Ultimate Online Game?

Part of being in a group called "Christian Gamers Online" is that you have a license to discuss computer games! We have certainly been doing this in the past few months as new releases have become available. But most of what we have been doing is just reacting to what the market has brought. Wouldn't it be great if we could craft an "ultimate game?"

The first thing our ultimate game would have is an easy to use game administration program; one that makes it easy to communicate with the players and limit foul language and player names. This is a must-have for any group wishing to maximize fellowship while also creating a family-friendly playing environment.

Another priority would have to be that the game be fun! What's fun? Well, if the popularity of COD4, Battlefield, and other FPS games is any indication, we're talking about a team-based battle game. Some of these are more complicated than others; and some have more complex team strategy methods, but I think the success of COD4 would allow us to point to that combination of ease of use and complexity as a good example. Just like COD4, our ultimate game would need to have a variety of maps and gamestyles to keep things from getting monotonous. Of course, the ultimate way to ensure this is to allow fans of the game to create "mods" of maps, player kits, and gamestyles. Think of it, one day you could be playing on a map of a modern day city with a modern combat kit, and the next you could play in ancient Europe dressed in chain mail and iron weapons! Yeah, the gamer in you is interested now, right?

Well, what else should be part of an "Ultimate Game?" What am I missing?
