Thunder (default) - Proxy (shotgun, no mines) - Sawbonez (Pistol only, medpack) - Fragger (nades only) - etc
and do not make it 1 kill - upgrade.
make it 300 damage/3kills - upgrade

Not interesting at all

Please NO! The 100 modes is what ruined ET. It split the community into tiny little groups. I wanted to keep playing so much but the only modes with people were shrub, etpub and jaymod; plus then these server owners started adding random crap that you need to download and it made the game ugly.

Dunno when you played W:ET, but I played it for five years without suffering (much) from the problems you described. There were big communities on the major mods, while the pubmods did not differ that much from each other anyway. If the game died after that, perhaps it is because of the mods, but without the mods I’m pretty sure W:ET wouldn’t have made it that far to begin with. Vanilla W:ET didn’t offer the best experience.

Regarding downloading crappy skins and customization, you just had to play with autodownload disabled, which meant you manually had to install new maps released on your favorite servers. Mods like ETPub and shrubet were server side only so you did not have to download any client files. Mods like etpro were never updated so you didn’t have to download anything for that either.

Gun game is basically TDM with a twist. I find it pretty interesting. Its just a casual game mode like tdm though without objectives so wouldn’t fit DB without making alterations.

It would be a cool idea for a merc though. An engineer that starts off with a rubbish gun but then constantly finds upgrades and modifications when he picks up stuff from dead opponents. After five or six scavenges he walks around with a BFG.

“Merc Mode”
Makes sense to be included since there are many people who like that game mode. (although I don’t like it myself)
But from a business model point of view SD will have to decide whether to allow that game mode from the start or only after a player has reached a certain level.
Because “Merc Mode” would allow new players to play with mercs not available to them. SD would have to research if that would encourage or discourage new players to spend money. (I assume players will be able to unlock mercs using real money, when DB launches)

Which reminds me,
SD must have data on which mercs get used the most, perhaps those should be put to the end of the unlock ‘ladder’ (unlocked last). I think Fletcher (not sure) was at the end, but does he get used that much?
Good/deadly players (most of the users in this forum) don’t have a problem unlocking all the mercs, since experience gained is based on skill. And I reckon ‘normal’ players being “pwnd” by mercs not yet available to them would either encourage them to spend some money or at least to stick around and play some more.

Sounds good when you hear it but it probably wouldn’t work that well in a fast paced game like DB, where you’re likely to die frequently (well, depending on skill and luck) and therefore lose the upgrades and always respawn with a crap gun.
I can see it being a tad frustrating

I must say I’d love it to be possible to pick up dead players’ weapons, as it happens in many other games.

Heroes of the storm rotates free heroes by week. So for DB that could be each week having a two or three locked mercs be available to try.

Also each hero has a ‘try before you buy’ option where you get to take the hero on one test match.

Off topic: can’t watch your videos where you add blur and tweak the colours. Content might be good but it just compels me to switch to another video. No hating, it’s just a personal preference.

I played arms race in CS:GO for the first time and I only like the map safe house. Its just a cluster! After a few hours of playing I think I am done with this mode. Its lotto! You can go 30 and 20 and that is consider epic!

Pass

Stick with SW and OLTL and Fix OBJ mode

SW/Obj isn’t enough. Round based gameplay is already in DB, but needs a focus test. frags feel more rewarding knowing they wont respawn in 10 seconds

Arms race isn’t really gun game done well imo. The good gun game modes, imho, are actually in COD and CSS. Which is weird right? COD has a better gun game mode than CSGO because its FFA. I haven’t played it in years so I don’t know anything about current COD games. And CSS has it better because it was made by the community with community maps designed for it to work well that are simply better than the ones in CSGO. I can’t say for CSGO’s own community made maps though since I never really got into them.

Also a big difference between gun game and arms race is that gun game is round based, 1 life per round. CSGO tries and fails to use respawns instead of round based. That is probably even a bigger deal than the maps.
