Gametypes

[Stoned Rhyno]

What Gametypes will be in UT7?

AFAIK:

DM
TDM
CTF
Survival
Conquest = Warfare = Onlaught 2.0

So far, so good, but i read often, that there will be Onslaught AND Conquest, although ONS is only a boring version of CQ, without Assault Objectives.

I also read something about vCTF and v(T)DM, are they mutators and do they use CQ-Maps or extra maps?

If there will be 17 Vehicle based maps out of 40, there wouldn´t be much left for DM-Maps (10-12). Sounds like to much vehicle-based.

Btw: I never liked ONS, but i liked AS, even with vehicles. My favorite Map was AS-BP2-Thrust, hopefully CQ will be like this.

they might list 1v1 DM as a seperate gametype since its going to be significantly different from DM and TDM with lobby system and all

[Trailboss3]

Vctf :) :)

[Molgan]

What they mentioned:

DM
TDM
Survival(1on1)
CTF
VCTF
ONS
CON

My speculation is that the first 3 will use the same maps while the rest will have specific maps. There might allso be some insta gt like iCTF in 2k4.

Hang on, as of last I knew, vctf and CTF are being lumped together, like 2 feet crammed in a single sock.

Now, as a diehard vctfer (all that running around tight DM-mey corridors isn't for me, in whatever game) I'd be over the moon to hear that they're going to be individual gametypes, but where's that info come from?

Or have you just mis-read the current info?

[HellFox]

im pretty sure its
DM(Classic)
Survival(new 1on1)
TDM(classic)
CTF(vehicles included)
ONS(classic)
Warfare(new)

[Stoned Rhyno]

I think its strange when Epic combines AS, ONS, DDOM and BR to only one Gametype (CON) to reduce the division of the community, and then still add ONS as a separate Gamemode.


I also think there should be an Invasion-Style Congquest Map with NaPali Setting (Monsters guard objectives and send waves to conqueres objectives). This would also include the required sourcecode to mod a custom Invasion Gametype.

[BioHaZarD]

Survival?
CON is idd ONS + AS + BR + DDOM?
i dont think there will be any separate ONS

[Madridista]

WTF is survival?

hope they wont change the classic 1v1 for some **** LMS style mod or something... i hope it just 1v1 with a new name.

god if there is 1 mod that epic shouldent change then its 1v1.

[HellFox]

ONS IS going to exist as a separate gametype.

Wasn't the info about merging vCTF/CTF just some speculation in a magazine a while ago? The only thing I heard them say is that they spent a lot of time tweaking vctf game play. Have a hard time beliving that the 2 are possible to combine, different kind of maps and vctf with tl/ctf with hover boards don't sound like something people would appreciate.. And they said that the original ons game play will still be there(the video interwiev with that brunette). Conquest might be reduced into a sort of ONS campaign over a couple of maps thou(E3 interwiev), with some extra resources to fight over.

they actually mentioned all that plus vDM and vTDM

SV was also in UC2 :) it's a row of players where the first two fight each other to the death, the winning guy continues to play against the third one, while the loser ends up last on the list. person with most frags wins.

[Stoned Rhyno]

Another question is, if InstaGib uses the ShockRifle (hopefully with a stronger sound) like before, or the SniperRifle ilke in UC2.

I still don´t believe, there is ONS exta in the game. It would make no sense, except as an mutator for CON.

Is there any up-to-date announcement about the gametypes?

[da ghost]

hopefully they have IRC support out of the box so that we don't have the UT2003 IRC Gametype thing...

if you don't know what I'm talking about then maybe someone else will explain it to you.

[m1cky]

ONS will further exist as a separate gametype ?? Puh... i've read it would be modified to Warfare or something like that.

ONS is quasi the only gametype i play. (k k sometimes is instagib dm much of fun)

[A_Spec]

there was some speculation about a new "invasion" gametype.

[Molgan]

there was some speculation about a new "invasion" gametype.omg nooo!!..

[A_Spec]

yeah, I read it in some IGN article a while ago. Lemme check if I can find it.

What do you mean lumped together?
If there's no option to remove vehicles, I guess I will have to wait 'till UT2009 comes out.:(

[Stoned Rhyno]

I think it could imo work like that:

"
There will be:
DM
TDM
Survival
CTF
(some of the DM- and CTF-Maps include Vehicles for vDM/vTDM/vSurvival and vCTF)
and
Conquest
(Some of the Maps work just like Onslaught with Nodes and Cores)
"

By adding maps with different gameplay (e.g. with/wiothout Vehicles), the amount of GameTypes could be kept low.

[HellFox]

of course they wont remove the classic ONS
and for CTF
some maps will have vehicles and other dont, its up to the mapper

[Jake-SF]

I still dont get the point, in CTF there is a translocator, in VCTF there isn't. And it seems vital to both's gameplay. How will they merge together? A map side option to enable it?

EDIT : Or i guess something that detect if vehicles are availaible or not in the map... seems logical, doh.

[m00neye]

ofc they will not kill classic ctf, they wouldn't dare :D

[AFG34]

hell no, i dnt want veichles included in regular ctf, make it like 04, 2 diff mode

[Gregori]

If Warfare ends up being very similar to ONS, they should just merge the two, get rid of ONS, and bring back Classic Domination!
