Alright, here's my idea for Assault game mode. It's quite simple: the start locations for both teams are randomized, meaning each team can start at any of the five points represented by Conquest game mode.

Your team spawns there and the cap point spawns there as well. Neither team knows where the other starts (no big red marker for the cap point until scouts actually scout it out) and they have to react to battlefield conditions.

Potentially, teams could start next to each other (i.e. one at 'theta' one at 'kappa') leading to a match with no time to set up. This would make the "set up in center" tactic less of a go to idea and would make speed a more important element in Assault.

It is my opinion this would lead to greater variety within the Assault game mode and would open up some role warfare as scouting would actually become essential to not being surprised and overwhelmed.

What do you think?

And if both teams start away from their baes, won't it just be a cap race?

The base would move with the team. It spawns where you spawn. And the red marker denoting location doesn't exist until you find out where the base node spawned by scouting it.

I like it.

YES!! Imagine the Maelstrom on Forest Colony if one team dropped at gamma and the other espilon! It would be GLORIOUS!

Also, make a THIRD point as represented by Conquest but not one of the other two drop points as a RANDOM King of the Hill single point capture! AND make it so nothing shows up on the map so it'll have to be scouted...

All random, all luck of the draw.

I would donate blood and other bodily fluids on a regular basis to send PGI money if they did this......

Hooray for Maelstrom!
