I find MWO to be a very static game, as in the only thing that can really move is Mechs. Even the water is very boring and still. I'm not saying the game is not fun, but in this day and age games are very dynamic. There's usually a lot going on and lots of sensory input/stimulus. I think a random weather generator would be quite interesting, and perhaps a random temperature generator since temp affects gameplay. It would be a good way to create a bit more variety in gameplay without having to fork out new maps or game modes. Of course, this would be within certain parameters, such as Terra Therma would generally be very high temps, but wouldn't always be 95 degrees. Also, I am unsure as to whether gravity affects mech jump distance and speed, but I believe it doesn't. It only makes sense that it should though, right?
tl;dr
-Random Weather, ex. rain, snow, cloudy, sunny,
-Random Temp (within parameters)
-Gravity affects gameplay
Random temp and gravity I'd imagine would be fairly easy since everything is kind of there already. Temp already affects cooling and whatnot.
Weather would probably be very difficult. I'm not well-versed enough in creating complex algorithms but I'd imagine with things such as sun and shadowing it would a handful. Perhaps someone well versed in programming could shed some light on that one.
Feel free to share your thoughts, opinions, or to call me an idiot.
