IF pixonic WERE TO implement game modes, what would you prefer?
inb4: SALTY YOU FORGOT THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE
hey look, I tried.
Classic: what we have now
Deathmatch: only kill, no beacons
Capture the flag: take a guess, genius
Campaign: kinda like chess against an AI, the AI's bots don't respawn.
Knockout: no respawns
4v4: only home and central beacons (3 total)
10v10: idk how they'd do this, but 2 extra beacons (7 total); expect lag

What about "beacon spawn" aka the test server version?

What about 1v1 or 2v2? Keep the 5 beacons.
I think everybody would go for quick bots.

Other: Attack/Defend
Would require new maps.
One team gets 20-30 seconds to take positions around 2-3 beacons at tactical choke points on maps while blue team is locked off in a walled spawn. After the initial timer runs out, the attacking team has to leave spawn and cap the beacons in sequence from Attack spawn to defender spawn. Attacking team wins if all beacons get capped, defending team wins if timer reaches Zero.
Positioning is key for the defenders, Roll-out formations are key for attackers. I feel as though this game mode would breathe new life into specialized bots and bullet weapons (covering fire). Also, it would be hilarious to see the first Test serv/live serv games have attackers try an all Rhino/galahad Rollout and walk into a wall of Rockets.

I'm tempted to change Salty's forum title to "Stats Guy"

Played current version yesterday!!
I had battles where sometime beacon would not turn for 15-20 secs. Yesterday they never turned! My 1st bot died circling the beacon. That was about a minute into battle. Then just played like Dmatch! It was awesome not to have to worry about beacon/timer. It was an error bc we had 2 blues w me after finishing reds & nothing happened, waited for another min & left the game.

Erm pixonic said previously on their FB page that they're never going to consider game modes due to matchmaking haywiredness. I'm going to lock the poll.

Clan squad vs clan squad... no MM just bring the best and let rankings fall where they fall.

Welp if you can do that, can you change my name colour to white (as per salt)? |

You got a custom title, an improved custom title, another custom title, and then ANOTHER improved title, but you want the color changed, too? I suppose the reality is that you don't get anything if you don't ask, but sheesh!  |
