What do War Game's need next?

Real teamwork. So many games boast about teamwork now but I find it to be useless unless you're playing with friends. I liked the teamwork on Bad Company 2, enhancements on that would be great.

Also, a new ARMA would be cool. One that works well though and with a storyline that actually interests me. Oh and realistic voice acting too.

Gadget Show did a feature on possible future of game interfaces that could be done. The one I was most impressed with was a treadmill with 2 degrees of movement (ie, combined with a VR helmet, it was the closest thing I've seen to the Holodeck from Star Trek. I can't find a video of it unfortunately, but the idea that you can run around yourself in war games sound very appealling. Would certainly stop people bloody bunny hopping all the time!

Well, two years later and the Gadget Show actually make a damn good simulator (shown last night): -

I was actually discussing with someone at work a couple of months ago of using the Kinect to track crouch, jump and lean. Replace the screen with a pair of video goggles (get 3D then as well), and some simple tracking and you can pretty much replecate most of that at home. The only big problem is recreating the movement. To be honest, I'd pretty happy with just the above all working well for now.

I haven't played any war games in a while but I'm looking at picking it up again soon. I'd agree with the OP. We need a developer that will make a decent engine that can handle a lot more different aspects rather than be really good at the necessities + 1 extra. It'd be great if there'd be a cross between BF+ARMA

that would be superb.

But we need a proper flight engine in there.... a real sim. and a Naval engine too. + real tanks

BF+ARMA+IL-2+ Silent Hunter+ World of Tanks

Big ask
