Aside from CTF, what other game times would you like to see in BF2?

[Vasquez]

There's a good chance there's already been a thread like this, but what the hell. Personally, I'd like to see some more objective-based stuff, perhaps along the lines of:

1) Single flag for one side to defend, another to attack and capture in an all-out onslaught, ala D-Day in MOHAA (I liked the way it was done in MOHAA as opposed to BF1942... was more fun IMHO).

2) Protection. One member of each team is randomly selected as "an important dignatory", each round. Each team must protect that one guy on their respective team. If he dies, it's game over. Could be quite interesting as you split the force in to a protectorate and an assassination squad(s). The "dignatory" would have a weapon or two as a last ditch attempt to protect himself.

3) Assault with prisoners. Would be a bit like conquest/assault as it is now, however at one base for each team is a "jail". When you shoot someone (and they're not killed, e.g: medic-revivable), you can put them in the jail. Your team can release their other teammembers by jail-breaking the building.

4) Hostages. Each team has a set number of AI-controlled civilian hostages. Other team must break the building(s) that they're in and rescue hostages and take them to a dust-off point. If hostage dies, they get returned back to the base they were originally. First team to fly out all the hostages, wins.


Thoughts, flames, other ideas?

A coop mode for LAN games.

I would rather than spent there time on making new maps than bringing out different game types. I think the current gametype is perfect.

What other game times? Don't you mean what other game types?

Yes, I do.
Bit of a typo there. I blame my keyboard.

King Of The Hill.


Or an actual mission, like grab document X and get to point Y etc etc.

it would be good to see an infantry only centered type, so that you can fight using only infantry, i reakon that would be good to try

1) Single flag for one side to defend, another to attack and capture in an all-out onslaught, ala D-Day in MOHAA (I liked the way it was done in MOHAA as opposed to BF1942... was more fun IMHO).

Sounds interesting, but could be a little one sided if the defenders get too many good players. One of my favorite maps to play was the omaha beach on DOD (cant remember name, I think it was charlie) because it felt so good to be able to storm such a huge defense. If they could mimic something like that while being able to keep it from getting out of hand I'm all for it.

2) Protection. One member of each team is randomly selected as "an important dignatory", each round. Each team must protect that one guy on their respective team. If he dies, it's game over. Could be quite interesting as you split the force in to a protectorate and an assassination squad(s). The "dignatory" would have a weapon or two as a last ditch attempt to protect himself.

I could have sworn that another game had this game play. I cant remember though. It was something like that person got a pistol, and double armor and had to survive. Not my style of game though.

3) Assault with prisoners. Would be a bit like conquest/assault as it is now, however at one base for each team is a "jail". When you shoot someone (and they're not killed, e.g: medic-revivable), you can put them in the jail. Your team can release their other teammembers by jail-breaking the building.

its Freeze tag, a la BF2. Sounds like it could be good, although one of the reason I like BF2 over CS is that I dont have to wait for rounds to be over. I die, a lot, and I like not having to wait for the round to be over, only have to wait 15 seconds.

4) Hostages. Each team has a set number of AI-controlled civilian hostages. Other team must break the building(s) that they're in and rescue hostages and take them to a dust-off point. If hostage dies, they get returned back to the base they were originally. First team to fly out all the hostages, wins.

You mean CS? Never was a big fan of the hostage maps. You finally make it to the hostages, grab them, and end up having a 4 person long sign that says "Shoot HERE <---" in bright orange jumpsuits.

Overall, if they are going to make some new game type, I think that they should come up with some new stuff rather than rehash the old stuff. I also want them to get with the program and make a proper coop mode for LAN's. There are mods out there that do it, but they dont have proper way points plugged in for the expanded maps. The bots get hung up on everything.
