I put together a prototype for an online multiplayer FPS game which revolves around real world factions and divisions.



Obviously everything would look a lot better with dedicated talent, but the main idea behind it was to have a game where players align to their real world alliances and do battle against their real world enemies.

I don't know if anything will come of it, its just something I wanted to put out there as I worked on it in my spare time.

My main question is, and trolling aside, do you like the idea of playing a game where your team mates are people you are aligned with in the real world on big world issues and your opposition are people who you dislike?

And of course it would have FFA type things too, but it makes more sense as a team game.

It really daunting looking at the visual quality of games like BF6, but its 400 million dollar game with about 6,000 staff.

I'm personally bored of so many games these days, so I wanted to bypass legacy rulesets for how games are made.
Arbitrary teams and factions etc, that don't really mean much, and bring in low level emotions and then build a game around that.

Does anyone know if the WMO has a JST connector on the PCB for the cable or are the cables soldered in there? I would like to do the paracord mod but if it's not a matter of switching the cable and you have to solder it then I'll have to find someone skilled that knows how to do it. I have heard some models have the cable soldered permanently and others have a JST connector but isn't clear.
