Constantly Changing Terrain

 In-game terrain changes in real time

In this game, the terrain morphs constantly around you in a random fashion while buildings, obstructions, etc. appear and disappear in different random locations. The advantage gained by learning a static map would be negated when playing this map which would allow for a fairer first person shooter experience. A possible way to implement this would be to allow the map to change in areas which are uninhabited for a period of time.

       Not sure if preventing players from improving by learning would make the game popular, but an attractive idea for its own, aesthetic sake. [+] for that, and for reminding me of "The Men Return," a classic Jack Vance story which confronts its protagonist with a similarly irrational landscape.

       "Time Fighters". A game wherin time passes extremely quickly, but only to the player; so as they run around, natural causes make mountains form, rivers meander, and continents drift visibly.

Why should you need to explain, z_t? It's a game. So the rules are whatever the game designer says they are.

       //Such a game would have to be set within a world/environment in which this unusual behaviour was normal //   

       This could work out very well, in a game with a fantasy setting instead of sci-fi. You would expect the terrain of Fairyland to change, right? [+]
