So now that we all have a stack of shiny new mechs to play with, I'm thinkin' we now really need some new places to play. While a new map or two (or three, or four, or five) would be most welcome, that's not really the subject of this post.

How about a new game mode? I've been thinking of a mode that I call Domination. The good thing is that it makes use of elements already in the game so it might not be too difficult to get it up and running.

Domination is a blend of Conquest and Assault. Like Conquest, teams must capture and hold bases. But now the bases are supplemented with defenses in the form of turrets.

• The turrets are dormant when the bases are neutral.
  
• When captured, they power up and work for the controlling side.
  
• If the base is captured by the opposing side (assuming they aren't eliminated) the turrets also change sides. If a base is reset to neutral, the turrets revert to a dormant state.

Of course, I have no way to model this but I think each base should have 2 turrets. I also think that the cap/decap rate on bases should be faster in this mode. This will encourage players to salvage the turrets for their own use, rather than eliminating them. Bonus points may be awarded for every active turret under team control.


I also expect this will work better on the larger maps.

Please note that my ideas about Domination mode are just that; ideas. Hopefully, they might spur others, with better game-design skills, to build on this structure or suggest better modes.

I agree, time to grab some low hanging fruit to add some new content.

[Johnny Flyswatter]

Agreed - just coming back after a long hiatus due to lack of content - let's get something like this rolling!

[ArwdAssassin]

yes I would love this. If they can't give use a new map then they need to do something like this. Guess they can't figure out how to make golden maps yet.....

[CrAsHeR]

Just make sure the turrets can't target us from the other side of the map please.

What a cool idea!

That got me to thinking. Maybe not all turrets need be directly offensive. NARC/TAG turrets, for example. But also:

• AMS Turrets
  
• ECM Turrets
  
• Seismic Sensor Turrets
  
• UAV Turrets
  
• Strike Turrets, anyone?

I would go on, but I fear I may have contracted Turret's Syndrome.

PGI, why didn't you go with this idea, instead?!

I know I've been asking for new modes, screaming for them, begging for them, and so have many others, but I chose Domination every single time I went into a drop today, and never got it until my last game of the evening. I now see WHY no one wanted to play it. This is the dumbest damn game mode you could have possibly come up with! This is the most useless BS I've seen come out of you in a while. You have completely gone off the deep end this time, PGI. What in the hell is wrong with you?!?!

Pull your head out of your fourth point of contact and start using what's between your ears!!!

You continue to ignore us, PGI, you continue to **** off and provide crap no one wants. You continue to tell us, your community, that we actually mean jack **** to you. Thanks a lot.
