Is this worth my time?

Basically what I'm thinking is a map similar to Dota Style maps but more on the FPS side. The map will consist of these features. Tell me what you think, if I should do it and if people would play it.

-3v3, kill all enemies or enemy HQ for victory
-Gameplay similar to Dota, for example: Cpu vs Cpu spawns, 1 allied to each force.
-Defensive Strategies to protect the HQ and Offensive when attacking enemy HQs, for example: Slowly set up seige tanks to put pressure on the enemy or beef up your base defense.
-Highly influenced from FPS games, for example: Ammo system, Head shot system, weapon proficiency system, body armor system, interchangable gun system, rank ups(level ups), grenades, vehicles and a "miss" system to name a few
-no spells, just abilities unlocked by certain items.
-Item shop in base to purchase health recovery items, ammo and equipment.

Example Guns:
Marine with stim and a short modified attack range - SMG
Marine without stim and max range - Assault Rifle
Ghost with very short modified range - Pistol
Ghost with max range, high damage but very low hp - Sniper
Firebat with mediocre hp/damage - Flamethrower :D
Scarabs - Shotgun

Extras:
Grenades (awesomly triggered)
Proximity Mines
Smoke Grenade
Flash Grenade

Anyways lemme know what you think. Aside from my RPG I think I'm gonna start working on this. Probably an Installation tileset with some extended terrain :)

How are you going to implement that within reason?

The ideas are good, but some of them are too impractical to implement without modding/EUDs, or FRAGS. ;)

Well why not just center a location around the SMG for example. I'd have a 3x3 tile location named SMG and center on him. If he has no enemies present in the location he/she is forced to ally all players with hyper trigs. So the only time he would actually attack is within these range modifying locations. No?

Two problems with that:
1. It's very annoying to have your alliance status constantly messed with. It also has a certain effect you might not want that I will not go into.
2. If there is an enemy in the 3x3 location, you can shoot enemies that are not within it.

Yeah, sorry, but this wouldn't really be much of an interesting game...

An AOS style with no spells and only an upgrade system would be kinda boring imo. Those things work in FPS's because you're actually playing them from a first person perspective. They just dont work that well in an RTS.

Also what Jaff said.

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
