Right, well i was playing EF(Star trek elite force) expansion in a gameplay mode called "Assimilation" works like this:

1 Borg team
1 Human/federation team.

The borgs supposed to try assimiltion all humans, once a human is assmilated, they become borg.Once all are assimilated the borg team wins.
The federation team are supposed to kill the borg queen to win the match.

I tought about this and i think it whould be a great idea for gen, with some changes:

in gen every class is a "team" the goal is to turn all players into your own class for eg.

Let's say im a slipgater class i see an earth dude i kill him and he is force spawned into my slipgate team he's on my side now.
Once all classes are destroyed, the remaining class is the winner.

This might be impossible to code,  but damn i think this mode whould be quite fun!

Yea it will need 5 teams for all the classes, guess it aint a easy thing to code, but it's worth trying

hmm..we could do like this:
Let all classes have their own "custom" team, we got this nice icons for each class why dont use them on score board/team menu?
Also im not sure what we should set the point limit to, these matches can take some time if the teams are well balanced with skilled players, guess a limit of 4 whould do?

Also i think the FFA score board whould be the best choice, just add "team" to it.

I think that's good. You need to set the time limit, or the "transform into" limit in each team...

But what about the skins/models then? Like, if I am Phobos, and killed by Ranger, then which character of Slipgate I become?

second gametype .

kill the Keen (or imp , or something else )

1 guy enters the game as keen.
all the other guys have to try to kill him. (only way to score points )
the keen gets only 1 gun. his favorite blaster.
(would be like a green doomplasmabal that it shoots but with more time in between.)
he has unlimited shots.

if he can it sombody with his gun. that guys becomes keen and the previous keen becomes 1 of the five classes.





this game would be fun in the way that you all work together to hunt that keenguy down. but actually you work alone to get that point.
1 moment your hunting down keen and next moment ..zap he zaps you with his gun and your the keenguy. ad you have to run.
P.s. keen gets a bit more life then the rest and gets unlimited regeneration.
else hese toast wwaaaay to fast.

yep but this time we hunt down the only trofee not hanging on my wll.
commander keen.  B)


and this time its played by a human  

let the hunt begin

that WOULD be cool foot - except for the fact we cannot use keen for technical and fox-danger reasons. It sounds a lot like catch the chicken to me :]

I don't know if this suggestion has been submitted yet, but it'd be nice to have a place on the server select screen to add servers (so we don't have to keep typing /connect :27000 in the console...is this function being considered? :ph34r:

You could have the model/skin/color settings saved seperate for each class. That way you wouldn't have to change them every time you switch classes.

About the assimilation thing, the one problem with it is, people have no motivation to actualy play for their team once they're assimilated. IE, if you're on a team you like, then you get assimilated, you're more likely to try to TK your new team mates or get in their way to save your old team rather than help your new team. Plus scoring would be tricky, because if the "borg" team's goal is the assimilate everybody, then if they win everybody wins and there's no point in trying not to be assimilated. If your only score victories to original borgs, then new borgs will just become team killers or lamers once they are assimilated. You could continue to award points to assimilated players for their original team, but then the "borg" will want to kill every newly assimilated player so they can't score points for their original team. The only way to do it would be to make everyone become a bot when they are "assimilated" but then you have to wait to come back in the game, which is boring, and it's basically the same as Team DM, except it's just increasingly harder for the losing team as they become outnumbered.

What made 'red-rover' great, was that the odds determined your score per kill, and you also got points for being the 'last remaining blue lad', depending on how long you lasted. Mind you, red-rover was a 1-way conversion match, with the red team only being able to convert blue players (hence the name of the  mod). The combination of fighting the odds, consistent-themed maps, a shitload of very fun powerups and the great commentary -which gave it a futuristic facist game-show feeling- all added to the greatness of the game.

Pho that's excellent! Now i think we ironed out the score points.
Now there's only the part of make this in the reality... i fear this will be an hell to code, but i do believe this game mode will be damn fun!
