More Game-Mod's

[SoldatFire]

Ok my idea is that there should be added some new game mods like:

Domination:
It's pretty simple there are some flags that are neutral(at start of round) and the team that touches it and hold for 10 second get 1 point(That are static flags so its something like "domination points" and they can be re-captured by opposite  team ).. and there are more flags like 4-5 on a map (everywhere but it should look symmetrical for the balance) and fore more captured flags you get more points at end...

Soldat doesn't need 1000 gamemodes to have diversity and/or to make people addicted to it. There are a lot of good examples of games which work with one or two modes. The best example is League of Legends which has a 5v5 and a 3v3 mode. Right, I just compared a 3D-DotA-like RPG to a 2D-sidescroller-shooter, but I hope you still get the point.

All what Soldat needs right now is a growing community and active development. Soldat is developed by a team of devs, so all left for the community is spreading the word about the most epic sidescroller of all times.

go to Bombski's multimode server. there vote !dd. (assuming the vote passed) TADA! you are playing the gamemode you described.
No, many of ideas popping to your head are scriptable. All just haven't been done (my thoughts: i'd like to see a soldat version of quarantine regen and Search & destroy).

I do not think the game should have more gamemodes, but to be more versatile. Accept the addition of weapons, scripts, flags, well differentiated positions without crashing and lots of bugs.

No need to create a CS R / S / A, as scripts and plans we already did that one was great, for example.

Wait what you want Zombie Soldat x_X thats sick and dumb...

@Tekidek i dont understand you even a bit But a CS mod would be awesome like with money and that but that mod got changed weapon ini so that the weapons arent balanced that much and can be priced...

[STM1993]

Scripts can make lots of varied game modes and they usually aren't played by many, which is why I don't see a need to add new game modes.

The most popular game modes in any shooting game that has a CTF game mode is always CTF. The rest are all extras that aren't played as much. So unless the new game mode suggested is indeed a popular one, there is no reason to make it official.

[Tekidek]

@ STM1993 is right. That is what i tried to say 

[zyxstand]

i actually made this script a long time ago.  maybe you can still find it here under "territorial take over" - i didn't want to call it domination.  i was gonna remake it (improve it) for the new version, but i was counting on a new scripting feature that was cancelled so i'll just remake the old one if people like it.  the only problem with the game mode is that it needs a many people to be fun... (like at least 6).

should i remake?

Some of those gamemodes are really fun actually. I don't understand why are they always empty. My guess is that because they're mixed in with normal servers and are hard to find when they're needed (and get in the way when they're not). If that's the case - then it comes down to just improving lobby filters.

I agree that Soldat doesn't need a crapton of new ones (we already have some that are never even played), but I think at some point it's worth adding a checkpoint-based gamemode like Domination. It's completely different from what Soldat already has, and has proven to be very fun in many other games.

Yeah like i said 

[GhostRiderSwiss]

the only new game-mode idea which i have in the mind and which should be defenetly added once is -

a Solo + Coop (offline and online) campaign! we already have a preview of this how it could look Nordic Mission 2 Beta Server is runing the mod mm which u start on Black flag (grab it ) and escape to the white flag its like inf but infiltration is shit against this^^
think about it! it would be finaly a "Bigger" new feature for soldat

[SoldatFire]

i simply dont understand why are you so holding back with new ideas near everything that gets added to soldat will only make it better and the
Domination game-mod would be awesome for TW

and be real who plays:
HTF near no-one
Pointmach near no-one
Rambomach Few players
INF-not much
TDM-averge
Dm-averge
CTF-OMG every server 
And cause of that there should be added this game mod for balance

@SoldatFire:
I want to add numbers to your post:

Gamemode	Servers	Players	Percent Servers	Percent Players	Player to Server Ratio
Pointmatch	1	1	0.3	0.2	1.00
Hold the Flag	4	1	1.2	0.2	0.25
Rambomatch	4	1	1.2	0.2	0.25
Infiltration	9	32	2.7	7.1	3.56
Deathmatch	59	48	17.6	10.6	0.81
Team Deathmatch	31	112	9.3	24.8	3.61
Capture the Flag	227	256	67.6	56.8	1.13
Total	335	451	100	100	1.35

That is just an approximation for this moment in time (14:07 15 March 2011 EDT). I'm sure this varies throughout time of day (maybe somebody could make a quick app and do it over the period of a day or a few, and every so often updating the data).

I'm sure all these modes are pretty darn fun, its just nobody plays them. And also, I prefer realistic over non-realistic server for non-custom gamemodes, so it makes a rambo match (for example) harder to find a game to play (unless I arrange it with some people or something).

@DorkeyDear
Yeah i said if even without that stats so domination game mod would be awesome

Well to be completely honest, I'm all for anything that might revive this game, but this will just further shrink its community.
If you haven't noticed, the more game modes and scripted sub modes you see, the more isolated the minorities (Said servers' communities) and the less chance of people wanting to stay.

Yes.

[SoldatFire]

yes.... what ever that means

[demoniac93]

yes.... what ever that means

What it means is, go look at the lobby, you see circa 300 servers that aren't a complete f**k-up, but only see 1-2 players in 50 of them, and about 10-20 full servers which are modded beyond my grasp and yours.

[Shoozza]

I don't think adding more game modes is a good idea.

As DorkeyDear showed us already the other game modes are a lot less popular and adding new ones will further reduce the amount of players in these game modes.

[Monsteri]

Another change is to delete others, and add others. Like delete something and add TW.
