What about search and destroy

#1

4V4

One side is defense

One side is offense

4 rounds to a win

Every team has 3 soldiers and one Pred

Every round Pred swaps around to a new player

Only soldiers can plant the bomb

If all soldiers are dead the Pred has to go for a win by elimination

Purpose of this mode is to allow Pred players a quick matchmaking option to play as Pred (with the trade off that they have to play FT, only way to get quick Pred matchmaking right now)

Also a more competitive mode for competitive people and those tired of the balance since the mode is inherently more balanced by having symmetrical teams.

Obviously we all want a 2V8 mode

But we already have people advocating for that and if Illfonic is not going to make it now, me suggesting this mode (which is more along Illfonics lines I.E clash) isn’t going to get in the way of that.

So would this mode be better than nothing or would it be a waste of time?

I’d prefer a twist on hunt myself where they add a crashed predator ship to every map and the predator has to collect the tech and destroy the evidence before FT who can also take it

I think illfonic has a new mode in mind and hopefully it’ll be ready for next update. Good chance we won’t like it, but it’s going to be something.

I think this idea has potential tho. Would FT on FT damage be as high as in clash? Clash had a potential for some FT and PRED tactics/setups, but they were never realized because the TTK is very high and it’s just a fast paced mess. I’d like to see a more methodical and slow paced approach.

You’d have to elaborate more on this. Pred is one dude trying to do many objs. FT would have a clear advantage since they can split up into teams. Also it sounds very straight forward. There has to be twist somewhere. It feels like it’s either going to be too easy for the pred or for the FT.

Old and fuzzy but I swore counterstrike did it first.

Wouldn’t the preds mobility make it one sided?

It’s essentially a race right?

#13

K Predator has to destroy the tech/kill FT

FT has to retrieve it

Pred plants a bomb on a timer that can be defused allowing for FT to still have a chance at collecting the tech

Is it all or nothing for FT? If PRED destroys one piece if tech, does FT automatically lose?

Good proposed adjustments 👆

#15

No if FT gets anything they win just the more you can get the better your score will be

PRED has to be quite overpowering then. Considetong current balance, FT would win most of the time.

Perhaps extraction chopper arrives only after FT has retrieved at least 3 of the four caches. They can choose up go for the 4th one as an option.

Maybe PRED can also retrieve the stolen pieces of tech by claiming FT who picked it up.

I’d like for you to draw up a more thorough outline of the mode so it’s easier to see where adjustments need to be made in order yo give it some balance. Not sure if it’s worth it tho, cause you know what illfonic will do…nothing

4v4 preds only no fireteam then ok

#18

I’d they did the batman Arkham knight multiplayer, 4 v 4 with respawns, 2 Predators competing against eachother for claims or kills.

Imo that would be fucking wild fun.

Can even do it with elims and do it round based.

Quickplay with rounds could be a good idea in general. May shorten Q times.
