Well, feel free to let us know .... anytime now.... take you time.....not hurry.... whenever you ready... we here...waiting....

Just made me think of a new game mode, something similar. It is using the idea of red-lines. Perhaps two teams are fighting head to head trying to push eachother back, the furhter a team goes back the further the redline comes forward meaning they cannot push back again. This would mean there would be clear cut attack and defense teams. One team starts off with all points on the map, and the enemy push forward to take them. Once the enemy take objectives the red-line comes with them, meaning the defending team cannot retake the objective.

It's a bit creased at the moment and the idea is fresh in my mind, needs some ironing out.

Yeah.. i was thinking something similar... it will definitely be more "Domination" like. basically ... "Dominating the other team."

The idea is good, the execution is poor.. It should be an AREA to defend or attack, not a null cannon that creates a bottleneck situation. A bit like a red-line that the other team have to try to Dominate, and then defend it. Ambush... but with a "control zone".

843 Epidemic Isuuaya Tactical Caldari State 335	Posted - 2013.10.24 11:02:00 - [3] - Quote Agreed. A king of the hill map makes for much more interesting tactics than domination. Maybe even make it so that no uplinks are allowed in the control zone? Although maybe not, it depends on the size. With the current domination, let's be honest CCP, it's something that was thought up in about 10 minutes and then crammed in to make it look like we have a new game mode. It's skirmish with only one letter. Let's not bullshit here, there was no creativity. King of the hill is far more entertaining, when you are defending hordes of enemies over a wide radius, rather than playing the game of "who can spam the most uplinks" or "Who has the most explosive weaponry". The control zone could even move throughout the map to make for more dynamic gameplay, where the entire battlefield shifts, and it's a race to see who can get to the next point first. Doesn't that sound much more entertaining that what we currently have, AKA: "ok guys, let's go to Alpha." "We got it, what now" "Um, secure the high buildings I guess, get some forge guns up there" "Cool, done. Anything else we can do" "Not really, from here on our it is just ambush" "oh."

Yeah.. that is how "traditionally" King Of The Hill is, but i suppose CCP could try to add a unique feature to it... by creating a red-line that goes green as the attacking team pushes forwards.

"Dominating the other team." I like the idea of dynamic red lines. I guess each team has to dominate the objective for some time say 4 minutes and hack attempts reset the timer so there is an actual chance to keep the battle going. The winner controls 2 out of three cannons, destroys the enemy MCC or clones them first.

That is call "CRU camping" ....in a King Of The Hill scenario the AREA is normally a lot bigger... so THAT doesn't happens.

I'm getting tired of the complete lockdown ability, esp of the underground hack points, of whoever gets there first or usually whoever has the proto squad. Seriously, fck this game. It's shelf life is very short right now.

Wrong it would be a snipers best friend because you would have to stay in a small zone. stop trying to make a game that only allows the playstlyes you like to work.
