+1 to bringing back the war barge time.

Trading is supposed to be in the works.

+1 to capture the flag but it will need a dust twist for it to actually make sense (because a group of money-grubbing mercenaries are not going to gather around for a good old game of capture the flag)

Will probably need to be more like Team Fortress 2's CTF where you need to steal secret data. So how about the mercs need to hack* a computer in the enemy base** and the hacker gets data downloaded to his suit that must be taken back to the forward base for transmission to the employer? As usual for CTF, the data will come with a virus that causes the hacker to intermittently radiate his position across the tacnet (similar to how a scanned person is now but different color). No CRUs so uplinks will be incredibly useful.

*Multiple hackers speed up the hack like usual but only the first hacker gets the data
**Enemy permanent spawn points must be just outside the base so enemies can't spawn and immediately kill any hackers.

more like domination where the null cannons where at the teams' home bases while the objective would feed out ammunition for the controlling sides null cannon that must then be carried from the objective back to the teams home base and if the carrier were to die or drop it it would automatically be destroyed in order to make sure no "flags" where ever stuck in an impossible to retrieve locations by mistake.

Capture the flag, it's in almost in every shooter and it never gets old +1

It shouldn't be immediately destroyed. The attacking team should have a chance to revive the data carrier before the data copy is lost. Just make it so that it isn't destroyed until the revive timer ends.

i think instead of capping a flag we should be capping data that we hacked from the enemy team or corp that we bring back to bass, if CCP wanted they could make this data valuable so dust mercs could use it to steal money from the enemy crop or the eve pilots could use it to send down a strike or steal money or take over land without a fight (depending on if its pc or a pub match)

One of the CTF variants for DUST I heard was to have the "flag" be a HAV (possibly crippled so it can't shoot and moves slower). The team needs to get a tank driver into it and escort it back to their side before the enemy can blow it up, forcing it to respawn in the center of the map again. This would reward players with lots of SP in tanking, but also encourage cooperative gameplay with remote repairs, and AV etc. maybe it's the first team to recover 2 vehicles without exhausting all of their clones wins.

If it's first to two, then no one will ever win.

*get into tank*
*start driving*
*Redberry (forge gun) you*

Rinse and repeat.

Please bring back some sort of waiting period in the warbarge before game launch.

Get Scotty some help he needs to sober up...

CTF dont really fit a game like DUST, maybe a variant of the mode.something like stealing Intel from enemy Data center.

Man there are so many game modes they could add.

Capture the flag would draw lots of attention, it's the staple of any good FPS.

Another good one would be like domination. Where you capture and hold patches for a bit, but after a certain time has elapsed the objective moves. (Forget what this game mode is called)

Maybe even some good old bomb the objective.

Or even an objective based gameplay. Where we have certain objectives that need captured, destroyed, ect. One side is the attacker, trying to capture and destroy. The other the defender, defending their objectives. Maybe implement much longer spawn times as well. (Think old Americas Army)

The only way I would supprt having a virus broadcast the position of where the "carrier" is, is if no orbitals were allowed to be thrown at the one carrying it, or if it could be spread across the team to say two other people, so that the enemy would at least have to guess which person to orbital strike. Otherwise I see in the future of this mod proto players holding the fort and sniping people to death while throwing orbitals down to anyone clever enough to beat their defenses. All they would have to do is to cap the flag 3-5 times make sure to always have a lead by two then just go about slaughtering people as if it was a domination match or an ambush match.

How would people even be able to hold the fort, if they are a new player team going up against a more seasoned team, would their be internal defenses built into the base or would it rely upon people to make their own setups with uplinks, ammo hives, remote explosives, scanners, etc?

Please bring back some sort of waiting period in the warbarge before game launch.

Why do I ask this?

Because it gives teams with unsquaded players a chance to squad up and organize. Games since drunk Scotty have become grossly uneven. Especially when unsquaded run against coordinated hordes. It makes the game boring or frustrating depending on if you're the slaughtering team, or the slaughtered cannon fodder.
I have also been in matches where it's my team against no one. Or, me against 10 other players. Better yet how about the randomness of squad mates being dropped from squad as we enter battle?

The old battle system wasn't broke... So why fix it?

The new maps are too easy strategically... On these maps once 1 team captures A in these closed in rooms. The game is effectively over. Especially when a hard earned orbital is in effective...


Next suggestion...

Trading system and corp asset banks...

If the game is touted as an MMO/FPG, a trading system would be nice to maybe send items to players in the mail.

It would also be nice for players to donate unused gear to their corp for others to use.


Next suggestion..

A new game mode called "Capture The Flag" would be a hit, a success... Have some new maps with two bunker/castle type fortresses on each side of the map. Have the inside of the complexes only accessible on foot. Have the middle of the map have trenches, bridges, obstacles... Vehicles would be allowed to carry the stolen flag outside of the complexes... Maybe the 1st team to 10 flag captures wins?

Lastly, war points for destroying nanohives and uplinks... War points for scanning also...

Instead of Capture the Flag what about Titan Mode from BF2142, what you do is that their are 2 MCCs in the Air, 1 you defend & 1 you attack. Now unlike Skirmish mode, instead of capturing Null Cannons to Destroy the MCC, what about we landed on the ship & destroy it from the inside, just a thought. What do you think?
