Wii is more suited for RA1 IMO, and RA2 for DS.

Is there even a way to release it without getting in legal trouble with the people who made RA2? I know that they don't care anymore, but they would probably like to get some money out of a lawsuit if they could.

Well, there's always asking permission, that kind of crap.

Well.....I don't know I usualy just use the ranged stuff and things like that on bots that I build ...Let's say just for looks.....I mean I built a Jumping bot once..but it turned our to be usless in combat.....The pistons can't be sincronised and i just ended up tipping over on the side.
Well that aside It would be nice to use the weapons from custom components, but not the high powered ones...like the cannon,crossbow,and such.Maybe make them to do normal damage, i mean the one from like...dunno darkpack....
Also it would be nice to atach more stuff.I had this idea to make a scorpion bot once...but i can't stack too many burst motors on it.
Ohh by the way, i have as a custom weapon the micro flame thrower, and I understand it can't be used in onlines....well that is preety close combat if u ask me.Also for a realistic look it could drain the air tanks fast so you can't use it the whole match.
So what I am saying is that it would be nice to have some custom parts in online games.And dunno make some sort of separation at the parts when you build your bot like: These are for your game only, and these can be used online.
Well dunno it's just an idea.

Custom parts are cheating, because not everyone has access to them. We have gone years without using them, and we probably won't start.

Agree with SB.

i second that.

Maybe add a feature that unlocks real-life bots for the user to use, especially Mechadon

. :D

Oh yeah. Seeing it move is just awesome. =P~

Eeeh, I don't think anyone's made a walking bot that's competitive. So it's doubtful.

There aint any motor powerful enough in the stock game. But with some modding and AIing however...

Seriously? Actual walking bots, not like extenders attached to high speed motors by their sides?

It should have:
-A lot of arenas
-No ranged weapons!
-Lots of componets

Heck no guys ! Stop with ranged weapons! RA2 is not a FPS!

This gets all the fun out of the game. Battlebots and Robot Wars said it: it's melee combat! (or at least close range).

Perhaps the chainsaw, yes...

I have some ideas:

-IC and pneumatic motors (and fuel, of course)
-Complex chassis mode (option) to create exotic thingy like spheres, pyramids, rings...
-Add the multibot option (controlling two bots in fight. Three is excessive)
-Add the Superheavyweight class (from 800 to 1400 perhaps)
-Include all classes (AW and BW, notably)
-Able to customize easily the connector-type components (connectors of course, but tribars also), by exemple color and material
-Upgrade Team Deathmatch (no two fixed teams)
- Possible 6 bot fights (oh yeah. Clobberin'time), but this could be wild for some computers

Three of theses are difficult, I know.

maybe a new patch or the next version of dsl will have them

exept flamethrowers. Sgt. Bash, a house bot, had a flamethrower. they should be in a game.

Ranged weapons meaning guns/lasers/projectiles.

System32 · « **Reply #98 on:** April 22, 2009, 04:26:00 PM »

Let's start with a topdown flash game.
