game mode idea

[lefantom9]

Have you guys every watched a show on the military channel called Special Ops Mission. Well it would be nice to have a game mode like that except that it is a 4v8 instead of 1v4.

If you don't know what I am talking about here it is:

The seals get infiled somewhere. Then you got the terrorist that have to deffend their base. There is a primary objective which could be to kill the terrorist leader(an AI), destroy a missile cache etc.. Then have a bunch of secondary objectives like destroy the terrorist vehicles(they would not be able to use them), destroy their comms tower(after this is down the mics get shut down only proxy can be used.

Thoughts?

Wow I like the idea of being able to disable the chat... not sure how well that would go over with everyone but interesting idea none the less. I always like the premise of secondary objectives, even if completing them is not a direct requirement to win in any way.

I am unsure about the 4v8 part... is the 8 all player controlled? Do the 4 get some sort of weapons, map positions, or support actions that give them a significant advantage for going into battle outnumbered 2:1?

only bad thing is... who would wanna be on the team with 8 ppl? lol less kills, less action.

well the terrorist would have to have more guys than the seals, but 8v8 could work except the map would have to be bigger. This idea is similar to a lot of other peoples idea but I really like that you could disable their mics.

At CTU... I (we) came up with some new custom ideas and scenarios for each map in Confrontation. When the game was getting stale... we got the idea to invent our own story modes. It was fun designing the stories... and not just playing the same old Demo... Extraction... Control Points and the rest over and over. Some of our members like the scenario ideas... some hard core members didn't. Now things are pretty stale... maybe it's time for Something Completely Different!

We took a map... and designed a scenario or story around each map for (Seals or Mercs) and played out the story until completed and decided which side won the story.

I wrote some detailed stories for a particular map and mode that each side had to adhere to. Some stories worked and some didn't. This required custom scoring in each map story to decide which side had won the match. Writing the stories was fun... keeping the custom scoring right was a challenge. You didn't follow the original map mode exactly... you followed your custom story.

Unfortunately my Custom Story Modes were deleted by accident at our website and are now lost.... it took about 3 weeks to invent all the stories for each map. About 3/4 of our members are retired or current military soldiers and several helped with the scenarios to keep them accurate, real and believable.

Since we are stuck with Confrontation and Cold Front till next year... maybe we should be creative and come up with Custom Story Modes of our own to play till Socom4 gets here.... whenever that is. Or... just keep playing Demo and the other modes over and over till we go insane.....

Food for thought....

that is defineitly a interesting idea. Taking out a communication tower (secondary objective) to now the only communication that can be used by the enemy is proxy chat. Hmmmm....I like it.
