The BChaps Idea Thread

---------------------------------------------------------

I get bored sometimes and think up of some ideas that I think are pretty cool.
I like many of them and don't want to forget them....so I'll put them here.

This thread is mainly just to get my ideas out there and to be a place to store my ideas.
Go ahead and let me know your opinions and such
Any suggestions I like from you guys I will add in here in RED

Post #2 has the latest updates listed in it.

Note:
Most of this (especially gametypes) are things that I think of while typing....so they probably have some flaws that need to be fixed

---------------------------------------------------------

Gametypes

Elimination:

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•5v5
•Same map settings as TDM
•Each team receives 2 or 3 respawns

Gameplay:
•Each kill your team gets adds 1 respawn to your counter
•Each death takes 1 away from your counter (like normal)

Objective:
•First team to be eliminated loses

Notes:
*This could make for some cool opportunities
--ex: 1v5...the 1 gets a kill, now he has a teammate to help
*This is essentially a combo of TDM and Exe/WarZone

WingMen:

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•3v3v3
•Weapons spawn after 30 sec (like in Wingman)

Gameplay:
•Each player is assigned a 'target'
--The target appears as to the player as the leader does in CTL
•You can only kill your 'target' (execution rules)
•You can't kill people who aren't your target
--but you you down them (infinite downs allowed)
•When you kill your target, you get assigned a new one
•If your target dies, you get assigned a new one

Objective:
•Be that last team alive

Notes:
*I got this idea from Assassin's Creed MP
*The last player alive for each team only has 3 downs (like standard execution)
---if he had infinite like the others, it could be boosted too much

Capture the Team:

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•5v5
•CTL map set-up
•Every Player spawns as the leader

Gameplay:
•Every player is the leader, so they all have the ability to see through walls
•There isn't a star above the leaders head (as in CTL)
•If a leader is freed, he/she dies and respawns (prevents trapped leaders)
•Each person who is captured grants your team 1 point per second
---so holding 3 leaders will give you 3 points per second

Objective:
1. Capture the entire Enemy team to win
2. Score 200 points

Notes:
*Score doesn't reset if leader is dropped

Capture the Random (need new name ):

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•5v5
•CTL map set-up
•Every Player spawns as the leader

Gameplay:
•Every player is the leader, so they all have the ability to see through walls
•There isn't a star above the leaders head (as in CTL)
•If a leader is freed, he/she dies and respawns (prevents trapped leaders)

Objective:
•Capture someone and hold them for 30 seconds

Notes:
*Captured people still have the struggle ability

Guardian 2.0:

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•5v5
•Same as Guardian in GoW2

Gameplay:
•Same as GoW2 Guardian (with change below)
---If you kill the enemy leader, your leader respawns (and in-turn, your team as well)

Objective:
•Eliminate the opposing team

Notes:
*If your leader is dead and it is 2v5, you must strive to kill the enemy leader
----if you do, they no longer have respawns, and your team gains the ability to respawn again

CTL 1.5:

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•5v5
•Same as CTL

Gameplay:
•Same as CTL (with change below)
--Every 3 times the Leader is freed, the person who freed him/her becomes the leader
---if said person is dead, once they respawn, they are leader
---once leader is freed for the 3rd time, he/she dies and respawns

Objective:
•Hold the enemy leader for 30 seconds

Notes:
*This would appeal to the people who constantly complain about the leader getting smoked and pick up
*Maybe change so that the leader only changes if it happens 3 times within 3-5 minutes...

CTL 2.0:

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•5v5
•Same as CTL

Gameplay:
•Same as CTL (with change below)
---When your leader is taken, your team only has 5 respawns left
---When your leader is freed, you get your respawns back

Objective:
•Eliminate the opposing team and keep their leader captured

Notes:
*This version of CTL seems like it would appeal more to the 'We Want Guardian' people

Territories (still needs some work):

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•Each team (5v5) spawns on opposite sides of the map
•Each person has $1000
•On the map are some horde fortifications (turret, sentry, fences, dummy's), all horde outposts, and all horde weapons

Gameplay:
•Each kill you get gives you more money (assists give you partial money)
•The longer your kill-streak, the more money you get for the kill
----1-$200....2-$500...3-$1000...then increases by $250 each time after that ($1250, $1500, $1750)
•If you want a weapon on a map, you must buy it
•If there is an un-bought outpost, you can buy it (each outpost = $2000)
•If the enemy has an outpost that you want, you must destroy all fortifications from the outpost before you are allowed to buy their outpost ($3000)
•Wingman/KotH spawns are used to prevent trapping

Objective:
Not sure which to go with:
1.Capture the other team's base (destroy all fortifications from the enemy's original base and purchase the outpost)
2.Conquer the map(destroy all of their fortifications from all of their bases and purchase all outposts)
---First team to own all outposts

Notes:
*fortifications would have less health than in Horde...or else they would be too hard for the enemy to destroy...

[DJ CARNIV AL]

Capture the Team would be HILARIOUS! It would be like a Ballroom dancing competion COME DANCE WITH GEARS!

[reaL eXe]

These are some really good ideas bro, Elimination sounds very cool, then people would cry less if there teammates are bad but if they get a kill you will respawn again I like this idea.
Guardian 2.0 is clear I think.
Capture the Team would be nice to.
Capture the Random is to much I think.
Territories needs more time to think about what you want to accomplish with that mode.
But further awesome thread!

[TAO Devil]

Round = Burn out the Day

Games = Burn out the night

I'm game for Elimination, CTT and Territories.

Thanks for the input...

Territories is one that I thought of while laying in bed a few weeks ago...
I can picture how it would play in my head, but without being able to play it, I can't think of more rules or problems with it.
I think it has the ability to be awesome...but as of right now, it seems a little crazy

CTR would be nice, but only with a good team.
If you are paired with randoms or a few bad people, it would be over too fast.

As you said, Elimination is pretty nice.
That is the one that I think would be the most enjoyable.

Round = Burn out the Day

Games = Burn out the night

Icwatudidthar

I had the song stuck in my head all morning

[Vexta]

Haha love this. I'll have to come back to it!

[ORTIN]

Epic really needs to look at the Elimination one, that's awesome man.

[Hatpillow]

Oh my goodness Elimination sounds so sweet.

[Losthursday]

Elimination sounds fun. It's essentially Dodgeball.

[PopularHydra]

CTL 2.0 is basically guardian in a way.

[bchaps]

Elimination sounds fun. It's essentially Dodgeball.

As I was thinking the game out in my head, I didn't realize that.
Then earlier when i was typing this up, I started picturing Dodgeball (movie) being played with lancers

CTL 2.0 is basically guardian in a way.

I thought of this a long time ago...as a way to please the Guardian people...so ya, it is a lot like guardian (with a CTL catch)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

It really seems that people like the 'Elimination' thing...
It would be cool if any of these things could get implemented

[Onyx Guarrd]

Like guardian, but original guardian.

[KRAZIE ARTIST]

Elimination sounds sweet. You should make a petition.

[PreludeToHatred]

Some pretty good ideas. Guardian 2.0 GoGo!

[Skilled]

Not sure about the respawning in Guardian 2.0 it might make the game mode take longer. Sounds good otherwise.

[bchaps]

Elimination sounds sweet. You should make a petition.

Thanks, but no thanks...
If someone wants to, go ahead...but I just don't really feel like making a large petition for it
A. it probably wont accomplish anything
B. not really in the mood (may change later though)

[FreakkoRock]

Great!! Also nice reference to Blue Oyster Cult!

[Ascottpwns]

Elimination, Capture the Team, and Territories sound like something i would play ALOT

Mostly Elimination, EPIC should really take a look at that one

[Final Marauder]

Loved the Blue Oyster references, and your ideas are awesome too, and laid out beautifully.

[4evrAussie]

All sound awesome; I especially like Capture the Team and Elimination.
Suggestion for Territories: Instead of destroying all the enemy's equipment to capture their base, perhaps a ring around the enemy command post that you have to stand in for a certain period of time, then buy.
REALLY hope EPIC takes up that Foreshadowing idea, sh**s ridiculous.

[DragonzZilla]

Hostage for the CTR?

[Phantom139]

While I enjoy the concept of providing ideas for new game modes, there will always be more people who want other things.

Personally, this is why I'd rather EPIC add game customization options to allow us to make these types of game modes so we don't need to rely on hopes for them to add all of our suggestions.

[DragonzZilla]

How bout Ticker tag?

For me, this thread was really made for 2 reasons
a. a place for me to put down my ideas...so I don't lose them
b. opinions could be given, and help improve my ideas

I didn't have any intention of trying to get Epic to do any of these things...I just wanted my ideas out there.
Some of the ideas seem popular, so, it seems like many people would like it if Epic did some...but that wasn't the original intention.

I totally agree that they should have/still should add more customization option.

How bout Ticker tag?

Name sounds interesting...what is it exactly?

Loved the Blue Oyster references, and your ideas are awesome too, and laid out beautifully.

BOC used to be one of my favorite bands...I still listen to some of their albums, but moved on to some other music as well
Thanks, it is always nice to hear that someone loves my ideas!
Layout: I've gotten a lot of practice on the layout...Q&A threads...and the old Members-Helping-Member thread

Thanks again

Peace Out...Bed time...
I just remembered some of my older ideas...I'll update the OP tomorrow

[bchaps]

Just added 'Stranded Map Pack'
--thought of it a few months ago, but just remembered it.

Going to do more HW, but then I have another gametype I'll add later

[bchaps]

All of this talk about Guardian and CTL made me think of this thread...and a new idea that I forgot to add before
CTL 1.5 added to OP

[Victimizer]

I think Elimination would actually be possible for EPIC to do and I'd be a pretty awesome gamemode. I would play it.
And if you want you can add this ribbon:
Button Masher - Win a chainsaw duel

[bchaps]

I think Elimination would actually be possible for EPIC to do and I'd be a pretty awesome gamemode. I would play it.

Thanks.
That seems to be the general opinion of the community...almost everyone who posted in here has said that they like that one

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just added
FFA weekend
--pretty much a FFA Gnasher event

and

WingMen
--Pretty much 3v3v3 wingman with a twist on who you can kill

[Porshapwr]

GREAT thread Chaps. I really love the sound of "Elimination" and feel I would prefer that to TDM as it would be like "Tug of War" in some other games. It would probably need a timer though as sometimes those can drag on. End of timer, team with most lives in counter wins.

Also love the Wingmen idea. I'm a big Wingman fan but feel 3 v 3 v 3 could be amazing.

I think we all know most want Guardian back. That's a no brainer.


You certainly have my support and honestly, I just find it sad that in 3 years Epic couldn't do better with game modes than TDM and CTL. I mean comon...............

Now just add my CTF thread below and you'd be all set.

[JASONJCO]

i like the idea of Guardian 2.0, i made it some changes,

the leader have 3 deads, and can't see the enemies coming, after he dies the 3 times, the team can't respawn again.

[james288gto]

Awesome ideas! Support is granted mate.

[bchaps]

i like the idea of Guardian 2.0, i made it some changes,

the leader have 3 deads, and can't see the enemies coming, after he dies the 3 times, the team can't respawn again.

I actually thought about something like this before.

There is a problem with it though.
In case you don't remember, Guardian games could last forever in GoW2.
Allowing the leader multiple deaths would make the games even longer...

It seems like a good idea at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it probably wouldn't work too well when played out.

[John Birdflu]

Some cool ideas bro. I love the free for all idea with GNASHERS ONLY. That would be sick man!

[CGOWAddict]

Guardian 2.0:

Spawning/Map Set-up:
•5v5
•Same as Guardian in GoW2

Gameplay:
•Same as GoW2 Guardian (with change below)
---If you kill the enemy leader, your leader respawns (and in-turn, your team as well)

Objective:
•Eliminate the opposing team

Notes:
*If your leader is dead and it is 2v5, you must strive to kill the enemy leader
----if you do, they no longer have respawns, and your team gains the ability to respawn again

Don't know if I like the "kill the other leader my leader respawns" part. That could make for a very very, long match.

[bchaps]

Don't know if I like the "kill the other leader my leader respawns" part. That could make for a very very, long match.

Yes, it could...
But how many times in Guardian did the team who's leader died actually succeed in taking out the enemy leader.
1. This would discourage the last guy from camping
2. it wouldn't happen too much
3. It would give the alive leader a reason not to goof off once the other team is down people.

[bchaps]

Just added a few things
-some weapon skins for the Stranded DLC
-some weekend event ideas

[SilentCO1]

Definately Franklin. Black Griffin FTW.

[SpecOpsHD]

I love these ideas! They are sooo great! :'D
