I think the game has lots of potential due to its 3-D aspects to become not just a game with your Cycle on the floor but in the air like in the movies where there are planes. Lots of people find this game because they want to find a free tron game. If you added a sky feature that would please the noobs who just found the game because of tron and they expect it to be different than what it is. I think popularity would gain quickly. Here's how would do this feature.
1st Divide Internet MultiPlayer into 3 sections Armaskytron, Armafloortron & Armamixtron. Armafloortron would be the game we have now and ill explain how Armaskytron would work.
Armaskytron
Views, Purposes & How the round would start:
Armaskytron would start on the floor of the grid taking off from the floor in cockpit mode (You could do AMAZING things with a cockpit mode like autotargeting, shooting lazer buttons, spin button that spins the plane etc.) then you could switch to front view or grid view (grid view is where you can stand and look back down at the grid in ArmaMixtron, which ill explain what mixed fortress is later.) You could have a 3 screen TV on cockpit mode so you could watch behind u and to your left and right. Last of all you would have sky view view where you look at the sky in the view of someone looking down on your plane and see around you. I've found views are not important enough in Armagetron currently so this would be an epic way to get them used and add some cool new ones.
Similarity's to current Armagetron or Armafloortron:
1. The plane would have a grid and lines just a 3-D grid of lines.
2. You could have the same modes such as CTF, Sumo, Fort, Dogfight (Dogfight would have shooting) etc. in Armaskytron and Armamixtron it would Just be in the sky and on the floor or in the sky.
3. There would be views
4.There would be a grid and there would be even more similarity's
Armamixtron
Mixed fortress:
In mixed fortress two teams would be made. Each team would have 1+ people in the air and 1+ people on the floor. There would be 4 win zones, 2 on the floor & 2 in the sky. Each team would try to beat the other on the ground and in the sky by capturing the win zone. If there are only 2-3 players then AIs would need to play on the sky or ground.
Mixed Sumo, CTF, Dogfight
In Sumo all the same rules are followed except there is Sumo in the ground and sky and the sky sumo circle would be a sphere not circle. CTF 4 flags, capture the enemies 2 flags, Dogfight kill all enemies in the sky and floor.
These would be lots of work but if you kept at it I bet it would eventually get done and I think popularity would skyrocket, server hosts would have more incentive to make better options and the development team would get more members ultimately. Hope I could help
No.
