With the recent vehicle topic I had a pretty cool idea.

First I'm assuming that vehicles will be in the game AND we will be able to fight with them.

Where there are people, there is entertainment. Gambling and animal pit fighting are fun, but they only take you so far. Vehicles death matches are the way to go for entertaining the mass. Take the Roman Empire, they had arenas full of gladiators fighting often to the death for entertainment. They recreated battles involving chariots, foot soldiers, cavalry, archery, etc... And the people loved it!! Why? Because it was fun, and they could bet money on them.

What I'm offering is a similar concept. What I imagine is, PVP matches of 2 or 3 teams facing-off in a maximum of 3 cars each with a max of 4 passagers per car. Each car would have one driver and 3 possible passengers at the start of the game. As the game starts passengers can leave the car at any moment and fight on foot. (Why the hell do you have cars then?) (Stick with me)

Whether you're a driver, a passenger or on foot you have pros and cons.
The driver: he drives the car and shoots
Weapons: One handed and the CAR (For people on foot)
Pros: Protected by the car, you have a car for a weapon.
Cons: One handed weapons only
Passenger: Follows the driver and shoots
Weapons: One handed, two handed
Pros: Protected by the car and can use two handed weapons
Cons: You don't drive, Can't use Big Guns
On foot: Normal foot soldier
Weapons: Any
Pros: Can use Big Guns
Cons: Vulnerable to raming and not car protected
Car: Protect the passengers until it blows up.

Not only there could be death matches, but also King of the hills, forts, death races, flag grabbing, etc...
Alliances, guilds, enemies, teams, friends, strangers could fights each other until real life do them part. All with their own custom cars.

As for the rewarding system. The best team wins and gets the most reward. Whether its money, fame, equipment or all of the above, I leave to gamesas.

Hope you liked the idea. PLZ comment, we can only improve on the concept. "War. War never changes."

the thing is that fallout online is supposed to be set during a time where ppl are rebuilding again (which can be from day 1 after the nukes) and in the thread u read i posted a link to an old thread about transportation. its a very usefull thread and i think it was bikkebakke that pointed out that the biggest problem in having cars in fallout was that it wouldnt make sense, mostly due to tires. in the end of the thread most ppl realised that cars wouldnt be a good option for the game so your idea, tho a good one, wouldnt really fit the game... In gaming terms... Life's a die, then you bich.

As I said in the first post I'm Assuming that there would be cars, however improbable that may be. I did not want to hold back on a concept just because there a high probability that cars will not be included. And as far as I know gamesas did not yet confirm the presence or not of vehicles. So until then, who knows. "War. War never changes."

thats true. more than half of the threads could prolly be deleted if we knew more about the game. but u had your 2 cents and i had mine, no grudge In gaming terms... Life's a die, then you bich.

Vehicle combat could be interesting if done well. There are a few MMOs in development that are attempting to implement vehicle crews.

OH SHIT! I just thought of something...

Imagine being able to have a MadMax style road chase through the wasteland! You could have one guy driveing and one on the machine gun! There could be multiples of vehicles, bikes, buggy,s cars, trucks..

Dont know if or how it would fit into the game but its still sounds awesome.

EDIT: oops, didnt even read the other posts just came stright in here with this after seeing the thread tital. Its still an awesome idea!! Join my Fallout Online Facebook page.
