A "escort this huge vehicle" type map would be interesting. You have to be near the vehicle to get it to move. Like the TF payload maps. (without the super tight path to walk down)

I would also like to see some more house-to-house type fights with destructable walls and stuff.

I would play the **** out of this mode. and to make it even more interesting have the enemy team spawn out of a flying ship in hot pursuit, attacking team wins when they take the land vehicle, defending team wins when they destroy the flying vehicle. Have LAVs, HAV's, and DS's deploy from the rear of the attacking ship. Super high tech Mad Max Anyone?

I would enjoy a progress map mode like Battlefield. And I think this would be a fitting scenic if you make it into an invasion.

A game mode where the two teams spawn, and the round doesn't end until everyone is dead, with no respawning (only reviving) allowed, or until one side captures a central objective. So, basically a mode with no CRUs, and no MCC. The entire game session can maybe be a best out of 5.

A very vehicular kind of map would also be interesting. Maybe some kind of vast, expansive desert map where there is very little cover (couple small clusters of buildings here and there) and where the objective is to capture some kind of physical device. So you can grab it, and then hop in a vehicle to get back to your MCC area with the device in-hand. The idea would be to emphasize fast vehicles like LAVs and dropships, with infantry fighting over small urban clusters from which they can exert control over an area of the map, but the infantry otherwise being really exposed amidst the salt flats or tundra or whatever beyond the urban areas.

Lovin the vehicle map idea, but wouldn't the no-respawn mode defeat the whole "Immortal soldier" thing? why would a corp send in such a finite amount of troops? The only way i could think of it being explained is maybe the facility has some feature that prevents clones awaking, so once you die your consciousness is zipped off the battlefield and then a ship brings in the next wave of clones, but then why wouldn't you just send one giant wave all at once?

Maybe an MCC takeover?

Defenders spawn inside the MCC over a battlefield, attackers start on the ground. The attackers need to use dropships to get up to the MCC and hack several terminals to bring the MCC under their control. The defenders now spawn on the ground (essentially swappign roles) and must re-take the MCC in less time than the former attackers did in order to win.

Example:

Team 1 successfully assaults the enemy MCC in 5:11. Team 2 calls down a couple of CRU's and now attempts to retake the MCC. This will end in one of three ways;

• Team 1 successfully defends their new MCC for 5:11 and wins the match
• Team 2 assaults the MCC in 4:54. Team two wins the match. The game does not keep hopping back and forth between attack and defense.
• Either team 1 or team 2 runs out of clones and the game ends. The clone count is carried between the two rounds.

This can also be completely avoided by successfully defending the MCC for 7:30, in which case team 2 wins.

BUT WAYT, Y U NO SPAUN TEEM IN ALL MILISHA SWARMZ?!

Introduce a new mid-power active module that prevents locks for 15 seconds. Forge guns dumb fire and would be unaffected by this module (if you fly right they might not be too much of an issue), and the module can only be fit on dropships (all dropships or logi dropships, either one works).

Another possible map style could be the inverse of this. The attackers spawn on their MCC and must land onto the surface and take the null cannons before they blow up the MCC. Dropships, when called while standing on the MCC, are deployed on top of the MCC (this would call for a new MCC model with a landing deck). Dropships are then flown down onto the field and infantry must take the cannons. Only dropships can be called on top of the MCC. HAV camping is a nono.

Infantry have three ways to get off of the MCC and onto the ground;

• Jumping off of the MCC and using inertia dampeners to land safely
• Loading up dropships for mass insertions around the field
• Pods loaded onto the MCC (an asset that must be loaded prior to battle, essentially BPCs) are aimed by the individual in the vicinity of beacons placed on the map (drop uplinks) and land in the genreal vicinity of the beacon. The merc chooses a spot within a radius of the beacon and the pod delivers him with a bit of inaccuracy, and is destroyed upon impact. This way dropships can be cut out of the equation once a proper foothold has been established somewhere in the map and would allow for rapid deployment. Think Starhawk respawn, but it's a horizontal launch instead of vertical.

If you wanna slap names on these, the first one can be "Assault", the second could be "Invasion". The first would be used to capture enemy assets rather than destroy them outright, and the latter can be used when attacking the first few districts on a planet to simulate an invasion.

What about a game mode with multiple win conditions, each with different results. For example, the attackers are raiding a supply warehouse, and they win by either capturing the supplies, or that isn't possible, they have to destroy them, so the enemy can't have them. It would be easier to simply destroy the enemy supplies, but more rewarding to capture them.

Procurement

Setup : Replace hack points with DUST items stored in planetside hangars for easy access, and that's the map.

Objective : Mark as many of the defender's valuables as you can, in order for them to become your valuables.
Defender corps can hack them back easy, unless you decide that a "raise" is in order...

Factions : one defender, potential for multiple attacker factions. Intense 4- or 5-way battles, anyone?
