Don’t get me wrong, I love Stopwatch and think it will be a very viable game mode once some kinks are worked out in DB, and the maps evolve to properly support it, but a base race mode could be fun as well. CTF with a twist!
For those of you not familiar with this map from ET, here is a summary;
Baserace overview
Baserace, an Enemy Territory custom map by Cptn Triscuit. It’s a race, to build your base! Steal Construction Materials from your enemy’s base and secure them at the various ‘Capture Pads’ located in your team’s base. Different capture pads correspond to different base constructions and upgrades. Capture Pads can be used multiple times to upgrade constructions. Additionally, constructions can be ‘synergized’ by completing combinations of other constructions. The first team to complete x number of constructions or have the most completed when the timer runs out wins!
MAP TIPS:
>> Synergy Hint: Level 4 Engineering + Level 2 Spawn = Outpost
>> Synergy Hint: Level 1 Tactical + Level 2 Armory = Covert Weapons
>> Baserace Hint: Avoid Rocketgun fire by traveling in the trenches.
>> Baserace Hint: The Ruined Tower can be scaled with the Wall Jump ability.
>> Baserace Hint: Jump on box tops to avoid triggering the enemy’s underbase alert.
>> Baserace Hint: Plant all your teams landmines before activating the landmine sentry.
>> Baserace Hint: Disguised Covert-Ops can open the enemy’s Supply Chests as well as Teamdoors.
Although a map in ET, why can’t it be an alternative game mode with various maps in Dirty Bomb?
Capture “parts” from the enemy teams base to either enhance the defenses of your own base, or use them to build an alternate, forward spawn to give you an advantage (this could also be destroyed by the other team).
Here is a link to some more details and a short (and low quality) video to give you an idea of how it works (maps would obviously be much better and DB themed).
