Pardon me, but does this not go in the convieniently placed board Suggestions & Requests?
Unless you are worried that it may not receive views there, in which case, if everyone thought like you, we would see General Discussion flooded so badly it might be better to post in another board anyway.

quit trying to sound intelligent


let's take this idea a bit further (and also parodize the stuff out of it because forget'S SAKE it's SO BAD LLLLLLLFGH)

what if, instead of one, consistent map, play took place on a small section of a larger map. in order to win, you simply need to wipe out the enemy team with your crazy, ludicrously effective assault-instagib-rifle while still dodging their fire by moving at the speed of forgetin' sound

but the trick is that the rounds are designed to be super short (30 seconds is adequate, 60 seconds is long) so there's less emphasis on keeping yourself alive as much there is keeping yourself alive so you can continue to shoot other dudes. in addition, the center of the field- where the two groups of players spawn randomly within- holds a power-up (Heavy Machine Gun, Flame Shot, Shotgun, ROCKET LAUNCHER!!) that, when grabbed, will stay with the player until he is killed by an enemy or 'retreats' by leaving the small boundary that the players are allowed to fight in

collecting this power-up will cause a random player on your team (but not you) to upgrade instead

the power-up gives you a sort of incentive to want to stay toward the center, and also gives players incentive to rush toward the center blindly (and thus immediately find a conflict) and also jars the power balance oh-so-slightly so there's a little bit of an uphill battle on both sides but, due to the fact that the starter weapon- the assault rifle- is ludicrously practical will never stay in play too long and as such will never become too much of a weight toward either side

instead of fighting on a per-round basis, the game could be played in a more 'tournament' style; each round is probably about 30 seconds, but teams play to 11 rounds, extending the matches to around the 5-minute mark at a minimum and 9-minute for really tight, heated matches

provide me with a build and weapons and I will script this and make a gamemode and such ASAP because it sounds loving awesome

Why not a ProMod gamemode. The main thing you need to change is obv. the rounds and rules etc and also a Playertype who jumps quickly and does not have acceleration when jumping and walking. Another thing could be to make probing toggable instead of holding.

The rest is just a modeler for a couple of guns and a scripter or you could script the guns (remember they should be very fast almost like hitscans but also have an ammo limit).

Would be really cool and map makers could just make their own maps, I am working on one right now.

why aren't we making super crate block
