Could symmetric game mode work in DB?

(TheStrangerous) #1

Just a shower thoughts.

So far it’s asymmetrical attack/defense with various kinds of objectives But what about symmetric style? Considering this is a team based shooter.

Have devs considered it once, but made a statement or something?

I think it would be rather boring design-wise
Besides, considering that in this game one team always attacks, while the other always defends, it wouldn’t work as it did in TF2, where both teams have to attack on that kind of maps (CP and CTF)

Symmetric maps on objective wouldn’t mean balance though, since defending would be easier than attacking.

You’d need both teams to have the same goal in mind for symmetric maps to work, like CTF for example… or a MOBA where both teams would be fighting to destroy the other’s base. So it would be both attack and defense for both teams at the same time.

Not to mention somewhat lore breaking. DB is cartoony, but it does take place in actual environments, each tell their own story. Anything symmetrical would be a lot harder to keep the Jackal vs CDA feel.

KOTH

Gimme Headquarters from COD, where capturing stops your spawn waves, and you have to hold it out as long as possible.

That would be AMAZING, I’d be addicted to that mode.

I think it would work but I don’t know that it would be more compelling than the standard gameplay. It would be an interesting diversion for a while but then it would just be splitting off a portion of the playerbase. I’d probably still enjoy a KOTH or CTF, though.

A Moba/Titanfall like mode would be fun, with a massive swarm of AI weak mercs swarming objectives or a pve horde wave mode.

Anything without a respawn limit.

Interesting idea…MW2 HQ was a blast I agree.

Now turn those execution maps to that ! Pure profit ! ^^
