Re: The Colonel 100 as a rare super-bot?

@ST1GUSI am talking real Easter Egg here. Nothing too ridiculous or game-breaking. To be fair, EA DICE did put a BF Friends Easter Egg in with the DICE camo, so there is precedent for it.

Let me be clear, there is no way I want any Easter Eggs or Phantom program stuff or anything to come before releasing a good, well-polished game first and foremost... but I do want those other things to come in at some point for sure!

    @carsono311 Yes that's cool and battlefield, but the idea of the Colonel running round the field, would take something away from the game and the Bf friends humor, as the reason the Colonel and co are funny is that many player's can relate to the character's personally in some way or other whether reaching level 100 themselves or just observing a player that has reached that level or even being the noob 😉 I hope too that the game is stable and balanced before adding easter egg's and fluff 🙂

    Would LOVE to see C100 just land on some pilot's windshield out of nowhere and knife them

  • @TTZ_Dipsy Ha! I can hear guys screaming, now: "OMG, I got the Colonel! OMG! Look! It's him! BEST! DAY! EVER! OMG, I have to save this!" *stab.*

    THIS !

    Should be the 'reward' and end-game consequence for anybody going 50-0 in an air- vehicle/craft !  🙂

    Anyone have any more ideas for The Colonel? Or any other Easter Egg ideas?

  • I get the idea of making this happen... But don´t you guys believe the bots ingame are going to be dumb, senseless dummies...

    How will the devs ever be able to programm the bots to have a slight sense of useful AI. 

    Titanfall2 has both enemy and friendly bots in lobbies and it takes like litterly 2.5 seconds to shred through a group of 6 enemy bots...

    @DeeCay_DK_81Yes, I do think they will be challenging to some degree... I am quite confident some bots are going to be hacklords and some will be dumb as rocks till it is fine-tuned.

    I would certainly prefer a happy medium, but I understand some people are going to whine and winge when a bot kills them... so yeah.

    How about he can only be stopped by the lowest ranked player? That'd tie in to Neebs killing him quite nicely.

    @FringerunnerYES. Something along these lines is exactly what I was thinking.

    I like that it requires having watched the series in order to understand why that is a "special" way to kill him. No spoilers, no hints, just have to have that knowledge and try it out on him... great idea.

    @ElliotLH  I like that angle as well... man, that would be tough to figure out.  Although, some of these Easter Egg hunters we have... who knows?

    I find the whole idea totally stupid.

    One thing is bots/AI to fill out the server, but "specialists" - "special bots"  ... the whole idea makes it look more like a gimmick than a good fps.

    Only classes ingame should be the ones players can select being the "normal" classes we had in previous BF's - the AI's should be the same with same choice of gear.

    @0ld_yell0w Another target!

    You clearly did not read through the entire thread, but thank you for your input.
  • @0ld_yell0w This whole silly discussion is about a cartoon character in Battlefield Friends. You can find the series on Youtube. In fact, if you read the previous posts, you can find a link to a hilarious video.

    @0ld_yell0w ,

    I think that the Colonel can be implemented without being a game breaker for other players that are not so much buying into the BF history and the classic Battle Field Friends characters/storylines.  (yes, it also takes some self irony and humor)

    Much like we had the Megalodon on Paracel Storm.  Hundred of thousands of players have been on that map without ever seeing it once.  Still goto a BF4 Paracel Storm server just for that Megalodon Easter Egg and you will see friends and foes alike cramming together on top of the windmill to get zapped by the lightning.  And right after again, all boating/parachuting into the island where the Megalodon would arrive shortly after...

    You also had BFF Neebs joining the fun when we solved the LA Camo Easter Egg.  "Promoted!"  🙂

    Again, just a subset of all players doing it...  

    So why not allow the developers and other gamers to have that extra fun and make the game diverse and inspiring in all the ways it can be, as it can easily be done without negatively impacting other players not much buying into Easter Eggs/BFF!
