save it for a first person sc game. not that it will ever happen. but still.
and if it did, your idea (if it had a vague concept of grammer or spelling) seems better than ghost. in my opinion.

Yeah. It would just take to long, and wehile your puttering around in fps mode the enmie just comes in and blows up your base in rts mode.

Nobody would want to be forvced into FPS mode. either you dont have it at all, or you make it an option for gameplay that dosnt effect all other players.

Well what about WoS? I'm thinking TPS combined with FPS in a crazy funk hybrid. Trust me, man. It'd be cool. No RTS needed; that goes only with StarCraft 2, after all.

The FPS rate wouldn't be all that low either, considering it'd incorporate advanced server technology similair to that of Eve, along with mass Blizz funds, Vivendi backing, and beyond the year 2010 general gaming technology. So yah.

You obviously lack general SC RTS knowledge that comes with an experienced... nay! Semi-experienced SC player. Any form of counter or tactic can send a player who looked like he was winning, biting the dust because he happened to feel the urge to go into FPS mode. He was probably a noob that didn't deserve it either, considering FPS mode in a rapid online struggle is for 12 year old internet invaders that barely managed to will their eyes away from their game of "Run Escape!" for half an hour. Plain and simple.

EDIT: Double post was a necessity. I haven't the time to quote him in the same post! Apologies in advance. :P
