MY COMPENDIUM OF HORRIBLE IDEAS

Post by Carprillo » 05 Jun 2016, 15:25

Hi! Welcome to my thread of absolutely derisive, horrendous, all-around POINTLESS ideas and suggestions for the world of Colonial Marines! The purpose of this thread is quite simple:

It's a landfill.

Basically, I'm putting this here so I can fling around random (completely unworkable) ideas that pop into my head, just so I can get them on paper. I'll be updating the main thread with each new idea I post, which will also be posted in its own separate reply. This thread will update quite often, so if you actually take interest in the ideas of others, or if you just need something to read, make sure to keep an eye on this!

First few ideas (which are just ones I've spouted over the shoutbox over the last month or so) should be up sometime today!
"I will not fight you."
"You have...no choice."
"I'll stand beside you."
"I stand alone."
"YOU'RE STILL THEIR HERO!"
...
"Then THEY...are FOOLS."
...
"THIS CANNOT BE THE ONLY WAY!"

How about mines going off even when marines stomp on them?

Better yet, what if we had mines filled with facehuggers?

BOOM!

What if we gave Predators riot shield versions of Captain America's shield?

All the capabilities of a riot shield, but you can throw it at people and it'll instakill them before returning to you.

Facehuggers are now player controlled.

At the start of the game ~20 players now spawn as facehuggers, and ~10-15 as survivors. The facehuggers actively seek out survivors to impregnate to create the first few xenomorphs. Marines are not briefed or allowed into the hangar until a xeno has been birthed.
I play as this guy, proudly being dismembered by extraterrestrials since 2015.
Sometimes I might play other guys, you never know.

After playing 3 rounds you're blocked from playing anything but drone or squad standard.

What if...WHAT IF...We reverted Xenos to the base three evolutions and original sprites, just like TG/Goon/Hippie?

WOULDN'T THAT BE FUN?!

Remove the rule of using the ripley aplu in combat and replace it with a Marauder.

There is a 1% chance that, when you dispense a weapon from the marine vendors, it dispenses a pulse destroyer instead.
The pulse destroyer only has one setting.
And it is DESTROY.

When you eat MREs, there's a 25% chance you get food poisoning.

When near the SM Core, even in a hazmat suit, there's a 35% chance you get cancer.

A single drone spawns on the Sulaco every round.
