Throw everybody in a open arena FFA. Everyone gets the same loadout. They must pay their way into it. Similar to the idea above. There are power weapons scattered around the map. The map is huge and everyone is spawned around the rim of it, with a single HAV in the middle.

Could make for interesting hunger games style gameplay.

Also, a LAV death race.

Next, perhaps dropship wrestling? Knock the other dropship out of the sky without any weapons.

Uhhh... Maybe a mode where there is a large team versus a snall cloaked team of ninjas with sniper rifles, OP ninjas are balanced by size of opposite team. The opposin team must defend a flag from getting captured and returned to the enemy MCC. No respawns, ninjas attempt to get in without dying and picking off as many as possible enemies.

Deathmatch - 1x1, 3v3, etc.. with a specific set clone reserve for each player rather than a shared reserve.

Trial By Ordeal - 3v9 hold the line match. Win condition for the 3 will be to hack or destroy a specific objective. Win condition for the 9 is to exhaust the enemy team's clone reserve.

Capture the Flag - Hack an objective in enemy territory to receive a data file that must be delivered back to your base while keeping the enemy team from doing the same. Death destroys the data file unless revived with a nanite injector.

"Mors Certa, Hora Incerta" (Death is certain, its hour is uncertain) -- Deathmatch Survival mode with 3 teams (6 vs 6 vs 6). Every time one of the teams are eliminated the remaining 2 teams get a boost to their clone reserves & a new team is able to drop into the fray.

LAV Tag - Free for all, weapons off. One player is "it" and spawns in an LAV. Everyone else is running away while the driver tries to run them over.

Dropship Tag - Prove your dropship wrangling skills by ramming your dropship into other player's dropships when you're "it" and avoiding the player who's "it" while you aren't.

Melee fights against players or NPC Alien Creatures with no respawns and only melee weapons

KNIFE FIGHT!!!

KNIFE FIGHT!!!

Deathmatch wouldn't work cause this will be a team base massive multiplayer online first person shooter game "mmofps"



EDIT:::: but other than that everything else is good ,

+1 for gladiator arena gambling

I just hope Gladiator arenas are in the game at the main launch, I feel it will help attack and keep casuals which the community will need in order for the game to survive long term , in my opinion.
