[edit] Semi-vehicular combat games
Should we include semi-vehicular combat games (games not dedicated to vehicular combat, but include it)? These would include the Battlefield series, the Star Wars Battlefront series, the Grand Theft Auto series, the FarCry series, the Burnout series, and quite a few other games.
- In all honesty, I don't think Burnout really qualifies as vehicular combat. The only weapon you have is your car, and most of the gameplay modes are race modes with the added attraction of really ramming the opponents, rather than blasting them. I'd suggest moving that to the racing section, instead of the combat one. I'd also say the GTA games don't rely on vehicular combat as much--it's a rare mission that requires that sort of action. But that's just my opinion. IL-Kuma 08:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New Category
We need a new category or a purge I think. A lot of these games are not even close to vehicular combat. GTA never really fit and when it did try to, it was just mostly a short stint of people shooting at you while you run over people or in GTA2's case getting a machine gun while no one else had weapons on their vehicles.
Quarantine is a vehicular combat game Death Rally counts Mafia does not count, it just had guys in a car and there was no focus on the vehicles themselves.
We also need to split up games into combat racing and straight vehicular combat where racing is not emphasized. Klichka 06:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't the Descent series be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.77.232.145 (talk) 01:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
