Easter eggz...should I make em?
The team has thought of a long list of good gags...so many in fact, that we could just make JAD 4 :lol:

Anyway, should I put them in FOW3? and if so, what should be their "activation mechanic" (since I don't want it to ruin the mood and seriousness of the campaign)

Basicly I though of 2 approaches:
1 - unlock per mission basis - in each mission with a egg, you can unlock it's apperance with a highly unlikely action (something you wouldnt normally do in a mission - like scaning random freighter number 3 while you should be escorting the destroyer)

2- one time unlocker - basicly they can all be unlocked in the first mission by a action that will set a specific variable, and all easter eggs will be triggered by it.

Cast your votes!

Why not? The one with Joe Petrosino (on a Viper VII)pursuiting the Godfather(on a Scar-face) is cool. We should have it somewhere! :lol:

Don't tell them the easter eggz...one more slip like that and the next thing you know you'll tell them about the VB in C and the HMMOA1!! :D

Re: Easter eggz...should I make em?
These are always fun to have. Option 1 is the way to go, as the jokes can then be seen individually in the mission simulator. The alternative will require the player to go through the entire campaign again and they would have to be seen in order, which most people will not have the patience for.

I'm actually thinking of funny moments throughout the campaign, like DEM's Sathanas appeareance.

current vote status - lotsa eggz.

Allright guys, looks like we have our workcut out for us...some of the gags *will* require specific new models so I better get cracki'n :blah:

Easter eggs are bad. People always take them too seriously (Remember all the Helios and myrmidon threads?).

Re: Easter eggz...should I make em?
lotsa eggs, with triggers like obscure key press chains that would probably happen randomly (left ctrl, then t, then tab, then backspace, then space)) and killing a certain wingman before the action starts. heck, even flying into arcadia rings/collosus fighter bays are valid, improbable triggers.
