I am currently making 3D models and code for a test of this game: Instead of the normal soldier vs. soldier game, this game would feature Marines vs. Squirrels. It would probably be online and take place in a forest. Marines would try to take out squirrels with shotguns but the squirrels would try to go in large groups and ambush the Marines. It sounds kind of bizarre but it''s meant to be that way. There would be grenades, land mines, and even huge weaponry like tanks and artillery to defeat the tiny squirrels. Imagine walking through a forest trying to look around the ground for squirrel ambushes, eventually trying to get a team to the squirrel compound Anyway, I also wanted to know if this would be better as first person, third person, or both. Any comments?

Would the squirrels have weapons too, or would they just bite the soldiers to death?

Yes, they would probably just gnaw on soldiers. It might be even funnier to have squirrels carrying around AK-47s. My friend said that squirrels should be able to hijack tanks. I was thinking about limiting mines and explosives to humans, though.

Go for the eyes boo! GO FOR THE EYES!!!! RAAAAAAH!!!

...

Oh wait, Boo was a hamster... and he hates squirrels... with their beady little eyes...

But... but wouldn''t that mean that the soldiers would hurt the squirrels? =(

Get Tranced!

I''d say that if the squirrels grouped up, there wouldn''t be too many of THEM getting hurt since they are a lot faster.

Make a "bush-whack-attack" or something similar where that bushy tail goes into action.

You stole my idea! lol, kidding. I actually did have a humorous idea like this involving squirrels but I had to reinstall Windows XP and lost the whole game design doc. Anyways, good idea and I hope it can go farther.

lol I was about to say a Minsc/boo comment!!!

If you plan to keep the proportions right between the size of a squirrel and the size of a marine then that''d be seriously cool.

I''d buy a game like that. But you will need to make sure you support both first-person AND third-person. I can see some people will prefer first-person as a marine, but third as a squirrel.

Some will prefer third person for both.

Get it built. And let us know when its finished.
