Mind you, I have no coding skills what so ever. This is an idea/request that I'm just throwing out there for discussion. Also I'm always willing to learn to code so if anyone could point me in a general direction I'd be quite grateful.
Keep in mind that the game type doesn't need to be called "Endurance", I just wanted to let the reader know that it isn't exactly Invasion. Though it could just be what we need to bring an Invasion like game type to UT3.
This is basically exactly like Invasion, minus the variety of low detail monsters to go through. This could work well because we would already have most of our resources. I think that Invasion can still be fun and challenging by using UT3s bots as the wave of enemies. Of course like Invasion the difficulty and numbers will raise along with every wave.
Problems I think there might be is having a very large number of highly detailed characters in one map. As well as to how challenging it could get to be. In Invasion monsters attacked you from everywhere with special attacks. I'm thinking it would just be the difficulty of the AI and the mass amount of bots that would be in the wave.
Confusion with teammates and bots? I think that can easily be resolved with a specific team icon of some sort that can be displayed over player models. Also team colors or setting the enemy to a team color whilst allowing the player to retain their original color would work well.
Lets discuss this! After all, thats what forums are for.
