A Dream That May Never Come True, But...

Had a dream last night where one of my characters was fighting the monster from Cloverfield, and as I started to wake up, I realized that this would be a totally awesome thing to do in CoH. Do a new map that's Steel Canyon (or Atlas, or King's Row...) reduced to 1/10th size, with all the buildings replaced by destructible objects (probably ally objects, if it's a hero mission, but you could do a villain version where you're smashing stuff.)

Then have a "board transit" mission where you're supposedly given a "growth serum", so that when you enter the mission the introduction text explains that you grew to ten times normal size in order to fight the giant monsters on their own terms! Populate the mission with enemies of a new faction, and BAM! You're re-enacting "Godzilla vs. (Insert Name Here)".

Of course, I would have to come up with this idea after the game goes onto Death Row, but hey...maybe a miracle will happen. If it does, devs...keep this idea in mind, okay?

That is quite similar to something that is going to be coming to The Secret World. The Tokyo raid was completely inspired by Cloverfield. There are trailers for it on youtube. I won't post them here though out of respect for CoH.
