BF2S Forums New Game Modes?

Sounds like a great idea to mix things up.  I started with CS so objective based maps would be kool!

YES to more game modes

NO to anything resembling CS.

get creative!
how about helo racing, through hoops placed midair?

greatest game mode ever:  capture the flag   like in Operation flashpoint

I like CTF....Tribes was wonderful for that mode of gameplay...too bad not many games make use of it anymore.

I'm not a big fan of Deathmatch nor CTF however would enjoy a connected Supply Line capture mode. One in which you have to capture one flag point before you can capture another flag point. This created choke points and very heated battles over strategic locations. For those that have played UT2004 this is the mode I am wanting for BF2.

Remember the old Battle of Britain?

Learn something from that map

You could have a No Fly Zone map
and
You can have a demolitions map where 1 team has to destroy a target of the other's

You know, I bet they planned on making other modes of play but got rushed in the production and just put it out with several conquest modes.  I mean, why not just call them Assault or Head on.  Why add the Conquest: before it?

How about you let bf2 be a seperate game from all the rest? You are all trying to make it like other games you like, so go play those. Just deal with that there is..Make the game into your own game mode, ie. Ctf...go around seeing how many flags you can capture yourself; for the counter strike one, be MEC on say karkand or any other map, and try and destroy their artillery UAV and radar.


Make the game work for you

bf2 has the potential for completely different gamemodes than the standard dm/tdm/ctf. we should be trying to come up with innovative things instead of asking for the same crap we've all played a million times already. some mod makers are doing this, but vanilla bf2 should have had at least one alternative to conquest.

i would have liked to see the RTS side of the game get fleshed out more. a more involved resource system, perhaps.

2 Gamemodes i would love and I seriously think they should consider implementing have already been mentioned, and they are.

1. Assault (from UT), would work great in a more realistic setting, like BF2 compared to UT. And they are also alot of fun, makes for some insanely intense combat around the objectives. And not just some people sneaking away from the action to capture a flag, miles away from the fighting.

2. Onslaught (UT2004). Making the flags to be cappeable in a specific order. More routes to take of course, or even server customizable (like UT2004), would also prevent people from just driver to the furthest back of the map and take a flag no one was anyway near.

I think both these modes would be fun in BF2, I see them fitting in pretty well.

racing with DPV's would be cool...

or some cap the flag Halo 2 style....

or a "tag" style game where two guys that are "it" are in an attack chopper

All modes below would be unranked, obviously.

Definately a "fixed flag" deathmatch mode. Each team would get 1 or 2 (for 32 or 64 player maps) uncaps. There would be 1-5 neutrals. Capturing a neutral gives you no points, but allows you to use vehicles and turrets there.

Instead of normal capture the flag, you have to take your flag to the enemy base. This stops snipers basecamping.

A couple of racing levels definately, which could run ground and air races simultaneously. The races would start 1 min into the game, and reset every 5 mins or so. All races would be combat, of course. A hummer might be more valuble than a FAV as it can shoot backwards, but it isnt as fast... And helicopters would all be transport. Plenty of antitanks/engineers in the back.

"Every squad for itself" mode - basically 10 teams of 6. Each squad gets a paradrop base - after that its all out deathmatch. Various maps with no vehicles, land vheicles, sea vehcles and of, course, Blackhawk wars! Each squad leader spawns in a blackhawk.

Deathmatch elimination - 3 lives each - you get a life back up to a maximum of 5 if you kill someone. Nice small maps for quick rounds.

Deathmatch points - first to a point limit.

No unlocks mode - Does what it says on the tin. No overdoe of G36Es and PKMs, just the standard weapons.

Carrier wars - US and Chinese carriers - obviously we'd need some real boats (ie, faster with guns). You can either capture the carrier room by room or blow it up from inside and out (as in Battlefront 2).
