I have heard Pixonic is trying a Game Mode in the test server, where there are no beacons. As fun as that sounds it seems it would be better if they instead had just one central beacon. Obviously the speed the bars drain with would have to be adjusted but it seems like it could work. It would still mean the game would mean a focus on killing enemy bots and less focus on quick bots running for beacons. Another possible idea is two beacons one on each teams side and the first team to capture the opponents home beacon wins. That means the only real chance of winning before the clock ends is to kill off all the enemies of the opposing side. Anyone else think these are could work? Anyone think there good ideas?

They're busy testing a new game mode on the live servers.
It's called "The Black Market"
initial reports indicate it to be wildly successful at generating revenue.

I'm all for new game modes to keep the game fresh and interesting. I think a regular, old school, no team, no beacon, every man for themselves, deathmatch would be cool. A TDM would be cool too like what it seems you were describing at the beginning of your post.
THE PROBLEM IS, by creating new modes, they are going to diversify the meta. Look what BR, has done to Dom. Now, Dom is practically all snipers and campers.
On top of splitting up the meta, having more than 2 modes may not be sustainable. Think about what it could do to the MM. if you split up all the the players who are playing at any given time, into 3 or more modes, everyone is either going to be waiting 60 seconds or more for a game, or to avoid this problem, the MM will be even worse. It will try to find enough players that are on at the same time, playing the same mode, that hit the "start game" button around the same time. In order to do this it may have to reach deeper in to the leagues to find enough players or it just won't work.
I could be wrong but that doesn't happen often ?
