U know what I like to see.................Winter environments. That will me cool. I getting sick of the battlewars that take place on an island. and the ablity to shape the map when making it. For those who dunno what I mean.............adjust the width and length of the map. There could be small bush maps with a brigde or other things we could come up with. It still stays on 2d and the same graphics but a little difference.........And no the game of bolo should stay the same............Jak

I like this idea to. I agree now that we should have a 2D (But i would realy like 3D) winbolo instead of some 80's retro tank-kill-tank messed up same joke kinda thing.

as long as it doesnt change gameplay, im all for it! I really like da ideas of different looking tanks and making your tank look cooler, but not if the game changes. :(

about the winter thing: sum1 mentioned earlier about lgms having fur coats and stuff like that :)

one skin i want: me and my allies are gangsters, and im an extra cool gangsta wit losta piercings, then the enemy are police, bases are lil pics of drug dealers, lgms ride skateboards, and pills look like lil jail cells :P

----that would be sweet urban version of winbolo. :lol:

U know what I like to see happen.............I like to see bolo coming out on the xbox. With high tech 3D graphics. We could still play online using XBox Live or XBConnect. Or maybe it would suck ass. I think comp is better.

You know somewhere on the interent I saw 3D pictures of winbolo from in the game o.o I don't know if someone was trying to render the game in 3D or if it was just some computer art, Either way it was ugly and I think bolo would suck if it was 3D it looks great just as it is with 2D graphics.

i think thats bolo 3d, an i definitely would hate to have bolo in 3d (like that) i wouldnt care if the graphics were made xtra cool as long as it stayed birds eye view.



and btw i think bolo for gameboy advance would be sweet; you could play against a bunch of really good computer players and also you could play specialty levels (see Min's site and my map collection, and go to my profiles ta gte rules for da games.)

the controls would be:

-ctrl pad is to accelerate brake turn ect.
-a is to shoot
-when you press b u switch to building mode and then the ctrl pad moves the lil building cursor, then when you press a it builds the thing and then u can press b ta switch back ta drivin mode.
-r is to mine

and if ya dont like dose controls then u can switch em.

Bolo is like baseball, the game should not be tampered with! I think it's fine the way it is. It doesn't need any more bells and whistles. We don't need more types of vehicles and crap.

If skins are added that changes how the game LOOKS, rather than how the game is PLAYED, that might be ok. As long as the game itself is the same. Then I wouldn't care if you wanted to have your screen be frogs fighting other frogs on their lily pads with flies, or even teddy bears fighting other teddy bears on their dollhouses with chrysanthemums. Just as long as I get to have tanks fighting other tanks on their bases with pillboxes on my screen, and the game of bolo will be what it is now and what it was 10 years ago. :oops:

Who cares if they change the rules of that pathetic "sport" known as "baseball"? Just don't defile the two sacred games (Hockey and WinBolo)

Agreed with sickboy otherwise just leave it alone.

what would be nice to see is the ability to set game speed!!! This would popularize SPEED WINBOLO!!! Also, a nice, convenient way to set tree refresh rate would be nice :D. I also realize that we are all just dreaming coz elvis is never gonna release the souce code :evil: so we will prolly never, ever, see any of this stuff implemented! (no offense to elvis, the supreme lord of WinBolo)

Elvis does what he has time to do you all are lucky he is actually updating the game. how many of you have actually registered winbolo? ....

Changing small things such as graphics would be alright i suppose, but adding diffrent weapons and such would make it not the same, sickboy has a great idea i think with the being able to build more pills, but we really dont have enough players to create campaign style games, and i doubt elvis has the time to do such modifcations to the code. Therefore your all going to be stuck with the same old bolo. :) btw these emos are really lame looking.

My point about baseball is that to most people who like the game, it's sacred and you can't change a single little rule because then it "wouldn't be baseball" anymore. Hockey, although considered sacred by me and you and people in Canada and Michigan and Minnesota and New England, isn't as sacred in that a little rule can change but it's still hockey. The NHL changes things every year: size of the crease, interference penalties, there's even talk about legalizing 2-line passes. MLB hasn't made any changes to baseball since the designated hitter rule in the 1970's.

Although, I admit that I even thought of what it would be like if there was a Winter version of bolo. Think of it: snow constantly falling. frozen water that you can drive across, until something blows up on it, which would make you fall in. but you could shoot yourself a watery path to land. if you don't have ammo i guess you're iced in and you'll freeze over! Better get a teammate to rescue you. Traction would be difficult on the snow-covered ground. Would you line up a pill take and then keep sliding toward it?? maybe each tank would be equipped with road salt so traction around your base would be better... for a little while anyway. What if your lgm ends up in the icy cold water? will he eventually freeze to death if you don't get him right away? Maybe if he's equipped with cross-country skis he'll be able to glide to and from builds easily. Just some things to think about..

Seeing as we're sorta on the topic, how's Rpgmaker-bolo look? heheh :o
