well for our upcoming shooter we're looking for an interesting gametype so i'd like if you guys could list your favorite gametypes or any ideas you have on this:

we all know the standards:
deathmatch
capture the flag
king of the hill, so on and so forth

we do have very unique modes, but lets just see what the community can come up with:

!all gametypes you suggest should be multiplayer based!

vehicle ctf?

also there is a fun game mode i tried to realize in gamestudio like 2 years ago it's called Touch Down(TD).
In TD there is a ball/orb/flag in the middle of the map *only one ball/flag*.
And team has bases in opposite sides of the map. also both teams has a goal. When someone touches the ball he picks it up, if he dies he drops the ball. Aim is to pick the ball and get in to the other teams goal alive with the flag. When you do that you score.

Goals and spawn points/bases are not always the same place, but goals generally close to spwan points.

Also weapon restricted modes could be fun.(sniper only,pistol only,melee only etc.)

the most gametype i like is capture the flag

yes we have this but its simply a single flag variant of capture the flag

then its like catch the flag and run to your checkpoint??

I have read about gametype in a book:
You are on a web and have to throw your enemys down of the web. This would be nice with melee, but with ranged weapons I don't know how to make this.

I think WoW has also some nice ideas which you can use for multiplayer, just look on the website
( http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/battlegrounds/index.html this is the part about battlegrounds which you propably use in a Shooter Game)

Muffel

well.. it could be alot of things, depending on the options you choose, could be:

-take one flag and bring it to your base
-just one flag, and the team that owns it has to defend
-multiple flags and whoever scores the most wins

we'll have alot of options

what i was saying was take one flag and bring it to enemy base

i cam assure you that we'll have a similar mode... there are modes i also cant discuss here, but anyone else has any ideas?

Onslaught from UT2004.

Most fun mode I've played.

The gamemode also works without vehicles.
It could be substituted by unlockable turrets etc.
(to simplify that)

Although using a flying ship is realively easy to implement,
compared to ground vehicles.
