Let's say Valve opened up a Wish List for Team Fortress 3. They say that while the game is in development they are letting people submit suggestions to the developers. They will pick the one they feel would work best and include you in the game credits, and give you the first copy of the game upon release. What would you want to see in TF3?

Since I haven't been playing too long, I'm not sure what I'd want (yet).

Whoaaaaa dude...I waited eight years for Team Fortress 2 after it's original announcement before it finally came out, I don't think it's right to speculate about it's sequel already!

No need for TF3 cuz it will take 10 years or more before they announce it

Erm It will take atleast a year before they finish the class updates I think TF3 is out of the question until then.

Only wish I'd have for TF3 though is if they come out with 1 class update they come out with all the others at the same time.

Considering the length of time it takes to develope a game, I would imagine that there has to be a lot of pre-planning. So, maybe take what you don't like (if there is anything) about TF2 or anything you feel the game might be missing and apply that. While I feel the game is a lot of fun, looks great, and offers a wide variety of gameplay, I think everyone secretly wants to see something that might be more than this game can handle or needs. TF2 has a way to go still before any of us will tire of it, but like all things, eventually that will happen. So maybe think about the things you like most about the game and hope that someone doesn't screw with how-ever many years down the road TF3 might be.

I was thinking the other day about how funny it would be if every charactor had melee weapons (Poor Heavy) and hand to hand fighting too. I remember when I started working in Bars in the late 80's and how it never ceased to amaze me when some little scrawny guy could take down a much bigger guy. Size and build were never a good indicator of how things would turn out, and still aren't, in any fight. Imagine being able to knock the weapon from a players hand and beat em with it. Pistol whipping an Engineer with his own gun, or teeing off on a Pyro with his own flamethrower.

I would bet that someone somewhere at Valve is already bouncing ideas around. It also might be the fact that I played console games for so long that I can't fathom waiting 8 years from this release until the next. If I had to wait for 8 years between God of War releases, Jack and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, or GTA I wouldn't have cared about the next game. So while I may need to slow down, hell I'm so far behind most players anyway, and enjoy TF2, I still can't help but wonder what's next and will they take what we have now and try to make it bigger and better or will it be as big a departure as TF2 was from the original.

Back to the maps with 4 teams - Green, Red, Yellow, and Blue. like TFC.

That would be baller.
Everything else is pretty fine atm IMO.

I doubt TF3 is even more then a Wish in the minds of Valve developers. They are still working on finishing TF2 and have a million bugs to address still. Not to mention all the other games they are working on. TF3 is most likely two Source Engine releases or more away. Like CS the only real reason to release a new version over updating the old one is because there is a new graphics engine for it.

As far as content, I like the 4-Team idea that Xzi mentioned. Even that could be addressed in updates to TF2. I would also like to see more in game custom character options. Male and Female Character models and the option to make other changes. I know these things are out there as third-party mods but we all know how Valve likes to borrow ideas from it's players.

More classes would be nice too or the ability to change class settings. Like being able to swap weapons and certain abilities between classes, with certain nerfs ofcourse. For example, the Scout can swap out his Scatter Gun for the Soldier's Rocket Launcher. His speed gets reduced to just a little faster then the Solider and loses his double jump since he can now rocket jump but gets an extra 25-50HP and keeps his ability to cap points twice as fast. This is just one example but would make game play much more interesting.

Oh Shizzle? Didn't know they even had 4 teams in TFC... I hope they bring this to TF2, sounds like mayhem... I like it!
But seriously TF3 would be wayyyyy off, but I'd like to see some new classes, maybe a witch doctor and a barbarian would be nice

They didn't. QuakeWorld Team Fortress had 4 team maps.

Technology is moving a bit fast to make a graphical or some sort of gameplay achievement call or wish list for the future. Perhaps more customization with the classes or more classes. Once again i would like to see what they do finishing up tf2 before I go looking forward to tf3. Maybe in the future have some variety besides two teams fighting in an industrialize area, or a deserted twisted farm area as it occasionally gets old as setting. What they could do instead I don't know as if it were something like a city classes become rather disadvantaged (sniper vs all though buildings) and other Advantaged (look at all those corner to go visable in.

How about a last man standing acheivement? After Red or Blue wins, then the game pits the team against itself. Last one standing gets bragging rights. Big time. Set the acheivements for 10 last man standing wins, or winning last man standing in each class. It would be interesting to watch with no respawn to run to, or no cloaking advantage.

Bah - that kind of defies the team aspect of the game. Like the medic would suddenly find himself screwed; and too many players would end up hiding while the rest of the players offed each other - while the players on the losing team sit around waiting in boredom.

While it is counter to the Team in Team Fortress, it would be a random thing that you never know when it's going to pop up. Ya cap the final point and suddenly you see LAST MAN STANDING! on the screen. Give it a 30 to 45 second time limit or no one gets any points, Melee weapons only with a chain link fence proportional to the number of players (so the area shrinks realative to the number of players remaining)like a steel cage match trapping the remaining players on a section of the map where there is no hiding. Have all Melee attacks equaled out so each player has to land the same number of hits to take someone down. It would probably be all over in 15 seconds.

Like the Purple Monkey Zombie class idea. Do they fling explosive poo?
