Eh, to the contrary though, there is a reason why most FPS have similar game modes.
How do you get contracts on territory, how do you even do a lot of things expected in Legion?
Let's say PC, you attack someone there shields power up, you have to wait 8hrs before you can move in and attack, do you just stand on the edge of the map staring and a large blue bubble?
There are going to lobbies, what will set Legion apart is that it's not as simple as (Find Match > Join Lobby > Repeat)
Hopefully there will be multiple types of lobby
1) Social Hubs, the full implementation of Incarna, you can walk around Pubs, Clubs and Bars, Browse through Bazars, rummage through Markets and do dodgey under the table deals in steamy back streets. It's here you will spend most of your non-combat time, moving from station to station to find the best deals.
2) Thunderdome, much like you said youself, a single slightly larger station than normal, deep in gallantean space, where you can waitch and bet on matches in progress. In addition you can play menial matches on the fround in large teams, or exhibition (1v1) matches inside the station.
3) Warbarges, the final lobby and your intermediatary between the ability to clone jump and your missions on the ground, from here you have your merc quaters mainatained on the barge, you can accept local contracts for ground based operations, your position determines who where and what you fight.
As for game modes:
Let's start with the simple one's
1) Ground War - Team Deathmatch 128+ v 128+, no holds barred deathmatch, mainly for loot and controlling Skyfire batteries, it is the cheapest contract to set up and provides the lowest reward, but is useful if you don't need to obtain the ground/district you are fighting on
2) Ambush - Team Deathmatch, once again you can't capture the district in which you are fighting, however setting an ambush contract on say a supply line allows you to disrupt transport/production/refinement of resources.
3) Seige - Domination 128+ v 128+, if you know you are about to be attacked, you can set up a seige contract before your enemy sets up their attack contract, doing so results in a single point, under the protection of defenders (at start) similar to a current domination, the winner takes control of the district
and many more I can't be bothered to type out right now
Looks like its back to FPS Military Shooter 56
Monkey Mac - Just another pile of discarded ashes on the battlefield!
