I've been thinking about it a little while, and I think an Arena mode would suit Dust perfectly. It can be implemented easily on current maps and in my mind it should work a little like this:
- Some stadium stands would be nice on existing maps, to show this is a stadium type of battle. Or perhaps a TV ship flying over the battlefield recording the battle for televised broadcast to the rest of New Eden. Penalties for firing at the TV crew?
- Since this is entertainment for the masses of New Eden, you can do anything. Like introduce the popular game modes shooter fans like to play, without having to spend too much energy on explaining why and how it ties into the mythos. So game modes like Capture the Flag and a more 'intimate' objective mode more akin to Zones in Warhawk. And Deathmatch too of course.
- Because it's a sports event basically, there can easily be rules set on these games, like "Only standard and militia gear allowed." to allow for a more fair experience to new players to Dust.
These are the important points. It will give veterans something new to play. It will give new players the ability to fight without being overwhelmed by the options available. Rather let them work up their courage to enter the PROPER New Eden. And as I said, it should be relatively easy to implement with the current technology. And I for one am for more game modes in Dust. |

ISK betting and streaming to EVE would be grand. Tie the two games together more.
Would also be fun to see Concord a****** whoever was stupid enough to fire on the TV crew/spectators.
What was.. uhm... penetration mode again? |

Meanwhile you can beg CCP logibro to set you up a match. Yes. It's something we're discussing and looking at somewhat frequently.
I'll be happy to draw up a synopsis of what Arena should be from a shooter guys perspective  |

Proper TV functions would be cool, but primarily it's just an excuse to have some more "unrealistic" game modes like CTF. CTF doesn't exactly fit into the Dust universe without an excuse for why, and a stadium game is the perfect excuse. But yes, there are MANY MANY options down that road. |

Won't happen until we get 32v32 or 64v64 as minimum. Until then....
As for the UT part of the comment... HAHAHAaahhaaa... you're serious?
No more likes! Need it to stop at 333.

Thanks for the bumps, I'm writing that synopsis for a reference for CCP, if they are so inclined to use it. Should be interesting.

This is actually a VERY good suggestion! Don't underestimate the ego of out FPS-fans brethren.
