Your favourite non-objective game mode

[MrFunkyFunk]

I would love CTF & KOTH modes.
Q3 (ie FT), UT, SM (jailbreak idd!) & some HL mods have really fun game modes. It’s often far less played than the main ones but it can be a welcome break and it can really thrive from a open modding community.

I also have in mind TF2 Payload Race game type. Current EV mechanic is terrible, but if it gets improved (with for instance a faster default speed and also a speed based on surrounding players), it could be a fun mode imho. In TF2 both teams have a wagon cart to escort (starting points a few meters away from each other or at an opposed direction symetrycal map), of course the goal is to reach the finish line first but you can do it so by gluing around your cart to increase its speed and/or by killing the enemy cart escorters, stopping them from making any progress.

The twist in DB is that you could destroy the enemy EV, forcing its team to repair it and losing ground doing so.
If maps are well designed it could be fun (EV start points at opposite sides of an avenue / course progressions on different streets separated by open buildings / courses crossing each others at hotspots / etc).

Jailbreak too - I spent many hours playing that.

Hell yeah, awesome mode to have tbh.

Survival sounds good on paper but it usually comes down to the dominant team clumping up around the bottlenecks (cue map design here) to wear down the ammo/hp of the enemy. Might work with some polishing, but TDM always works for a fast fragfest so my vote goes there.

It could lend itself quite well to class play. Engineers can blow the jail bars to free teammates, or build them again. Only gibbed players get sent to jail.

I would prefer CTF tbh or a football mode like UT2K3 had (suck the ball with the gun and you could pass it to other teams mates then shoot it into a warpgate lookin thing). That was a lot of fun.

Bombing Run is a lot of fun, but doesn’t really fit with DB for me.

You should checkout Epigenesis (http://deadsharktriplepunch.com/epigenesis/)!

In DB everyone could be a medic, there’s no healthpack drops but they can be littered around the map and also there’s no gibbing, when you’re killed you’re incapped until revived… first team to be fully incapped loses the round.

+1
I like the sound of this a lot!

That was indeed awesome

Thought you guys hated not being able to shoot while carrying the objective. BR especially stood out in it’s excellent maps. Beautiful works of tactical art.

[QUOTE=tokamak;447543]As I explained in the part you didn’t quote. Those are objective game modes. We’ll do a separate poll on that when I’m confident that I can name all the ones that people would like to see.

Rarely played when? In what game? Or do you mean all shooters in total? Team Survival is the main mode of Counterstrike, fairly popular in COD and immensely popular in TF2.[/QUOTE]

Rarely played in the games I have played that have those particular game modes. Search and destroy is the main mode of Counterstrike and Call of Duty, competition-wise. I wasn’t even aware that TF2 had a last team standing or last man standing mode…

In any case I PERSONNALLY find those modes to be very boring/uninteresting and wouldn’t be bothered playing either of them if they were implemented into DB.

CS and COD don’t have LTS or even LMS excluding mods. I think the closest COD comes to LMS is a mode called 1 in the chamber where you have 3 lifes, 1 bullet + pistol, 1hk, ffa, and each kill earns a bullet. But that wasn’t even a core game mode.
