ok... so i was thinking

open source + scorched earth 2d + teamplay + lots of weapons + different units (eg soldiers) + network/online play + eye candy + turn based OR realtime + mods + user made levels + scripted levels + good sound

what do you think?


EDIT: ugh.. screwed the title

I had to look it up, but scorched earth is indeed fun. I forget what the name of the clone I used to have was.

I think that you should restate the original post in a format that people bad at math can understand ( like me).
