so we know a 15 players game mod is on the way
it will probably be a king of the hill /capture the flag/ battleroyal/ insert any lazy possible game mode
but i still have hope we are going to get something really original
Since a long time i had an idea of a 7v7v1 but it was not possible because there was not enough player /maps to make it possible but thanks to the free week on the PSN we finaly have a good amount of player
my Idea is 2 team of fireteam fighting each other for an objectives they must find and then extract to win. (it would be like those mission where you need to protect something while the chopper is coming to extract it. the team who got eh objectives must def it until it get extracted.)
the objectives would work like the secondary objectives it wont be on the map at the start to prevent a team to find him with luck . To find where the objectives is each team must find clues that spawn in differents place around the map (mostly in guerillero’s base) each clues will reduce the area where the objetives is until a certain point where you will have to look for it in this area (the objectives will certainly be camouflaged with foliage and that sort of thing to prevent it from being spotted from a distance) But to make it more difficult the Ai should be more numerous and probably more deadly (like only mercenary and all the strongest ai) .The reason for doing this is to make it risky to attack a base for clues . you don’t want to get ambushed and attacked in the back by the ennemy team when you are facing the AI .Being effecticient and use silencers would have a utility in this game mod you don’t want the alarm to ring (because it would bring alot of ai and it reveal your position)
Teamwork would have a real flavor in a games mod like this . Each class would have new utility . A ranger can play as a lone wolf with his sniper and keep an eyes on his team from afar and try to spot the ennemy team , find a better position to turn the tide of a fight or just to spot and give info to his team. Scout thanks to their hight mobility can also play as a lone wolf to flank the ennemy team , find and kill those pesky sniper and all that kind of stuff that require to be fast and sneaky . A suport would be super usefull for his team thanks to all the supply he can carry his tankiness and his ability to revive faster . If you get downed you are not instantly dead just like in clash but you are downed just like in hunt and you must get some help from your team before the ennemy team finish you.
some gear would also find new utility .Smoke are not really usefull right (and they can even be a fucking problem against the predator) but you are facing other human and in that case it’s usefull . The ennemy team has a better position and his gunning you down, you need to revive a mate but it’s dangerous ? Throw a smoke to cut the line of sight ! the flashbang would also become much more usefull in a game mod like this , same for the grenade you need to force the ennemy team to leave a position for for whatever reason ? Throw a grenade they will move (it also work well for the grenade launcher). The auto-revive is often pointless but if you play a lone wolf , you face someone and you both down each other ,well with the auto-revive it’s not over for you.
With have quite a good amount of map right now and they are really good and unique (and big enough for a game like this) .With the adition of night map it’s even better. It would be super interesting to compete against an other team on all the map and not just in small part like in clash. It would be super interesting to setup ambush in the jungle .It would add an oppressive atmosphere you do not know where the opposing team is and you must advance carefully (and not run in the middle of the road) while being attentive to the surroundings.
both team would have a respawn point (and they are at the start both aware of their own respawn point) so if you see your team is getting wiped by the ennemy team you can try to run away to call for the reinforcement (it also give a new possibility to ranger and scout to either go for reinforcement beause they are faster and usualy not grouped or to catch those who run away to call for reinfocement).If a team get wiped it’s not over for them .When a team get wiped there is timer before they all respawn but it’s big enough to give a chance to the ennemy team to take the upperhand (i don’t know if you should only be able to respawn only one time or more)
The predator would be the disruptive element he is there for his own pleasure and will undermine your plan and your efforts .His only goal is to hunt .It is in their interest to be very careful and to get mud regularly if you are a lone wolf . The important part is that the predator is not the main threat and you care more about the ennemy team than him so , you are not actually looking for him like you would on the other game mod.
actualy clash is the game mod with the least waiting time while it need 2 more player than hunt and you are usually only going to play a fireteam .So i’m pretty sure a game mod like this would please the community because it’s some pvp between fireteam (but on a greater scale and its gameplay is more deep than clash) and also with a predator
