Idea for a gamemode : Othor Games

» Wed Jul 21, 2010 6:19 pm

BRINK's unique SMART system allows for a new mode of gameplay that I believe would be very fun. It doesn't have to be HORSE, or what not, but what about a game mode where one player at a time goes, in rotation, and you pick an end goal point, certain kills (on bots) and possibly certain map goal points.

Basically you play HORSE, and for the given actions, you pick a limited time to complete what you would like to do, and what you would like to do can be either certain parkour actions throughout the map, certain goal points, or certain kills, styles of kills, and any combinations you pick.

So, for example on my turn, I would pick a 20 second objective time, and during it, I would go to a high point on a map, and along the way, kill 3 guards, or maybe, do some sort of unique map objective action, like blowing up a door. If I complete it, everyone else gets a turn to do the same. If they cannot, give them a letter.

This is just off the top of my head, so any ideas would be great to talk about, and any flaming, well, lets just keep that to a minimum please, it hurts my feelings.

Actually, you could even have all the attempts run concurrently.

I see what you're saying but I would probably be the last one to play this mode. It just doesn't fit my style. I wonder what the Heavies think...

I saw this thread and thought you was suggesting that Paul Wedgwood have his crew design a special character IN HONOR of the Holy H0RSE (blessed be the hooves) and I was completely behind that. If I saw people playing "horse" on my server I'd probably mow them down with my minigun immediately and laugh as wraith ran over to stab their prone bodies.

(One time I was playing online with H0RSE and I thought he had left me behind. And he slowly backed up on an ATV to give me a ride to the next location. I felt like Jesus was letting me hitch a ride on his donkey.)

It sounds like your heavy combo where you sat on the back of HORSE while fighting the enemies together

nice thought, but no sorry. This is kind of a goof-off mode, and the game isn't meant to be completely laughable.

Well there is a challenge mode which might have something similar to what you are thinking.

Well considering the game mode not only does not exist, but does not even have a cohesive description, I find myself hard pressed to describe the mode as "goof-off" or anything else for that matter. Thank you for your, informative, and constructive post, internet forums always welcome posts and users with your demeanour.

It sounds like a mode some guys would make in a custom game of Halo, that would never be taken seriously if officially released.

It's something that hasn't been attempted in the FPS genre to my knowledge. I can only try and imagine what it would be like if actual thought and development went into the idea. Most likely it would not be a huge new game mode, but, I'll take any added value for a game I buy, more diversity, means more game play hours in the long run.

But if it's a gamemode you or nobody else wants to play, what did you really add to the game?

Nobody thought Grifball was gonna be as big as it was and the guys who made it are actually making money from it.
I agree this idea prolly won't catch on.

An alternative instead of horse which is something probably already mentioned is a mode where there's certain objectives to complete and the best time holds a leaderboard position. This is most likely the challenge mode they already have in the game but I want to see the community come out with modded maps and gametypes with the same idea.

Community created content is what keeps games alive.

My spider-sense is tingling! Something doesn't seem right!

Did you get this idea from the halo:reach maps for horse?

Yea, we'd rather just be eating sanvich.

Not been done before , you say ?

What about the race mode in War§ow ?

Get the objective! The first team who has got the objective en bring it to your spawn wins!

That's Capture the flag.

This sounds like glorify the light mode. And as great as the light's movement abilities are. The light fits into a TEAM sooooo... :thumbsdown:

This idea takes away from the spirit of brink. Make a mod on your own time.

That's Capture the flag.

To be more precisely: This is Single-Flag CTF.

(Which, frankly, I prefer over the standard CTF.)
