Curious about what's been suggested before? Wondering if your ideas have already been shot down? Trying to find an untouched topic to bring up for discussion?

You've come to the right place. This thread will compile all suggestions, old and new, into one area for ease of browsing. Both Devs and players will benefit, no suggestion shall pass by undiscussed.

===[Introduction]
~Hot Topics: Very current topics, come here to get in on the action and voice your opinion!
~To-be Implemented: These are already planned to be implemented, no need to make a new thread to suggest them!
~Shot-down Suggestions: These failed horribly in the public's eye. Think you can put a twist on these dead, decaying topics? By all means, tread carefully when ressurrecting these topics.
~Hung Suggestions: These topics were possibly touched on by developers, but were not declared as "Accepted" or "Denied". Feel free to necro if you think these ideas are worthwhile to discuss, you may sway developers into considering them.

Did that seriously only take an hour?

Ballin'. Time to go pwn nabs.

I'll be very surprised (in a good way) if you can keep this going for more than about a week. Should be stickied, to be honest.

Good list, watch out for biases though... specifically in the "Shot down" section.  Some of them deserve to be there (autoaim, crouch, single player) but some of them are a bit controversial.  The "hot topics" also may not be a good idea because this is continuously changing.... unless you don't mind updating this every couple of days.

I would have just put 3 sections: to be implemented, ridiculous ideas (reserved for the most idiotic things posted here), and hung.

The shot-down list is for things that developers (mostly munge) have declared will never happen or have a huge public outcasting. Granted while I'm only human and may have put something there via Bias (lol autoaim), feel free to reply about such topic and we'll see if it fits somewhere else. Same goes for any other topic, this list will continuously change - I've no problem with maintaining it every so often.

Bump for justice, would like some dev opinions on this.

This thread is made of win and awesome and has therefore been stickied.

Also updated with the winningest demo recording thread ever.

Put shotdown suggestions at the end.

^ Done, and edited to add new suggestions.

Well done.

updates pending, school is wooping me this week. Should be updated this weekend (oh god so many new suggestions)

only post the ones worth your time.

like mine? :X

I'd like to make a suggestion. After playing a few hours with the Capture the Flag unlimited Health glitch, I found it really fun and I think there should be a unlimited health mode. It was unbelievably fun playing with the health glitch, esp. getting 700+ speeds from overdrive free falls from half a billion feet.

If there can't be a unlimited health mode, at least a sandbox or map creator mode would be cool.

 

Can I suggest an idea for a new map? I don't know much about how to post here...I'm not even sure how I got this forum file. But How about a map that is all terrain? only a flat patch of land with the flag in the middle? It would be all full of hills and maybe a secret cave near the edge of the map. It might sound stupid, I don't know, but I think I would like a map like that, maybe with grass, tall grass.

Hope this goes into consideration! [My, I must sound like a complete n00b...]

This topic is really only a collection or summary of what's going on in the community. If you have a cool idea, by all means post it up. But do so in the right place. Search to see if there is a topic already about the thing you're trying to suggest, or make your own.

Also: I don't want to sound rude but when you do present your idea, make it more elaborate than this. Right now I have no idea why this would be fun and how this could possible add anything to legions.
