I'd like to see a 3d-accelerated turn-based 3rd person perspective
squad-level tactical combat sim. It would have selectable views etc.
It could be done pretty neat. Sort of a cross between the X-Com UFO &
TFTD tactical combat interface, and a rotateable selectable and
scaleable third person view. That way you could manuever through
absolutely all kinds of terrain and buildings and obsticles etc.
Making the game in 3d would make adding and making objects for the
game would be easier as well. I guess sorta like X-Com Alliance...
only with the first-person view, and with the essense of gameplay,
style and organization management of UFO and TFTD. I'd like to see
Helicopters and tanks and stuff be used as well. That would rock :-)
