Neutral Faction Idea

[PriorDaniel]

Since I am new here, I am not sure if this is an actual thing OR if it has been brought up before.

I was reading over the problems REDD was apparently having with population and thought to myself "Why isn't there a mercenary like faction?"

This faction could help fill in spots for both teams when there isn't enough troops. Perhaps this could be done for a fee? Or something of that nature.

I don't know. Just an idea.

I realize there may be issues with everyone wanting to be in this team/ it taking away from the population of Red/Blue. It fits as far as military history is concerned. In almost every war, private contractors fight it out for both sides/whatever side pays the most.

Like I said, just an idea.

This is the one thing that we will never do, it's been done in the past and didn't work. People have brought a similar idea to the table and it didn't get further then the topic it was posted in.

The idea sounds cool as it always does, but it will not work.

Haha. I expected as much. Figured I would mention it anyway.

We need to pin up a "Don't even bother with the following ideas" topic in this subforum lol.

Things to put in there:

Space Battles with Forge World Maps
Green Army
Elite Faction
MLG Gametypes
Clan Battles

The list goes on.

I'm a Rouge Nation Vet. Get at me.

I always wanted to run a mercenary group/platoon to be of service for whichever army needed me per month/week. Would be cool. Logistically, not going to happen.

Can someone please close teh topic nao! Thank you.

I would think why the hell not. Army pays credits to get the mercs to fight for em.

That would be good... should it be expencive or rather cheap?

[RaZ Vader]

hmm. i kinda like the idea. but not really? I wonder how many people you would consider to be "MERCS" Should they be the elite players of FC? Should they be respected/retired members? How many people? all questions that i can't even answer lol

I'm leaning towards Elite.

Just something else to consider for H4.

[ThatRussianBear]

How about instead of throwing away the idea instantly, we actually try to solve the problems of this idea and then say if it will work or not

[RaZ Vader]

I don't think I said I threw it away. But most of us have experience with this idea. But, it doesn't mean we are willing to try to actually work with it. Although it something we did try in the past, maybe if we have ample time, and a simple way to organize this idea, it will work.

Elites wont be playable in H4. So that wouldnt work in the long run.

I think we mean.. "ELITE" as in the best players -_-

[H2O Yordle]

Oh, Im sorry. When something that has to do with Halo, says Elite I think the dinosaurs.

[VerbotenDonkey]

I don't know, we still have problems interArmy, and basically this would be adding a third faction. I think we should hold off til both Factions are self sustained. And sticking the most elite players neutral sounds terrible O.o I thought we were trying tp prevent team stacking.

indeed. But if its used as a perk. it gives incentive to save. I would think a perk like this would be expensive. But i have no plans on trying this out anytime soon because of the reasons you listed.

[H2O Yordle]

Then they would just save for one perk and never use any of the others.

[Yehsus]

Expensive but not out of reach, and limits for use in each army per month.

Like I said I'm interested in leading this for H4

[HellSpawn 101]

sounds cool

[Blackhawk570]

sounds cool

You're cool

[d3ad1te]

Can't use on the capitol battles either.

[VerbotenDonkey]

What if both Factions bought the perk at the same time?

[HellSpawn 101]

bidding war

I posted a blog about this a long time ago shooting it down permanently; it should still be up and the title makes it stand out. Never forever never in the history of forever will we have a third faction when logistically it wouldn't work while we still have to solve the flaws in our main factions.
