Topic: New Mode Questions

What sort of things can be incorporated into new modes:

1. Is the game set at 2 teams or can you have more, or even free-for-all?

2. Is it possible to do an assassination-type mode, where players constantly switch roles?

3. Is it possible to limit access to kits and then re-allow access mid round?

4. Can you get field upgrades/new weapons mid-round by completing objectives?

5. Could CTF be supported?

Re: New Mode Questions

Oh, I can answer this one

1) Free for all is a yes.  more than 2 teams though has never been achieved before
2) yes.  "bounty Hunter mode" springs to mind
3) Sort of.  I discovered a cool way to stop people spawning if they choose a kit we want to limit.  I just haven't figured out a way to tell them why they can't spawn with that kit yet.
4) not in the traditional 2142 way yet.  I'm working on other "unlockesque" type things though using different systems
5) Dunno.  It's been done in other bf2/2142 mods, so I assume so.

Mach10 has made CTF so that should be possible.

Re: New Mode Questions

Re: New Mode Questions

I don't think we want a game mode called CTD...

But for the flag not actually being a flag, I agree. Timesplitters always used a bag, which was fun.
